      What important moment in US history was that flag symbolizing? smuglord

      Also Western politicians did start allying with Southern politicians during the Civil Rights Era. It’s not a coincidence that some specific moments were recognized.

            If you can’t make your point without resorting to insincere sarcasm, then you never had a point to begin with.

              If you can’t rebut a point without resorting to insincere debate pervert tone policing, then you never had a rebuttal to begin with.

          Where’s the union jack then?

          You have to contort yourself like an absolute fool to believe the argument you’re making.

            The Union Jack appears as the canton of the “Grand Union Flag”.

        Also flown are the pre-statehood flags of the Republic of Texas and the California Republic, as well as US flags that predate the present Constitution.

      Yeah, and America has been harassing the middle east since at least 1964. That doesn’t make it a good thing

      And the moment it was torn down is now also an important moment in US history.

      americans will complain about pride flags and then have a pdf ready to go showing dozens of flags symbolizing their evil empire

      there’s no such thing as States, these are all just MeNtAl DiSoRdErS lol

      🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

      you must understand how your comment comes across comrade, it’s not great. I’ve enjoyed reading about the different flags though, so thank you for that at least.

      the Moultrie Flag is pretty cool, interesting I’ve never seen that one when people start defending slavery talking about southern heritage

        “States” are such bullshit. “Oh, it’s not the USA doing it, It’s Dipshitska, which is part of the United States except when it wants to do something bad then our hands are tied! So sad!”
