Starting to feel pretty fucking precious that this is the only imperialist country that doesn’t have a burning flag emoji on account of it having a religious symbol on it
Meanwhile the IOF is plastering it all over their war crimes
Don’t tell me about. That’s some weak-ass shit
Add the israel-cool flag now
Oh, it’s because it has religious iconography on it?
Looks like an interesting standard to me, but I guess I’m just a heretical commie: Opium, heroin, fent - it’s all the same to me.
interesting as in what, exactly? you can say its always the same map or whatever but like, this is biased the opposite of the usual way, and personally I’m cool with that. the way I see it we offer a bit more grace to explicit nonchristian religious symbols (star of david, crescent) because they aren’t, you know, the global imperial core, and because the flags you list aren’t, for the most part, seen as primarily religious even if there’s a major element of it.
“Interesting” as in “double or more.”
There’s lots of imperialists out there, not just Christians. There are plenty of atheist imperialists for that matter - as far as I can, atheists pretending to be theists are the actual imperial core. And though you won’t often hear me say it, there are also non-imperial Christians. And now and then, here and there, even Christians have been persecuted.
A national flag is primarily a national symbol, not a religious symbol. Why would anyone see the Israeli national flag as primarily religious?
This is more of a “lack of grace” for criticizing non-Christian iconography imo. I would hope a website that quotes Marx as much as Hexbear would have plenty of grace in criticizing any religion, so long as they are not attacking other members in doing so.
