it's a symbol of pure hate and genocide. in the US it's as bad or worse than the nazi swastika.
Ohhhh, that's why everyone was so upset, I was super confused why they hated the confederate flag
yea exactly ?
like idk it's still SUPER SILLY i agree, but say ur living in berlin and u have a flag from ur home country that kinda vaguely looks like a swastika, and people are upset about it like ?
it costs $0.00 to take it down and spare people the kind of intense anxiety and actually being triggered bc for even a split second they think someone in their immediate surroundings thinks they deserve to die violently
so, an american with norwegian heritage is not allowed to celebrate their heritage publicly because some imbecille might be wrongly offended by it? yea no

but saying "smh americans" ? like im sorry but they're literally in america ? it's not silly for them to take that flag down bc it's causing quite serious misunderstandings in their local community ?
its ignorant, and only a fucking moron would confuse the norwegian flag with the southern states flag

Well ye a lot of people recognize the issue with the flag, but it's still prevalent. I still see it used as bumper stickers or some redneck has it on their big truck. It's still ironic to me that people think that flag is 100% ok and freak out over the Norwegian flag like???
