Anyone know what stars the top left corner of the nato compass star represent?

Top right is EU, bottom right is aus/nz, bottom left korea, taiwan and i presume japan? Extra chevrons are for ukraine and hongkong.

Incidentally the southern cross, used here to represent the white bastions in asia is often used as a nationalist icon in australia. It's popularity as a tattoo for the far right have earned it the nickname: the aussie swazi (ozi swozi) since it's like an australian swastika.

    Ideally, scrutinizing a flag to make sure it's free of symbolism you object to shouldn't take longer than pledging allegiance to it.

    No flag that i can remember or find has 5 red/4 white.

    That's clearly meant to be USA stripes (malaysia, liberia less likely in context) just they didn't check how many stripes.

    Wait, was it 13? I only remember the stripes represent the first founding states and the 50 represents all of the states

    I dunno, I ain't American

    This needs to be salted, burnt, and desecrated

    Well except the southern cross constellation in the 4 o'clock position from the NATO star. That's definitely southern hemisphere.

    I think the best flag would be all the flags made into a photo mosaic of a big smiley face

    How is pledging allegiance to any flag based? Especially not this one

    Yeah it's literally rainbow-washed US imperialism and that's enough for people to be like, "oh sweet, nationalism!"

    How the hell are EU, Taiwan, Australia, Hongkong, Ukraine "US Imperialism"?

    πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡Ό πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ πŸ‡­πŸ‡° are the prime example of antiimperialism. That alone is enough to look at this and go "hell yeah fuck them empires, based!"

    cringe.

    the only people who make an ideology this much their personality are conservatoids with their trump brand socks and underwear and steaks and watches and phone and framed holographic print of a signed portrait of Trump hanging higher on their wall than the cross they pretend to carry.

    Yeah i presume that posting a flag for liberal bootlickers in an anarchist shitposting community was meant to highlight the cringe.

    Pledging allegiance to any flag is total bootlicker behaviour. And while this flag centers queer and minority representation, it also includes all the nations that comprise the american empire.
