Holy poo poo that is incredible and apparently real. e: I went to split about 10 year ago and didn't see this abomination, I'm assuming this is a recent invention?

 This is the old one apparently, which sucks, but looks amazing compared to that piece of garbage

I don't even think their previous flag was particularly bad. Maybe a bit too detailed, too difficult to quickly draw from memory, but many flags have that particular flaw (notoriously including the Flemish one). The old Split flag actually vaguely reminds me of the Mongolian one.

I did not know there was a flag thread, but there is, so here this is. Enjoy a graph of flags!

I was watching a video talking about a city in Catalonia, and I saw something that looked like an unwell Puerto Rican flag.

The Canadian truckers seem to be co-opting Australian flags. Both the Red Ensign and the Eureka Stockade flag (Southern Cross, Cross of the South) seem to be rightwing symbols now. tough stains fucked around with this message at 12:25 on Feb 9, 2022 |

The old Canadian Red Ensign was already a symbol among weirdo Empire Loyalists so that one figures.

I've been wondering whether far-right groups are just more flag-happy in general. Like sure they've got the dedicated nationalists waving the flag of their country, but since they do so much with their normal flag, they start making weird variants to make more of a point (and they make flags instead of just a sign like a normal protestor would). And then since there's all those nationalists around, they start feeling comfortable just bringing in other countries' flags without worries of seeming disloyal to their nation by openly displaying loyalty to another nation. Very weird. And sometimes they bring variant flags of other countries to make more of a point, like this flag that was spotted at an australian rally.  Which is the flag from when Croatia nazi puppet state. As opposed to the normal Croatian flag which is just a coat of arms on a tricolor without the U on it.  Kinda seems like something a US state would have.

Is turning the australian star into a Magen David a thing, or is that just image compression? There's two in the one photo so it's gotta be deliberate I think?

Prior to 1908 the Commonwealth Star only had 6 points, and the Red Ensign was more popular pre-1950s, so chances are it's them grabbing prints of old flags from the 1901 flag competition. Either that or it's British Israelism poo poo.

There are definitely some "out there" variant leftist flags like this one, which modifies the Castilian nationalist flag, which itself is an invented modification of the actual flag of Castile that was ostensibly used in the Comunero revolt of 1520-1 although it has its actual roots in flags used by liberals in the nineteenth century:

A podcast I listen to (It's one of those a bunch of idiots shooting the poo poo kinds of podcasts if you're interested, maybe weirder than most) recently posed the question of what country would you live in if you only knew the flag. This is what they chose.    So now I ask you thread, what country would you live in going by just the flag alone?

How did that segment work in an audio-only podcast? Describing them for the audience must have been kinda awkward.

I mean, Angola obviously. Also Nepal because it's weirdly shaped. Europe would be competent depopulated on account of every European flag being boring as poo poo. Except Denmark would get Christian nutjobs. But what's the whale flag? Just a Wales pun?

Meaningful without being overly specific -- that might be a mountain, an iceberg, or one of those wind-sculpted ice pyramids, all of which are to be found in Antarctica. And it even obeys the heraldic rule of tincture. I approve.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Is it that much worse than Europe's "different colours same shape" tricolour trend? I don't think anyone is defending that. And also the "red white and blue" being used to signal national identity in a bunch of countries. I kinda like the pan-whatever colour schemes for the way they signal that the countries belong together and have some sort of common identity, but they absolutely make it hard to remember which is which.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Europe only has the Netherlands/Russia and Hungary/Bulgaria falling into that category. A bit silly to include the flag of Sao Tome and Principe though, if it's too similar to the flag of Mali then all the stripey red, blue, white flags of Europe count as basically the same too.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Is it that much worse than Europe's "different colours same shape" tricolour trend? it actually is when you look at all of Europe's flags. It's much easier to differentiate colors than shapes imo I've never had an issue with the Scandinavian flags even though they all have the same pattern
