Fuck me, is that real? Who designed this thing? Never mind the art, it just looks like we want to be turned over and cry about our daddy issues while sucking cock. I''m sure you and everyone else has realised;
- The distinction of multiculturalism is incompatible in a national flag, since the shared nationality IS the culture, and we already have disenfranchised, indigenous black people with an art history that does not require foreign import, unless we think that all dark skinned people are the same.
- Celebrating the ANZACs are our greatest cope, not because we have no respect for the army or the veterans who served there, but because we celebrate it almost entirely on the scope of the losses we took at Gallipoli - despite the fact that the French and the British lost far more people on that campaign than we did.
- Unoriginal, but at least means something because we're surrounded by water.
- Fine, but other countries are south of the equator and its an outdated distinction.
- Fine, but unoriginal, cause America kind of owns that one
- Nice thought, wonderful, but the design is hideous and looks like it comes off a parade ground in North Korea.
- Distinguishing the LGBTQWTF+ as distinct from the rest of the the national character is an admission that we think of ourselves as deserving of some higher recognition above everyone else. What happened to being different but equal, cocksuckers?
People who think the current year orthodoxy of 'good' can be represented in a single, all encompassing kaleidoscope of arbitrary bullshit will find no peace beyond their own ignorance.
