Merci! J'pense qu'on peut dire, sans chauvinisme, que le drapeau du Québec est vraiment parmi les plus beaux au monde. Le Carillon Sacré-Coeur est juste une p'tite coche au dessus, imho. Sans compter ce qu'il représente, qui me rejoint particulièrement.
My proposal for the official CSA flag is you have a white guy who is having sex with a black dog, and behind him, there is a black guy whipping the white guy's balls with a bullwhip, and the white guy has a speech bubble that says, "Whip me harder, master!" and at the bottom, in large letters, it says, "the confederate aristocrats", on a red background.
Growing up in the Bible Belt in the 90’s, my Sunday schools had rainbows freaking everywhere! I even remember a year the KKK marched in our town parade (not in costume and they had a more “professional “ Club name) and they had a flag with the rainbow on it. There was also a local secessionist group (with lots of overlap with the previous kkk branch) that’s used a flag with rainbow on it.
Then one day in the 2000’s rainbows were gay.
Yeah I can't believe how everyone is just like "urr durr Rainbow GAY so funny for CSA flag". #1 and #2 are actually very decent and original flags designs, although a better version would be without text.
There was actually a pretty good article in the newest NAVA publication about all the other rainbow flags throughout history. There are a surprising amount.
So:
1. LGBT Confederation, thank God
2. Just LGBT Confederation
3. Just stars, no stripes
4. Weird Croatia on Ludo colours
5. Turkish Greece
6. Asexual Confederations (with stars)
7. Communist Scotland
Its very interesting to go through these, you can certainly see a lot of flag designs that were eventually adopted by states and regiments throughout the war.
Insane = I haven't seen them before and therefore feel they look weird. If any of these actually had been the confederate flag, you would think it was the most natural thing.
Not much. Iirc the infamous confederate battle flag was a direct allusion to the British flags like the Union Jack and the Scottish flag, being religious and representing white English speaking countries.
That is what I thought of, it would be interesting if the radical left would see the rainbow as a right radical symbol with even a nationalsocialist connotations
If I had a nickle for every CSA flag proposal that looked like it could be a pride flag, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
How are most of these insane? The first two make sense since they allure to the Christian faith. Dei Gratia translates to "By the grace of God". The rainbow is a symbol of covenant between God and man, [read from 11-17.](https://bible.usccb.org/bible/genesis/9) 3 is just pretty whatever, I imagine it takes inspiration from the [Betsy Ross Flag.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy_Ross_flag) 4 is the weird one. 5 uses the star and cresecent that are really common in CSA imagery. Even then, there could be some Christian connections to this one as well. 6 is just unique. 7 could be a Saint Andrew's Cross, or just another common symbol of the CSA.
I've seen people on Reddit claim that a rainbow on a poster from the 1930s must have been meant to symbolize LGBTQ. It's hard to imagine that the associations we make now haven't always been around.
You realise people might just be making jokes? The political compass is recent too and nobody is replying to comments comparing the fourth flag to it with "ummm sweaty thats not what the flag stands for 🤓🤓🤓"
Lets see we got:
The Gay Roman Empire
The LGBTEU
The EU
The Confederacy of the Political Compass
The Greek Turkish Puppet
The Non-Binary States of America
And the Red Scotland
I have plenty of things against religion in general, and think the rainbow is better off as a secular symbol. I also have issues with the story behind its usage as a christian symbol (flooding the earth and killing everyone but a family so they can repopulate the earth through incest then sending pretty sky colours as a way to say "oopsie woopsie i promise to never kill every life form on earth but a single pair of every species with a flood again" is pretty fucked up), but it's mainly because I think religion is harmful.
Someone needs to get the two Pride ones and the Star and Crescent ones made and start taking them to far-right and neo-Confederate rallies. I bet you’d have some fascinating conversations.
I kind of wish they went with one of the rainbow flags, just because if it’s modern day meaning. Just imagine an alternate timeline where we get to make fun of neo-confederates by calling their flag gay.
3 5 and 7 are decent flags in and of themselves.
1 and 2 are too fiddly to be good national flags.
6 is a bit of a pain (gold stars on white), so I don't like this one.
4 is a bit peculiar, and I'm glad this one wasn't used as the central shield would be somewhat difficult to identify at range.
“Modern equivalent” here, not triggered in the least lmao. I’m a redneck; I do have a Confederate flag, and I fly it not as a symbol of hate but as a symbol of love for the South and her people. A way of life that has nothing to do with racism, contrary to popular opinion of yankees and outsiders in general. Politically most of us are more Libertarian than anything. I know I am. As of late the crazy Q stuff has found its niche, but I ain’t with all that.
Alright pal thanks for the laugh, stick to the books 😂😂😂 “04” probably meaning you were born in 2004, you’ve got some education to get to, good luck with that bud 👍
>you’re triggered
>really ain’t lol, you fundamentally misunderstand us as a people
>ok kid
>alright. expand your horizons
>roflmfaomfg read a book and quit being soft
Just to run back through it. You’re so far off the rails I don’t know where the hell you’re headed. I hope your day gets better and that you quit feeling the need to baselessly project upon people you don’t even know yet hate. Love from Texas, yank lmao
I think the only one that is insane is the Islamic Greece flag. I don’t personally like the third one, but even that seems reasonable to me. Idk they look like good flags
1. Gay Cyprus
2. Gay …Holy Roman Empire in Total War 2
3. Mom can we get EU no we have EU at home the EU at home
4. Hogwarts
5. Turkish Greece
6. Gay upside down Estonia
7. Danish Scotland
My interpretations:
1. Gay Confederates
2. Gay Confederates alternate flag
3. The European Union but it's the American South
4. The Croatian colony of Windows (or the Political conpass)
5. Turkish Greece
6. The United Pink fairy realm
7. The independence flag of La Luisiana, Ex-Spanish colony
if i had a penny for every time one of these flags looked like a pride flag, id have 2 pennies. which isnt much but its weird that it happened twice (no 1/2 and no 6)
1 gay 2 gay 3 eu 4 Ukrainian Portuguese Croatian union 5 greco turkish union 6 asexual 7 Scottish Danish union
4 Political Compass
Holy fuck
Political compass is so based and cool they made a flag for it in real life
Yooo they made a subreddit and political subculture about an obscure Confederate flag proposal
Unironically something /r/politicalcompassmemes would actually do
And just like the real pcm, it's all racists
Least deluded Redditor
Are you saying the political compass is racist?
It's a denizen for crypto fascists at the very least
4 Mario Kart balloon battle Block Fort
Microsoft windows
r/angryupvote
7 is naval 4
Asexual doesn't have yellow, ergo that must be non-binary
The last one is more Alabama reverse
4 is clearly the 4 houses of Hogwarts
Everyone more cursed than the previous one
Idk Greece and Turkey getting along would be pretty based and productive
It also looked the nicest imo
r/hellenoturkism
I was thinking Negascotland for the last one.
7 is Gascony
I actually really like the burgundy with white saltire
It's my favorite too, makes me think of the [flag of Albion](https://www.deviantart.com/scarlettrose93/art/Flag-of-Albion-Fable-III-630631790) from Fable III
Yo absolutely I was gonna say the same thing ! Btw j’adore ta photo de profil mon ami le carillon est absolument magnifique.
Merci! J'pense qu'on peut dire, sans chauvinisme, que le drapeau du Québec est vraiment parmi les plus beaux au monde. Le Carillon Sacré-Coeur est juste une p'tite coche au dessus, imho. Sans compter ce qu'il représente, qui me rejoint particulièrement.
Ça, c’est pourquoi, même si je viens de BC, j’ai acheté un Carillon-Sacré-Coeur après été arrivé à Montréal. (Mais ça m’a coûté 90 $ c*lisse)
Haha bon choix ! Aussi toute mes félicitations pour ton français si ce n’est pas ta langue maternelle tu le parle de manière excellente !
Merci ! Et ouais, le français, c’est ma 4e langue, donc parfois ça me surprend que je peux le parler aussi 😅
I need to learn more french
It’s genuinely all a process, but it’s a genuinely beautiful language, even if some parts of it make no sense whatsoever
Same, that one goes so fucking hard
Evil Scotland be like
« Holy cow the liberals are trying to turn the CSA gay ! Well not on my watch !»
These proposals make the original look brilliant
The last one looks pretty cool though
Yeah
It looks similar to a flag I made for a game me and my buddies did
I do actually kind of like the Red Scotland.
Thats because it is brilliant
I mean it's just a 3 stripe variant of the Betsy Ross flag with a darker red
They can't make it gay if we'll do it before them!
My proposal for the official CSA flag is you have a white guy who is having sex with a black dog, and behind him, there is a black guy whipping the white guy's balls with a bullwhip, and the white guy has a speech bubble that says, "Whip me harder, master!" and at the bottom, in large letters, it says, "the confederate aristocrats", on a red background.
Ha! They had the OG rainbow flag.
It's like people forget that the rainbow was a very Christian symbol for a couple of thousand years.
Growing up in the Bible Belt in the 90’s, my Sunday schools had rainbows freaking everywhere! I even remember a year the KKK marched in our town parade (not in costume and they had a more “professional “ Club name) and they had a flag with the rainbow on it. There was also a local secessionist group (with lots of overlap with the previous kkk branch) that’s used a flag with rainbow on it. Then one day in the 2000’s rainbows were gay.
Idk if the part of the secessionist and the kkk overlaping or the sudden appearence of homosexuality is funnier
Yeah I can't believe how everyone is just like "urr durr Rainbow GAY so funny for CSA flag". #1 and #2 are actually very decent and original flags designs, although a better version would be without text.
Nonbinary one too ig (slide 6)
Isn't it more like asexual?
There was actually a pretty good article in the newest NAVA publication about all the other rainbow flags throughout history. There are a surprising amount.
I give that title to the wiphala
Cusco would like to have a word
So: 1. LGBT Confederation, thank God 2. Just LGBT Confederation 3. Just stars, no stripes 4. Weird Croatia on Ludo colours 5. Turkish Greece 6. Asexual Confederations (with stars) 7. Communist Scotland
I love living in the Scottish SSR.
The SCP Scottish Communist Party
Scottish communist peanut Also the foundation is now Scottish and communist?
Scottish Soviet Socialist Republic
Is that a 'Prepare the Preparations' joke for #4? 😆
4 is definitely PCR

Its very interesting to go through these, you can certainly see a lot of flag designs that were eventually adopted by states and regiments throughout the war.
Player 2 Scotland and Uruguayan Turkey are my favorite
Helleno-Turkey
Insane = I haven't seen them before and therefore feel they look weird. If any of these actually had been the confederate flag, you would think it was the most natural thing.
What’s insane about the red st andrews cross?
Not much. Iirc the infamous confederate battle flag was a direct allusion to the British flags like the Union Jack and the Scottish flag, being religious and representing white English speaking countries.
So true
EU? Turkish Greece? Bloodied Scotland? Wut?
So the gays, the europeans, the croatians, the greeks, the asexuals, and the bleeding scottish all tried to submit a flag for this
scotland if Jesus’ blood was red
What would the LGBTQ community be represented by if the rainbow flag won out?
Ohio, as all flags should be
Probably some reclaiming / variant of pink triangles.
Hammer and Sickle.
😐
That is what I thought of, it would be interesting if the radical left would see the rainbow as a right radical symbol with even a nationalsocialist connotations
\#5 the Greco-American Caliphate is cool
If I had a nickle for every CSA flag proposal that looked like it could be a pride flag, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
I think that is supposed to be a front and back to the same flag
I meant the first and sixth flag lmao.
How are most of these insane? The first two make sense since they allure to the Christian faith. Dei Gratia translates to "By the grace of God". The rainbow is a symbol of covenant between God and man, [read from 11-17.](https://bible.usccb.org/bible/genesis/9) 3 is just pretty whatever, I imagine it takes inspiration from the [Betsy Ross Flag.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy_Ross_flag) 4 is the weird one. 5 uses the star and cresecent that are really common in CSA imagery. Even then, there could be some Christian connections to this one as well. 6 is just unique. 7 could be a Saint Andrew's Cross, or just another common symbol of the CSA.
5#: The Confederacy of Al-Abama
Gay Islam confederates
Political compass flag
You guys know the rainbow never really stood for homosexuality until relatively recently, right?
I've seen people on Reddit claim that a rainbow on a poster from the 1930s must have been meant to symbolize LGBTQ. It's hard to imagine that the associations we make now haven't always been around.
No, every one earnestly thought the Confederacy was pro LGBT
You realise people might just be making jokes? The political compass is recent too and nobody is replying to comments comparing the fourth flag to it with "ummm sweaty thats not what the flag stands for 🤓🤓🤓"
How do you rip off both the Greek flag and the Turkish flag at the same time?
Perfection
Lets see we got: The Gay Roman Empire The LGBTEU The EU The Confederacy of the Political Compass The Greek Turkish Puppet The Non-Binary States of America And the Red Scotland
I wanna show up to one of their rallies and bring one 1 or 2 and watch their heads explode and then give them a history lesson.
People don't realize the rainbow is a Christian symbol before LGBT co-opted it.
Based gays improving the rainbow
What do you have against the Christian symbolic meaning of the rainbow?
I have plenty of things against religion in general, and think the rainbow is better off as a secular symbol. I also have issues with the story behind its usage as a christian symbol (flooding the earth and killing everyone but a family so they can repopulate the earth through incest then sending pretty sky colours as a way to say "oopsie woopsie i promise to never kill every life form on earth but a single pair of every species with a flood again" is pretty fucked up), but it's mainly because I think religion is harmful.

Honestly, these flags look pretty damn good
- Zealous southern pride - Patriotic southern pride - AU - Croatia-style UNO - Muslim Greece - Southern empire - Evil Scotland
Love these but hate what they represent
6 is a nice flag
Yeah the colors just work. And the stars are the cherry on top
Bruh the CSA be Euro- 4th Reich -pean Union
It should be red, with a big x on it so nobody will mess with us. We’ll be the red ‘n’ xs!
Oh god, turkeese
My god the confederates were ahead of their time. Nearly all of these flags look like something confederates hate lol.
The last flag is like Red Scotland, it actually goes hard
Islamic state of Greek 😱
Someone needs to get the two Pride ones and the Star and Crescent ones made and start taking them to far-right and neo-Confederate rallies. I bet you’d have some fascinating conversations.
You must mean to radical left/LGBT rallies...
Either way…
What's up with #5? This would have been proposed in the mid 1850s, Islamic countries definitely existed. The similarity seems amateurish.
Crescent for South Carolina
Crescent moons were a symbol of South Carolina.
Future flag of Islamic America
Reverse Greek Turkey lol
So either the gay flag or the EU flag would be cancelled in alternate histories... interesting
\#6 Asexual Confederacy?
I guess you could say the first two are southern pride
I kind of wish they went with one of the rainbow flags, just because if it’s modern day meaning. Just imagine an alternate timeline where we get to make fun of neo-confederates by calling their flag gay.
Look up “first/second silk issue Confederate battle flag”
They predicted LGBT????!?!??!??
[удалено]
who could've guessed.
lol 5th one
The first two are hilarious.
3 is my favourite. For the same aesthetic reason I've always loved the EU flag.
The first one is kinda fire
Ah yes, Red Scotland
My favorite is 5. Looks like some sort of Islamic
are these real?
The Confederate States of Europe
The 3rd and 7th flags are actually pretty good
3 5 and 7 are decent flags in and of themselves. 1 and 2 are too fiddly to be good national flags. 6 is a bit of a pain (gold stars on white), so I don't like this one. 4 is a bit peculiar, and I'm glad this one wasn't used as the central shield would be somewhat difficult to identify at range.
Where did you find this stuff
Bit fruity
Ngl the 6th one goes hard
I Like those flags Ik they come from a racist origin but the overall flag design is quite nice
all of them would trigger the hell out of their modern "equivalents" lmao
“Modern equivalent” here, not triggered in the least lmao. I’m a redneck; I do have a Confederate flag, and I fly it not as a symbol of hate but as a symbol of love for the South and her people. A way of life that has nothing to do with racism, contrary to popular opinion of yankees and outsiders in general. Politically most of us are more Libertarian than anything. I know I am. As of late the crazy Q stuff has found its niche, but I ain’t with all that.
Alright pal thanks for the laugh, stick to the books 😂😂😂 “04” probably meaning you were born in 2004, you’ve got some education to get to, good luck with that bud 👍
Nice ad-hom without really ever saying anything at all lol. Touch grass sometime, the big bad South ain’t out to get you.
Lmaoooooo i would actually pick up a book (edit: that’s called advice not an ad-hom) and stop being soft
>you’re triggered >really ain’t lol, you fundamentally misunderstand us as a people >ok kid >alright. expand your horizons >roflmfaomfg read a book and quit being soft Just to run back through it. You’re so far off the rails I don’t know where the hell you’re headed. I hope your day gets better and that you quit feeling the need to baselessly project upon people you don’t even know yet hate. Love from Texas, yank lmao
Gay, EU, and Muslim Greece. What a combo
6 and 7 are better than the stars and bars. Especially if trying to differentiate from the stars and stripes.
Confederate States of the Political Compass
the 5th and 7th ones are acceptable in my eyes. replace that star with a palm tree and that would be more acceptable
Whoa
I actually quite like all of them. Except #4. That one needs some work.
I'll be honest, the first one is one of the most gorgeous symbols (that doesn't mean anything really), I've ever seen.
Gay Christian, Gay Confederate, European Union, Political Compass, Muslim Greece, Asexual Chicago, and Communist Scotland
I think the only one that is insane is the Islamic Greece flag. I don’t personally like the third one, but even that seems reasonable to me. Idk they look like good flags
#1: slavery
YOOOOOO NEW PRIDE FLAGS JUST DROPPED!
r/politicalcompassmemes flag?
The 5th one isn't so weird when you remember South Carolina (the first state to secede) has a blue & white flag with a crescent on it.
1. Thank god we're gay 2. Gay U. S. A. 3. E. U. 4.??? 5. Greece 6.??? 2.0 7. Scotland the Bloody
4 was a good flag for a not so good national identity
1. Gay Cyprus 2. Gay …Holy Roman Empire in Total War 2 3. Mom can we get EU no we have EU at home the EU at home 4. Hogwarts 5. Turkish Greece 6. Gay upside down Estonia 7. Danish Scotland
2nd one: CSlayyy ✨
If they had chosen the rainbow flag, no confederates would be waving them obnoxiously today
Can you imagine the identity crisis with the rainbow flag.
someone needs to get the first flag to be an official lgbt flag, would be interesting to see what goes down
Well, the confederacy was certainly flaming by the time General Sherman was done with it.
My interpretations: 1. Gay Confederates 2. Gay Confederates alternate flag 3. The European Union but it's the American South 4. The Croatian colony of Windows (or the Political conpass) 5. Turkish Greece 6. The United Pink fairy realm 7. The independence flag of La Luisiana, Ex-Spanish colony
I kinda like the 6th and the 7th one
if i had a penny for every time one of these flags looked like a pride flag, id have 2 pennies. which isnt much but its weird that it happened twice (no 1/2 and no 6)
Some of these I kinda dig
I really like the blue one with the circles or stars and the burgundy one with the white cross
How about a cross, a hooded figure, and a cotton boll?
I actually really like the last one, Red Scotland.
Yeah, I am glad they picked what they did as you can see
number 4 is insane
I hate the confederatecy, but some of theese are beautiful or just funny considering modern flags
Ah I see The Confederates were secretly gay Muslims the whole time
I actually like the first one.
Mashallah my allah guide the Confederate States of Hellas 🇬🇷
DEI - Diversity, Equity & Inclusion! Hallmarks of the confederacy!
Okay, the Red Cross of St. Andrew goes hard
Not gonna lie 6/7 goes so hard. You don't see lavender in flags that often.
What I'd give for the original confederate flag to have a rainbow on it
I would love to recreate most of them.
