It’s preposterous that the flag of the most destructive proponent of western (mostly US) hegemony and imperialism is placed right there beside a pride flag with a peace sign!
Let’s use out combined power to stamp out this murderous, civilian-bombing and subjugating stain from the canvas (by extending the prideflag over it)!
NATO has a far-right historical context and does not exist out of that context. Like, nobody is from NATO, it’s an Imperialist millitary alliance.
Well, countries are also just made up and serve to divide people. Not much better than the NATO…
I’d say ‘no border no nation’ and then we’ve also solved the problem of NATO!
Countries exist regardless, they are pockets of self-governance. NATO is an explicit defense alliance among the largest Imperialist Powers. In Star Wars, it’s the Empire’s military forces, it’s a defense of the status quo against those under the thumb of Empire.
Sure, I can agree that the NATO is considerably worse than countries. I still think that there shouldn’t be any country flags on spaces like this and that patriotism will always lead to nationalism and then to fascism.
Sure, I can agree with most of that. I think Nationalism is worse than Patriotism, and won’t inherently lead to fascism, as fascism is more of a “turning back of the clock” to the “good old days.” A flag of progress can be useful and good.
