So, I bought a house that just happens to have a flagpole. It was put in by the neighbor’s grandfather back when he owned the property like 60 years ago. I recently dug it up and painted it, replaced the hardware, etc. I’ve been flying the US flag to keep same Republican neighbor happy, but after this weekend’s events, that’s not happening any more.
So, I’ve been pondering what flag to fly instead. It doesn’t appear that my town has a flag, though my county and state do. I considered the United Federation of Planets flag, but it looks too much like the UN flag and I don’t need to hear John Birch from that same neighbor. Ditto the Earth flag.
Maybe the Jolly Roger? Anybody else have a fun flag they think I should fly instead?
Fly the flag of Quebec.
I don’t have a flagpole. I want to put one in, but my wife objects.
The reason she objects is because she thinks it will make us a target.
I want to fly a pride flag under the American flag. The point being that the American flag stands for all Americans, not just the Americans who agree with the current regime.
I’d probably change the lower flag from time to time, depending on events, time of year, or my mood.
The Rainbow Flag is always a good choice. I’d go for the NCR flag from Fallout; that’ll have the added benefit of confusing any uninitiated parties.
The Esperanto flag
Or if your goal is to piss your neighbor off
Bowser flag by night, Mushroom Kingdom by day, as Miyamoto intended.

The neighbor would probably get gunnin’ if they saw that
Remove the entire pole.
For some reason having a flag of any group / org always feels like an extreme radical support. To the point when it looks bad no matter what the flag is promoting.
I feel like this is due to flags providing too little information on your actual views and just screams “I love X”. In reality it’s always better to properly explain why do you actually like that and what parts of it aren’t that good. Because there is always something not that good. In a perfect world flags would work if they act as a conversation starter about your actual views and opinions. But in real world people don’t often ask those questions and just make assumptions.
I would actually make a flag that says “I love X. Let’s talk about why” to help ignite those conversations instead of making assumptions.
US flag upside down?
second this.

If not the UFP, maybe the Klingon Empire?
Or:
- A state flag, from a different state. New Mexico has the best one. Or if you live in New Mexico, Minnesota’s new one is pretty good.
- Any of the Our Flag Means Death flags. Or all of them.
- The flag of Antarctica
- A US Pride flag
- A red flag, or maybe a beige one
- New California Republic
- Debian swirl flag
- Church of the Subgenius
Rainbow, obviously. Or better yet, the rainbow above and “don’t tread on me” below.
Which are the major widely accepted/supported, progressive movements/orgs in USAmerica?
Maybe flags on that?Have heard that decent public healthcare has been a concern in USAmerica. Are there any good orgs/movement or flags on that?
Would that be good?
the soviet union flag
