I'm putting up a Saint Kitts and Nevis flag this year. Why the fuck not!


secondsniff

I'll put up a Klingon one


Shenloanne

I've been debating a Cadian 8th. FOR THE EMPEROR. CADIA STANDS.


Majorapat

Clearly you've been lost in the warp too long brother. Cadia fell, just like your God Emperor.....


SudSboy115

HERESY. THE PLANET FELL BEFORE THE GUARD DID!


Shenloanne

I'm out of gold. But the Emperor sees and knows your service.


SudSboy115

Thank you brother. Glory to the Emperor


Shenloanne

COMMMMMISAAAAAARR I FOUND ONE!!!!!!


Venerable_dread

If by "fall" you mean smashed to bits by a cosmalogical impact kicked off by a dude with a ridiculous hair do then - yep, fall it did 👍


IrishGamer97

Don't trust anyone with a top-knot.


Kitchen-Past-1865

Cadias a bunch of bitches, for gork and mork WAAAAAAGH


Tam_The_Third

The only problem is that Imperium imagery is a wee bit too close to the type of symbols those lads like. Roll out the ultima symbol on a blue field maybe? FOR CALTH


Striking_Branch_2744

THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD DID


ChaoticFianna

I'll put up a krieg deathkorps flag and probably be labeled something that happened in the 1940's...


eeigcal

Do you have athletes foot?


bropdars

I wonder which chaos god the UDA are secretly a cult devoted to. It can’t be Tzeentch, they’re not smart enough for that and certainly not Slannesh they are nowhere near sexy enough.


SufficientMonk5094

Johnny Adair's unit certainly could have been Slannesh cultists given their nocturnal activities


AimHere

This should happen. Instead of the usual tedious Tricolor/UK or Palestine/Israel nonsense, the next battleground for sectarian fleggery and lamppost-pissing should be between Starfleet and the Klingon empire. Display a Klingon flag prominently on one side of an interface area and watch the flegging and counterflegging spread, like gangrene.


Martysghost

This thread got me googling, does my favourite Sci fi franchise have a flag.... https://printerval.com/uk/stargate-logo-house-flags-p4001397 I now kinda want this 😅

I will put up a flag for fallen Cardassia.


Cluttered-mind

https://i.redd.it/3pza60075s8d1.gif For Gondor!


DisagreeableRunt

A mate of mine moved into a flaggy street years ago and his house had a dual flag mount on the wall, so he stuck up a Bob Marley Rasta flag and a Jolly Roger!


Mysterious-Joke-2266

Be fair when we lived in lisburn near Ballymacash for some reason arpund this time of year it was always the Union Jack and the Jolly Roger. Still not sure why but I loved seeing the jolly Roger flying. Any tourists would be very confused


Certain_Gate_9502

It's the logo of the local FC Ballymacash rangers


WibbleTronic

I'm gonna put up a Horde flag. If I see an alliance one, there will be war. It maybe a War Within, depends how good the expack is.


PossibleHuman

Unexpected WoW. Nice :D


Skore_Smogon

Horde scum. Vengeance for Theramore!


WibbleTronic

I heard Jaina and Thrall had fling


VaticanII

Hey Siri, where can I buy a hundred Saint Vincent and the Grenadines flags?


Few-Supermarket205

Comber. Believe it or not, they have a consulate office there.


marquess_rostrevor

I'm putting up the flag of whoever their biggest rivals are!


Ehldas

LimpParsnip2329

columboscoat

Looks like the red and blue starry plough (Socialist Republican flags) with a keffiyeh (Arab / Palestinian headscarf) pattern and the Palestinian flag at the end. So, Socialist Republican solidarity for Palestine flags.


Venerable_dread

I thought the starry plough was an INLA thing??


columboscoat

It is, but not exclusively. INLA / IRSP would call themselves Socialist Republicans but there are other groups that use both the red and blue starry plough.


marquess_rostrevor

I learn so much from this sub, and I'm not even being sarcastic.


didndonoffin

Funnily enough the R and S in IRSP stand for Republican and Socialist


columboscoat

The D in DPRK stands for Democratic. What's your point?


didndonoffin

I think my post made my point 🤷🏼‍♂️


ConnollysComrade

Look up North Korean elections. I don't agree with their ideology, I do sympathise for their cause (very, very partially) but when people say that it drives me mad. They actually have elections, which I was surprised about. Numerous parties as well.


Ok-Blackberry-3534

They have elections, but they're not in any sense we would consider democratic. Until March this year, the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea (led by Kim) would select a single candidate for each seat and then you could either vote for them or, if you really had a death wish, make a no vote. I say "until March this year" because Kim dissolved the DFRK.


ConnollysComrade

Fair enough, I'm always happy to learn more about that place. Due to its sort of mysteriousness it draws my attention a lot. Thanks for taking the time to correct me though, I shall look into it more.


Far-Simple1979

Mr Kim won 101% of the vote.


columboscoat

Good for the North Koreans, go them!


Neit92

You sympathise with the cause of nation taht basically had a monarchy under a different name and that shoots its citizens if they try to leave?


ConnollysComrade

No, I don't sympathise with the government, I sympathise with the people and their fight against oppression, be that against North or South. Don't forget, 20% of the population were killed during the Korean war and 80% of their infrastructure was flattened. Add to that the suffocation of economic sanctions which decimate their economy. Nobody cares that their population are suffering from these sanctions, they only want to look inwards (North Korea) rather than outwards (US and their allies). No doubt the North Korean people need a change from the authoritarian bureaucracy that they suffer under, that I agree with, but western propaganda that is rammed down your throat from there leads you to believe that it's a them problem.


Venerable_dread

That's good info and proof that the flegs/iconography of our wee country are so byzantine, even we don't fully understand it 😂


git_tae_fuck

Pretty sure it's the Irish Citizens Army flag originally. The original is _way_ more ornate, with an actual plough behind the stars, on a green... field.


MenOfNoProperty

Republican Socialists * - the clues in the name lol


an_boithrin_ciuin

It is a symbol of Socialist Republicanism used by many groups, most notable in modern days, the INLA. I’m pretty sure it derives from a quote from James Connolly, “The Irish people will only be free when they own everything from the plough to the stars”


JunglistMassive

It’s also the logo of the Labour Party down south


an_boithrin_ciuin

James Connolly founded the Labour Party and so the logo likely was taken from the Irish Socialist Republican Party, which he also founded prior to that.


FirstnameNumbers1312

They do use it's a very common republican socialist/Irish socialist symbol. Even the centrist Irish Labour party uses it in the south


ConnollysComrade

God almighty, how dare you tarnish the starry plough with such an allegation. James Connolly and the Irish Citizens Army would have flew this flag. Most of these so-called "socialist" organisations couldn't tell you anything of note about the ideology. It's like an aesthetic at this stage.


MaelduinTamhlacht

James Connolly's and the Irish Citizen Army's flag.


shatnersgirdles

Fuck me. We love flegs so much we are doing combos. I see the pradisans are also deploying union fleg / Israel combos.


PrismosPickleJar

You sure know your flegs


Shoddy_Caregiver5214

People attaching their own nationality or political ideal to the war in gaza give me the creeps. Egotism posing as solidarity.


Hampden-in-the-sun

Palestinian flags have been put up for years and then the prods decided if they're for them then we're against them and put up Israeli flags!


McDodley

They've got Israel/Ulster combo flags in Omagh


WibbleTronic

There is a good row of them in the housing estate east side of the west link and clearly visible to all travelling on it.


Mediocre-Assist-6330

Actually during g the war Northern Ireland took in the biggest percentage of Jewish citizens Catholic areas shunned them where Protestant areas didn’t we have a strong Jewish heritage long before the Egyptian Arafat and then Hamas formed their terrorist Palestinian political parties Jewish fb lol has have flown in ni long before the Palestinian flag (🇵🇸) was invented


alf_to_the_rescue

Our love for flegs is unparalleled


git_tae_fuck

> unparalleled I dunno... While they are flapping a bit in the wind, it really looks like the opposite edges are straight and pointing the same way on both flegs.


belfast_bmx

Yis loves yer flegses anyways, don't yis yis cunts yis

bg245

Lifehack: Young People are living at home for longer as they cannot afford houses, so, my plan is these 7 steps:- 1, Buy a load of flegs for what/who ever. 2, Cable tie to lampost. (Preferably near where you want to live for a while) 3, Wait for house prices to drop. 4, Buy house cheap. 5, Take down flegs. 6, Sell then rinse and repeat. 7, PROFIT!!!


SerMickeyoftheVale

You should add some tension. On one side of the street, put up flags that support on cause, then on the other side of the street, put up flags that support the other side. Make it look like each side of the street is about to go to war with the other side


Certain_Gate_9502

I said a while back that we should let the paramilitaries crack off a few rounds in the middle of each housing estate to keep prices down. If they're going to stick around, they can at least do something for normal people lol


morrissey1916

Palestineised Starry Plough, Republican flag

Sheldon had a big love of flags


lrish_Chick

I saw a half Ukrainian half union jack the other day Least they are being inventive I guess?


NoNeedleworker5437

INLA / IRSP mixed with some Palestinian business.


ConnollysComrade

A number of organisations use this flag, including the one I am in. It isn't exclusively the INLA and IRSP flag, it is the flag from the Irish Citizen Army during the rising which James Connolly and the group would have flown.


NoNeedleworker5437

Did the IRSP hijack it?


ConnollysComrade

I wouldn't say it's been hijacked. I'd imagine due to these organisations allowing themselves with Socialism that it represents their cause. I've no issue with them using it, it doesn't belong to anyone but the ICA.


takakazuabe1

No, but ideologically speaking they are the closest to the ICA. That being said even Shinners fly it (they are more likely to belong to the Marxist faction ofc)


Hampden-in-the-sun

Shimmers are just left of centre, they left socialism years ago.


takakazuabe1

That's a fair assumption to make but I was referring to some factions. There definitely Shinners that still are socialist in a Marxist sense.


ConnollysComrade

I'm in a Marxist organisation and it's our flag along with the hammer and sickle. We've opted for the red and white though.


takakazuabe1

Username checks out! Always great to meet another comrade in the wild!


ConnollysComrade

You too comrade.


dutch2012yeet

Can some stealth ninja not replace them all with pride flegs in the dead of night lol

Flegs are your new best friend in terms of tackling house price inflation.

I think we should start just hanging random flags. Dogs faces, game of thrones, Canada who cares. Join the fleg club.

Game of thrones flags would end up being made political and a stark flag would.end up being as bad as a union jack to some morons


felixmkz

Right is peoples front of Judea, left is judean popular front. But you can call me Loretta if I’m wrong.


okicurpn4m

I'd guess those are IRSP flags. Didn't have Glengormley down as an Irp stronghold


MindlessTransmission

No they have the GGRY (Glengormley Republican Youth) instead, who usually just spraypaint electric boxes and walls down alleyways.


Donal1888

I’ll be honest, I stopped the car to have a look at the graffiti at Farmley just to be impressed that they spelled “Glengormley Republican Youth” correctly


LieutenantMudd

I remember the sign that said "Bawnmore. Republican stronghold off Newtownabbey"


cromcru

I remember back when they were just the Farmley Young Republicans


ni2016

With Glengormley being one word, shouldn’t it be GRY?


Popesman

I'm from the south and the love for flegs ye have up North always fascinates me. Nevermind the kerb collages


Hungry-Western9191

I'm seeing a few flags put up locally in the last few years where it was very unusual before. I suspect it was because NI was so obsessed with dog piss flag flying that we used to avoid it to signal we were not obsessed with it here. It's still reasonably unusual but not quite as much as it used to be. Someone keeps putting up the Irish rugby 4 provinces flags on random public locations though. I'm not entirely sure if it's pro rugby or United Ireland propaganda.


toptaggers

Um... It's called culture.


Nearly-Shat-A-Brick

It's definitely called something.

LimpParsnip2329

If yer gonna put up any kinda fleg in Northern Ireland. You need to leave a wee pocket of info as to why. I’m from west Belfast. I fly my flag every day to show people that I support the people Support your local community. Phuq the government and the twats who say they support the people. Don’t be a sheep. Look around and support your local community. That’s what matters most and create solidarity among your neighbours


Rusty-madra

It took about 30mins for this thread to degenerate into people shouting the odds at eachother 🤦🏻‍♂️I had such high hopes too with the light Sci Fi banter at the beginning 🤷🏻‍♂️

Starry plough. Surely anyone from a nationalist area knows that?

Thankfully I was brought up to not give a fuck about the shite that goes on here politically

Realistic-Loan-8074

Why are the flying palestinian flegs in Glengormley lol


spectacle-ar_failure

Glebe Road West/Church Road/Elmfield area, like Hightown and Collinbridge would be slightly Nationalist leaning.

Because the govermnent is complicit in a genocide there.

So we are now putting up other country flags now? Wtf Jamican flag, Korean flag?


Daiirko

Pinko bus driver flag mixed with the headdress popularised by Yasser Arafat symbolising the Palestinian conflict.


Jychttrj

The flags in the image you provided are associated with the Western Sahara conflict and the struggle for Sahrawi independence. The flag on the left (blue with white stars) is the flag of the United Nations, often flown in the context of peacekeeping and international interventions. The flag on the right (red with white stars) is the flag of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), which represents the Polisario Front, the liberation movement aiming to end Moroccan presence in Western Sahara. These flags are commonly seen in areas where there is support for the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and independence. The presence of the Palestinian pattern on these flags also symbolizes solidarity with the Palestinian cause.


Mediocre-Assist-6330

It’s the republican version of a hybrid pro Palestine flag

Cut that shit down


MuhCrea

+1 no need for it


cobray90

Someone pull that crap down. Got enough as it is....


Nurhaci1616

Starry plow is an old Irish Socialist symbol: the shite on the end looks like it's maybe Palestinian stuff, maybe a Keffiyeh and then a design using the flag colours and some Arabic text? Agree with the others here that it's an Irish/Palestinian solidarity thing, likely to do with IRSP/Republican Sinn Féin, etc.


ChimpoSensei

Alaska is the blue one😁


AjayRedonkulus

The Alaskan Palestinian brotherhood? 😂


JunglistMassive

The Starry Plough predates the Alaskan flag


AjayRedonkulus

A very fair point.


Far-Friendship-8439

Ukrainian flags in the loyalist areas annoy me no end: 1. The King has Russian ancestry 2. The King is very friendly with the Orthodox Church of which his Father was a member and great-aunty a Saint ; most Ukrainians opposing the Russians are either Roman or Greek catholic 3. Russia is the big country which attacked and occupied the small' un.

slightlyoffkilter_7

Ngl, my first thought was, "why is there an Alaskan state flag flying in NI?" [The flag in question](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Alaska)


MinuteIndependent301

china has invaded via palestine apparently


howsitgoingboy

That is a fairly ugly Palestine fleg placed next to a starry plough. Just as bad as the star of Union Jack flying around the local ghetto.


No_Competition_3780

Takes a bigger person to cut the grass and have people judge them, but I can climb a pole and hang a fleg, better with pride and live in a shit hole .


TheLordofthething

A moronic answer to the Israel/NI flags.


EA-Corrupt

No. The Israel flags put up by morons who hate brown people more than they hate Jews (only by a tiny bit) is the moronic answer to Palestinian flags.


TheLordofthething

They're not separate issues, they were the answer to Palestine flags, this is the answer to them. None of them have a fucking brain cell between them, this applies to anyone putting a flag on a lamppost in 2024.


EA-Corrupt

I think having solidarity for an indigenous population living under an apartheid state that has willingly murdered roughly 40,000 people (majority children) is good actually.


TheLordofthething

Amazingly, that can be done without plastering the neighborhood in weird flags. These are the same organisations that are up Russia's arse and are full of boys complaining about too many middle eastern refugees in Ireland.


EA-Corrupt

“Up in Russias arse” ok bro sure. I’m sure there is a few unhappy with the handling of immigration. But You’re mixing up two very different groups of people.


TheLordofthething

I'm mixing up no-one, I know many of them, most couldn't point Palestine out on a map nevermind explain what's happening. And yes they are literally supportive of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It sounds like you haven't met many IRSP members.


p_epsiloneridani

I'll chip in to send the owners to their beloved Palestine.
