Nah, the American flag is a symbol of colonialism and oppression. The pride flag is a symbol of liberation.
Also red hats. I feel for a person who is a fan of a baseball team that uses red, cause from a distance their hat just screams fascism.
Poor Mario can’t catch a break.
This is my problem. I bought some iron-on patches for the back of my Mario hat so I won’t be mistaken. It’s a different color red, but most people won’t pick up on that.
If more people knew about the fucked up shit the US did to countries south of their border, countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, their flag would be a symbol of terror, not hope and prosperity.
Don’t forget the entire Latin America was/still is fucked by the USA
Sorta like how Christians have tried to own the definition of marriage too.
And morality.
I expected a Super Mario joke
I also was initially very confused why Mario was upset about the rainbow flag.
According to the logo on his hat it’s Magario 😆
Mario’s been watching too much Fox News, they should’ve never brought TVs and cable to Peach’s castle.
All this time, the M stood for MAGA!
Not sure if Americans know this, but outside of US, like here in Canada, the US flag is now a sign that you support fascism…
And this has all changed dramatically in the last 8 years. We used to never see American flags, but now you see people flying them along side their other racist slogans and flags.
Honestly the Canadian flag isn’t too far off the same designation… at least here in dumbass alberta
It was the worst during the Olympics!!! Because it’s like are you trying to support our athletes? Or upset about public health measures? I HATED that it was the same symbol for both.
The point of the comic is that even within the US, flying the US flag out of context implies that you are a fascist.
I’ll have you know, here in the US, people that are donning the American flag have been a sign of nationalistic fascism since at least the late 90s/early 2000s. At least no later than the inception of the Tea Party.
The only thing worse than an American ultra nationalist is one that isn’t even American
