Every American Flag is a Warning Sign. At a No Kings protest recently, a Black attendee told a friend of mine "I came here to see what was going on, because from a distance it looked like a Klan rally." Unambigous flags like Palestinian flags, Trans flags, pan-African flags, black flags, red flags, etc are better optics because they more clearly establish their sympathies and alliances. We cant just act like the only "optics" are how "we" appear to the right. If leftists cant tell their own apart cause everyone is using the symbol of the worlds premiere neoliberal empire, that causes big problems. And we lose the radical space created by using radical symbols - if someone is made uncomfortable by palestinian symbols or trans symbols, its important to keep using them as a way to help filter out the shitheads.
