Picture is my bookbag that I wore to the no kings day celebration in fort Walton Beach, Florida. There's little coverage of it so I thought it would worth blogging on the fediverse about it

Only a little offense but why use a foreign flag at a protest. Do you just want photos of burning cars carrying your flag in order for the fascist to fascist faster?

So true! Everyone knows that fascist ideology is both internally consistent and based on a kind and forgiving nature.

If the Jews, Communist, Gays etc just waved German flags the Nazis wouldn't have killed anyone!

Not sure what you're getting at besides purposely being wrong. How long would a nazi flag last in the middle of a trump rally or anything of the sort, not long at all. Having extreme expressive flags that triggers the others is nothing but clickbait. I would love if we could fly every flag in solidarity to one another. The right wish they could more openly fly the confederate flag, and the nazi one at all. But they get a lot of shit so they'll find any excuse to be unreasonable especially with flags. They say unpatriotic when they do the same.

When you start equating expressions of solidarity using a flag of another country with literal Nazi flags, you might need to reconsider how far down the nationalist/facsist pipeline you are yourself.

Also I didn't say people could or couldn't wave Nazi flags today.

I said the Nazi regime doesn't care what flag you wave, you won't win their sympathy and be spared/stop their actions by waving their flag.

Support for Palestine at a time when Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians and launched an unprovoked war on Iran is a good thing. Fascism will find excuses to target you anyways, the answer isn't to play ball, but to seek safety in numbers and organizing. Rallying around correct messaging is the point of protest, not just saying "we are mildly upset but don't want to actually do anythint!"
