    I can understand that if you’re from a seal-on-bedsheet state, but I’d figure especially at the moment democrats in Maryland, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado (I definitely saw a lot of state flags alone in Denver), California, Hawaii etc. have a lot of reasons to prefer their actually nice flags

    In England there’s two flags, a flag for if you’re racist (English flag, except if there’s a major sporting event), and the British flag for if you’re proud of your country in a non racist way

    Does it work the same way in the more reasonable US states with the state vs national flag?


















  • woe is me, a news source that wants to remain independent of outside interests is taking steps to avoid having to get funded by big businesses or the government who’ll want to set an agenda…

    I’d be more concerned about reading something free and not ad-supported (and like it or not, untargeted ads are next to worthless), as the money has to be coming from somewhere

    For real though unless it’s both a simple and already recognisable symbol, or doesn’t belong on a state or national flag…

    There’s of course allowances for local culture and history, eg. standards vs flags in Britain & Ireland - Wales is the only one to use their standard rather than flag though, first nations flags being more complex, traditional chinese flags + bhutan having more complex symbols, but taking a complex symbol and reducing it down to something oversimplified breaks both the rules of the symbols being recognisable and of the symbols being conceptually simple - it’d be better to just put a detailed rose, otherwise it just looks like a corporate logo: all you’d be missing is some royalty free corporate nothing music as the national anthem
