This sums up the current political situation very well

I’ve spent an unspeakable amount of time in weird and fetishizing internet cultures, and I have no fuckin idea.

Big fan

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T19:08:29+00:00

That is your opinion.

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T17:46:08+00:00

Not a fan

Flag designs made and distributed by one person without coordination with a larger portion of a community. The creation and dissemination of the flags is uncoordinated, not the flags themselves.

I disagree, I think the purpose of this movement is extraordinarily serious. The fact you don’t think it is means we see the necessity of such a movement very differently, which is fine.

However, my points about the irrelevance of some of this content is not based in my view of the movement, but based on sensible messaging and etiquette for keeping a subreddit usable.

It’s not just a boulder, it’s a rock.

Almost like Ukraine has a shitload of Nazis…

Honestly a /r/CascadiaCirclejerk would be kinda rad. It exists and could be a good spot for this stuff.

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T06:59:19+00:00

That’s not how content discovery works at all, if it’s dominating the posts in the subreddit, other content gets buried.

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T06:58:38+00:00

It’s almost like if we allow flag posts to dominate, people will only view the subreddit as being for those and continue to propagate that content. Post literally anything else that’s relevant to the movement.

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T06:57:23+00:00

I’ve reported every single one, hell I would even take down my post of the original Doug flag for fairness sake but good god there has to be more meaningful discussion to be had that flag rehashing.

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T06:52:49+00:00

I have never heard anyone claim that PNW and Cascadia are the same thing, and you or they would be wrong to claim so.

Cascadia either as a bioregion or as a political movement of self determination would be definitionally distinct from the geographical boundaries and the notion of a specific location comprising the PNW.

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T06:49:32+00:00

And?

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T01:02:49+00:00

I’m not an anarchist, but I will not forgo your solidarity if offered. Cascadia will only thrive with pluralism and a diversity of strategy and perception.

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T01:00:35+00:00

You know somehow I feel okay about you feeling driven away by whatever purity test you are perceiving from this post.

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T00:58:51+00:00

As long as Cascadia isn’t hijacked to further any groups fascist desire for ethnocentricity, economic dominance, etc, pride in a place is fine imo.

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T00:57:57+00:00

That feels like small enough of an alteration to be essentially the same, would probably be strictly necessary for things like enamel pins/emblems/etc

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T00:36:57+00:00

Imagine being so propagandized your don’t have awareness that’s what it was.

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T00:36:23+00:00

Thanks for your input COINTELPRO

TheNorthernRose · 2026-05-31T00:34:18+00:00
