Lutha Mahtin posted:the symbolism is that minnesota is the headwaters of the Mississippi river, which is an extremely important body of water throughout the history of this land. i don't know if i like that flag overall but its symbolism of the Mississippi and the Northern Lights is spot on We've already got other states stealing the valour of our fair* river, including one that stole its dang name. My apartment is within my flabby goon arm's throw of the river. My daughters were born in a room with a view of the river. Minnesota can stick to the north star and maybe like, a drunk nordic-looking guy punching a wisconsinite or canadian about sports opinions. *it's actually pretty nasty, but gosh darn it, bless your heart, it's ours

I thought that Edgar Allen Ho lived in Texas and/or Kazakhstan, so I’m considering which one has a better claim to the Mississippi. I think that it’s actually Louisiana.

Minnesota is also looking to redesign its seal, and only one of the finalists is any good. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-lifestyle/see-the-five-finalists-for-minnesotas-new-state-seal The North Star seems like a weird obsession because there's 7 other states about as north and 2 further north.

Alaska, and you’ve lost me. I’d say that it’s geographic centers, but in that case Minnesota is beaten not only by Alaska and North Dakota, but also Washington and Montana.

Accusing the Ulster protestants of not being really Irish is a bit of catholic nationalist cope. A lot of social groups just went along with the Church of Ireland. Twat them for trusting English politics to serve their interests.

Twat them for trusting English politics to serve their interests. Regardless of whether or not a small minority among them might descend from converts, none of the people flying these flags in 2023 would ever identify as Irish, so I'm not sure what your point is. Anyway, not really the thread for this. I guess I started it with that offhand remark, but I genuinely was not expecting pushback lol ChubbyChecker posted:eh, that crown is really frilly and not austere It's what happens when you allow Anglicans on the flag design committee

The Swedes and the various separatist "countries" can gently caress right off too, God gave Denmark the flag, all the others are just rip-offs. Also I'm pretty sure the white represents god's truth or whatever, and the red represents the blood of the Estonians we were

Furthermore, the Danish flag is a much better inspiration for desserts.

The Swedish flag has a friendly, sunny disposition, only slightly beaten there by Palau. Denmark’s is fine but it doesn’t cheer me up or anything
