This is shaping up to be the thing right wing nuts get outraged about this upcoming week. I feel like this is a good litmus test… anyone who gets angry about this is probably way more of a white nationalist than they are letting on. You think these same people who be angry about a blue/white/orange tricolor, saying it’s too close to the Dutch flag?

    Yeah, that first one is classic US state flag design, incomprehensible and fails at everything a flag is supposed to do. The new one works quite well as a flag.

      I think the new one is… fine. An improvement. But it’s still more of just stars and tricolors.

        Yeah, it's functional, that's how I'd describe it. If it were a country's flag I would not be able to remember which country 5 minutes after I saw it.

          Meaning three bars arranged either horizontally or vertically, like most euro flags.

            Yeah Palestine's flag and the Sahrawi flag are both tricolors despite having a similar triangle of a different color on one side. Same reason the Philippines is bicolor despite its triangle
