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 aboutidf-cool. That’s some weak-ass shit

Add the israel-cool flag now

    interesting as in what, exactly?

    “Interesting” as in “double or more.”

    because they aren’t, you know, the global imperial core

    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.

    because the flags you list aren’t, for the most part, seen as primarily religious

    A national flag is primarily a national symbol, not a religious symbol. Why would anyone see the Israeli national flag as primarily religious?

    we offer a bit more grace to explicit nonchristian religious symbols (star of david, crescent)

    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.
