Yeah it's just a mirror of popular posts, I think our comments here also just disappear into the void.
If I'm seeing the whole post (two flags), there's no chronic investigation needed to recognise at least the first one with just middle or high school history education.
I don't recognize it, and I grew up in the south.
Implying people in the American south get adequate middle school level history education
From a northern state and have never seen either.
I'm from Europe. I don't get them.
Fuck, really? The Spanish one might not have been so popular in textbooks, but the fasces was everywhere if you went through WWII and the Italian fascism.
Or maybe just basic understanding of history? Like, you know that this exact symbol is all over our the US Capitol building, right? Maybe you should know what it means...
Kind of a self-report.
What is it with people on the internet and slagging people off rather than explaining simple concepts?
I am not from the US or Europe, and have no familial links to any world war. The last time I took a history lesson was 20ish years ago. So you’ll have to forgive me if two obscure flags don’t immediately trigger understanding in me.
Could I Google it? Sure. Am I going to? Probably not. Does shutting down conversation and shitting on people for not having your life experience kill online communities? I guess we’ll see.
There is no need to be hostile toward someone who is clearly on our side. If they weren't they wouldn't mention the other abuses Walmart commits.
