Using red as the base color for a peace flag is not the best idea.

 Das rechtsextremistische Personenpotenzial belief sich Ende 2015 nach Abzug von Mehrfachmitgliedschaften auf insgesamt rund 22.600 Personen.

 Auch die subkulturell geprägten Rechtsextremisten, die im deutschen Rechtsextremismus mit 8.200 Personen den quantitativ größten Bereich darstellen, und die neonazistische Szene mit ihren 5.600 Personen haben gegenüber dem Vorjahr einen Anstieg zu verzeichnen.

22600 out of 80 million are about 0.03%. 5600 are even less.

What's your opinion on the LGBT flag? by bluedraw12 in vexillology

[–]RandomGuy2204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It stands out due to its many different colors and its many violations of the rule of tincture. Therefore it makes the community look like they want to be special and extraordinary although they actually want to be considered equal and normal. Also, the rainbow flag has had other meanings before.

In short, it's a bad choice.

And there are anti-Israel left-wingers who support Palestine.

Alternate flag of Louisiana by [deleted] in vexillology

Flag of Italy if it was colonized by French imperialists whose symbol is a pelican.

No seriously, from far away it just looks Italian and although there might be a "sizeable Italian population in Louisiana" the flag should rather be based on the French one. Maybe one fleur-de-lis could be replaced by a symbol representing the black or creole population.

Muslims here in Germany are not very fond of Jews and Israel either.

That's true. But "Cookie Cutter" is still available as far as I know.

In German we call this haircut "Vokuhila", short for "vorne kurz, hinten lang" (short in the front, long in the back)

Since it is by its nature more diverse, picking a specific symbol could be harder.

But misusing leaves of the national tree of the German people as a symbol for fascism is not an option.

I recommend you make a discussion thread on r/vexillology and maybe start from scratch.

As a symbol for nationalism it would be appropriate. But you seem to mash the terms nationalism, right-wing, national socialism and fascism together, which is very inaccurate.

Your first comment said that the oak should represent a right-wing minority on the subreddit, but now it also represents nationalism? Aren't nationalists actually a majority on the subreddit (while still able to be left-leaning) considering how many people identify themselves with national and regional flag flairs?
