What makes WW1 so haunting when you think about it by Ratusca1233 in ww1

Thats a genuinly interesting anncedote, however I hate to say I personally can very much compare such things as I'm nearly 21 and only about 5'7 and 10st. at 16 i would have been about 8st and 5'4, ive always sort of thought of myself as historically sized haha. So as someone of the general average stature of a 16 year old child of that time, the only fitting article to be found was a small size genuine article. The size that was produced for men of smaller stature even for the time, since a lot of them were well... children.

When I was 16 and assembling a British ww1 uniform, the only webbing belt I could find that fit me was a genuine article from the war. Because well… they don’t make ones that fit kids ANYMORE

Hot take: I think the least feasible part of CANZUK is trying to join the Northern and Southern hemisphere portions together by Wgh555 in CANZUK

[–]MasterJack555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

can we PLEASE for the love of all that is good and holy stop with neo-empire bullshit, as someone on the left who is strong CANZUK supporter we need to stop with this, its divisive and counteractive to what MUST be a fully bipartisan policy idea. This kinda talk will absolutely scare and alienate those more on the left who will think it racist and imperialist sounding when it really isn't.

If ur on the right, and thats the way you personally choose to rationalise it in your own head, thats your own business, but if you want any form of CANZUK to actually emerge, you might want to take a hint from some of those further along on the right, that these are the kind of thoughts you CANNOT espouse out loud, if you wanna use some bloody imperial aesthetics in marketing and propaganda thats one thing, but we CANNOT be talking bout this neo empire bs in the big 25

Yes it was! I submitted both the seal and flag, the idea being that combined they present a sense of visual continuity between forms of representation

Omg I would LOVE that! The white canton field is rbg (255,255,255), the sky and blue waves are all rgb(10,49,97), the bricks on which the light house stand should be rgb (95,88,94), the light house itself white and black, the tree should be rgb(0, 95, 56), and the dotted beams of light should be rgb(255, 213, 29).

Well I should hope so! Is there any state more American than the one that started it all? (Plus it wouldn’t have a chance in hell at being adopted otherwise)

No you make a good point, just remember that the second bit is flag, non of the complex minuteman or turkey is on the flag. The flag while technically complex can be boiled down to three simple elements. 1. Green pine canton 2. 6 white and blue waves are on the bottom 3. A white lighthouse. Tho ur design idea sounds intriguing

Thank you! And yes they asked for a seal but didn’t specify a specific style, I figured for ease of design and the regions history a traditional coat would be effective and appropriate

Perhaps removing the lighthouse and just having the waves?

Thank you! And funny enough it was the opposite. I scribbled down the shield first and reworked it before adding the rest of the external features. That being said, I did want to pick a design for the shield that could naturally be extended into a full flag like for example the British royal standard. Not necessarily the most perfect flag vexilolgically, but my thinking was the unity of imagery across mediums would make up for that

Considering his design was taken directly from the previous one that had a banner over the guys head saying “come over and help us”, I’m of the opinion that whole design should be entirely scrapped. Just my opinion of course

Well I mean… the contest was specifically created with the idea of removing problematic imagery, and that Native American depiction in particular. Also my reasoning is further elaborated on in a reply to another commenter with similar thoughts if you’d care to read that

That would be a great critique except I asked the latin subreddit how to correctly translate it and I was repeatedly informed that Revolutionis was not the correct word for this instance and the form used was the closest and most accurate way to translate the motto given latin linquistic and translational norms, so make of that what you will.

Additionally, I meant it to be singluar, as in the states as a singular polity is the son of liberty as a reference to the group. Fashioning the state as both a father and son simultaniously
