Do you like the new American flag?

[purplepoppy]

Don't worry it's not replacing the official one, it's just going to be used for International sporting events. It's said to better reflect American diversity while being less militaristic than the original which can come off as aggressive and imperialistic to other countries.

[CalmUntilAbused]

The terrifying part is that I would not bet for the first sentence in Your description of the situation to be true. One day, we might wake up to horrific news of a flag of this kind actually replacing the current official American flag, given the dynamics of what's happening in the US society.

Now... While I consider that part about "diversity" to be pure, unadulterated nonsense on the part of those trying to advocate for the implementation of this version of the American flag, I can actually see how this flag feels less aggressive and imperialistic than the official one. It sure feels less threatening... But it might just be due to my association between the image of the original flag and what happened in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan... You know what I mean. That altered version lacks this easy association, so it seems more peaceful. Given the subtext of the "diversity" part though, I'm not sure if I like the idea. While it does feel less imperialistic, it might actually be more imperialistic in the sense that it aggressively conveys the current ideological trend in the US to the world's general public.

I`m not American, but that flag (the way i see it) promotes the lgbtqvmnhytlop+ bullshit! So, NO i don`t like it, just keep it simple keep it normal. They try to "imprint" in people`s brains all sort of stupid ideas, and after a while when they get away with it (and some will be against it) they will start to "shout" from the top of their lungs that YOU HAVE CHOSEN IT! so it will be No Change and No going back (you`ll be stuck with it)

[Icaine702]

That’s EXACTLY what I see. Too goddamn close to trans colors. The perversion of America is happening

[DannyUk2017]

@Icaine702 exactly

[DannyUk2017]

@Icaine702 and not just in America UK is Full of them...

[Icaine702]

It’s a damn shame brother

[DannyUk2017]

@Icaine702 it is indeed! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[CassandraSpender]

Like you said, you're not American so I don't see how your opinion matters here

[DannyUk2017]

Really? Because Has INFECTED ALL THE WORLD! Simple as that, you don't like my comment jog on...

[EmmaMary]

@purplepoppy

Well thankfully I'm not American... However this certainly seems to be promoting all the usual American bollox with their countless numbers of different absurd movements.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you so much for the MHO.

[Sirenboobzilla]

This is gonna be a no for me. Granted, I do love the idea of inclusion. But this design isn't doing it for me.

[RetroReviews]

No I'm going to say stay classic the moment you start doing that you are like having an identity crisis it's like me who you are. And we are the red white and blue. I see what they're going for trying to appeal to the woke crowd but I guess they still don't realize that woke crowd is a small percentage of the population.

[AviatorTom]

Nope, too hard to make... will be too expensive. ... and the colors will bleach inconsistently in the sun.

[DrPepper12]

It's been appropriated for many many purposes and ideologies. It IS seen unfavourably around the world for a variety of reasons. I don't really care but tbh I think this is sus cuz it violates USA flag code laws.

[CassandraSpender]

Those laws have been deemed by SCOTUS to be in violation of the First Amendment and are therefore null.

[DrPepper12]

@CassandraSpender true but international sporting events, under the auspices of the federal government not "private" sporting events are considered "diplomatic missions" and as such the original flag must be displayed.

[JacobJordan]

Nope. Red white and blue only. Don't like it? Find a new country then

[FenixG45]

AGREED!

[CassandraSpender]

Yeah... my people were here first so "go back to where you came from" doesn't work quite the same way with folks like me... that said, dissention is the highest form of patriotism, this country was founded on dissention

[JacobJordan]

@CassandraSpender ownership is about control. Whoever controls an object or location owns it. LGBT pervs don't control America and never will

[CassandraSpender]

Remember that in about 10 years

[molonski2]

I'm just reading the answers and having a laugh

" This new flag " " I only recognise one flag " ..
It really is ironic , but amusing.

[BoyfriendxMaterial]

The flag is a representation our history and where we came from. Other country’s don’t think the design of our flag is ‘aggressive or imperialistic’ they might think the country it’s representing is. I personally really don’t like this new flag. It has no symbolic meaning to America, it only serves as a symbol for woke ideology.

[Anonymous]

That shows how much you British wankers know. The REAL new American flag:

[OtterMan68]

Trump would absolutely be OK with putting his image on the flag!

[Sirenboobzilla]

I wouldn't be surprised to see that flag when driving through certain areas

[sawno]

I'm done with this whole forced propeganda. But hopefully we get more laughs when the woke athletes refuse to stand for their countries.

[KostasKouvalis]

I think this one is a more accurate representation of America...

[FenixG45]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!😂

[sawno]

Nice one xD

[OtterMan68]

where did you get the information that this will be used to represent the US at international sporting events?

Or are you trolling gullible MAGA types to see if they fall for this like they fell for Biden moving Easter to April 1!

[Olgamasha]

I hope that US returns to normal one day. I’m praying for the Americans.

[dustybiker2]

Looks like the design team was digging around in the junk box of decades past.

[Rangers]

No, this flag needs to come back

[Sirenboobzilla]

Why sport the losing flag?

[Rangers]

Because those men fought until their death when outnumbered 4 to 1, surrounded, blockaded, and outmatched

They were brave men who fought for their families, and I admire that

[OtterMan68]

The flag of losers

[purplepoppy]

That was a long time ago, isn't it time to move on?

[OtterMan68]

so they were brave, but not smart. They started a war they could not win.

[Rangers]

Yes, it was a war that was unwinnable, yet they fought until they weren't eating a single thing for months at a time, they fought and let out the awful rebel yell that froze the blood of ther enemies as they charged towards the cannons and crushed their heads with rifle butts

They deserve my admiration and respect

[Sirenboobzilla]

What people fight for needs to be taken into account. They fought for independence from the union, sure. Buuuut the independent institution they were fighting for just so happens to be an institution of slavery.

By the description you gave it could be argued that the nazis deserve respect.

[OtterMan68]

no more than a man who would ram his head into a brick wall so his wealthy neighbors could own slaves

[Rangers]

The Nazis fought to continue genocide against the Jews

To say that the civil war was only fought for slavery is incredibly short sighted. 4 states in the union had slavery, Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland. Slavery remained legal in all of those states, and in all union occupied southern states throughout the war.

When hostile forces come to burn ones house down, take all of their animals, and kill them if they even show the slightest bit of defiance led millions of brave young men to fight for their families, fight for dixie, whether they cared for slavery or not.

And those union sons of bitches didn't care about slavery, either, they put slaves to work for the union when they captured territory, and committed mass rape, murder, and looting throughout the war

[OtterMan68]

have you ever read the secession statements of South Carolina and Texas? Read some of the editorials of southern newspapers in the lead up to the war.
The South said any white union officers leading blacks into battle would be executed, and any captured black union soldiers would be sold into slavery.
Not one free state joined the Confederacy

[Rangers]

Of course I've read it, and I disagree with the reasons for secession.

But the average confederate had no control over that, all they knew was that some hostile soldiers were coming down there to burn, rape, and murder everything they knew, whether they owned slaves or not.

They took up arms and fought until the bitter end, that's admirable

[OtterMan68]

Sherman did not do that at the beginning of the war. That was later, so any soldiers who signed up before Sherma's march did not sign up to protect his family and farm

[Rangers]

And they murdered and raped hundreds of thousands of people who were innocent people, and Lincoln did nothing about it

[Siri137]

The flag those people have now is boring, so yes, let's replace it with this one :)

[Red_Arrow]

No but it is better than what Trump is planning for a new flag if he is elected.

[FenixG45]

What is he planning?

[SolitarySolace]

Too divisive. It adheres to leftist social orthodoxy, so no, I do not like th "new American flag." Strongly dissaprove.

[CassandraSpender]

Not saying I like that flag... at all... but "leftist social orthidoxy"? Ha! You obviously haven't spent too much time around people actually on the left! I'm on the left and let me tell you, we can't agree on sh! t... I mean, personally I LOATHE what the right pushes, but I've got to give it to you guys, even as the minority at least you can organize well enough to push the same message (albeit BS) and make things happen. Even if I think those things are inherently unethical, at least you guys can organize well enough to execute those things... I WISH the left had HALF of the group think the right does, then maybe we might actually be effective... and don't get me started on the LGBTAlphabet Soup crowd! Trust me, the "Gay Agenda" is a boogeyman you guys made up, we can't even get everyone on the same page, let alone set an agenda!

[SolitarySolace]

Wokeness = leftist social orthodoxy

[CassandraSpender]

Define woke

[SolitarySolace]

I just did

[CassandraSpender]

Then define leftist social orthodoxy

[SolitarySolace]

Leftist ideology

[DextroShade]

That flag is an abomination that should be burned just like full pride flag, trans flag, and all the other f***** flags!

[Kelly6]

@purplepoppy totally fits their politics 🤣🤣

[Alex-Snow]

It is colorful... first time I saw this image.. not bad

[Staximus]

Nobody is going to use that libtard bullshit

[sawno]

Of course they will, it wiill be used in all the official promotional material.
