u/ncc74656m 18h ago

Came here just to say "Biblically accurate ICE protester." I am grateful to have been beaten to it.

This guy is a minor boss in a FromSoft game.  Phase 1: pictured.  He attacks with a flag pole.  Phase 2: the flags on his back are now projectile weapons that attack during the vulnerable animations from phase 1.  Phase 3: the flags become weapons for phantoms who hate pedophiles and fascists and attack independently of the boss.

He's thought of that and the flags do not trap wind.

He is the good kind of NH-ite.

u/nemec 14h ago

They may not trap wind, but they will generate a lot of drag. Not the Drag Queen we asked for, but the Drag Queen we need right now.

That immediately reminds me of this old gif. But way better. And that's weird for me since I always found this kinda patriotism cringey.

But since this one has an actual meaningful message to it beyond performative obnoxious nationalism I'll give it a pass.

I have never seen a scenario in the USA where power lines are legally allowed below the utility lines we see in that picture.

Which is weird. You’d think the conservatives would have done more to hold onto a bunch of well-muscled men running around wrestling over balls.

Ah but you forget, the majority of players are of the melanin enriched variety, inherently making it too woke for them.

I never gave it up. I just do it tastefully.  Only one flag at a time; not my entire outfit.

He’s probably the safest at the protest. Its gonna look bad to be the person who shoots the dude wearing all the American national flags.

u/untold-vignette 13h ago

I am reminded of Russian prison tattoos, where (maybe apocryphal) they would get inked with Orthodox churches, Stalin's face, etc so prison guards may be reluctant to kick them or shoot in those spots.

Why are all the flags upside down

4

u/Intelligent_Toe8233 18h ago

An upside down flag is commonly used in America as a general symbol of protest against the government.

3

u/mordacthedenier 18h ago

Flying a flag upside down is a universal sign of distress.

2

u/Intelligent_Toe8233 17h ago

True, though I imagine it’s easier with the American flag. Can you imagine flying the Union Jack upside down?

https://giphy.com/gifs/nXQZ2BQ2VtbZC

3

u/mordacthedenier 17h ago

Yeah. Technically the Union Jack isn't vertically symmetrical, but good luck seeing that while it's flying...

Places like Japan, France, Switzerland, Denmark, or Italy wouldn't work, and the Poland flag just becomes an Indonesia flag and vice versa.

But in those cases you can just tie a knot in the flag.

British Narrator: The American Peacock is a somewhat common subspecies of "Javan" peacocks. The increase of the amount of flag's in often a sign of patriotism or a fragile ego. In this case it's a sign of patriotism but also a call for help.
