Flag dynamics

[pete01]

This is not far from where I live, I went down this road today, I did wonder how they got the flags so high?

 

[morqthana]

Literally nobody is saying that.

Neither literally nor metaphorically did I say anything to justify this:

As I understand it, you'd throw your country's flag to the ground in temper and jump all over it because [in your opinion] a few people may have used it inappropriately?

Didn't stop you though, did it.

@highwayman - can put them up at 56mph in his pure sine wave bucket

 

[aveatry]

Your beloved St. George was half Palestinian.

Well then I have the perfect solution for morqthanna. He/ she can just fly the non "racist" half.

 

[Munroast]

and that wally's flag of choice only exists because we (the country he hates most of all) helped the oppressed arabs break away from the oppressive ottoman turks by supplying them with arms, money and know how (think lawrence of arabia)

 

[morqthana]

the country he hates most of all

So because I don't like racism, xenophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, homophobia, sexism, etc, because I think that those views demean this country, not enhance it, because I am not proud to count anti-immigrant, anti-asylum-seeker bigots as fellow countrymen, because I don't like the way that right-wing thugs have hijacked national symbols to try and make it look as though their twisted ideologies are what those symbols mean, I hate this country?

The only sort of people who think that are those who themselves genuinely believe that bigoted, prejudiced, and violent attitudes are what the country should stand for.

I don't hate this country. But I would hate the one people like you want it to become.

That is a big virtue signalling list there but you missed antisemitic

The Englishman needs his own -- Anglophobia, morqthana seems to be Anglophobic.

and yet you wave the same flag as Hamas

 

[Risteard]

He's displaying the legitimate flag of Palestine, and not of a fake country which stole Palestine. Palestine is a country which was given away by those who had no right to give it away. The Zionist entity has no legitimacy whatsoever.

Yes, imagine a world where people who work are better off than those who don't! How terrible! I'm literally crying right now.

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

As you both ought to be well aware - He's displaying the flag of a proscribed terrorist organisation in this country, the United Kingdom.

 

[JohnW2]

...He's displaying the flag of a proscribed terrorist organisation in this country, the United Kingdom.

He's displaying the flag of a country/state isn't he, not one just of a 'terrorist organisation' which exists within that country, isn't it.

Your statement seems similar to suggesting that the English flag is "the flag of an extremist group within the UK", isn't it?

That is exactly what morqthana has been saying,

 

[Risteard]

Nonsense. He is merely displaying a National Flag - in this instance the National Flag of the State of Palestine.
