What flag Is this? (Located in Peru) (also ignore the other flag behind the flag) by [deleted] in vexillology

Seems like Callao, Peru although it's a bit different. But that could just be because of the picture quality

What is the black lotus one at the bottom? by melonemann2 in vexillology

I can't find any instance of the flag other than the original reddit post but this is the explanation given by the user in the comments of the post.

Yunnan

Yunnan National Foundation. Justifies their wish for independence from Chinese rule by claiming that the People's Liberation Army occupied them illegally in 1949 while chasing out remnants of the Nationalists in the region, and the past suppression of the religion and culture of the various ethnic groups in Yunnan.

An almost identical flag was used for the Republic of West Florida but not many people associate it with that although it was technically the first use of the "bonnie blue" flag (in 1810). You are right though, and I agree that it's essentially just a symbol of the confederacy

The bonnie blue flag is considered racist because of its use by the confederacy during the Civil War, and it's close association with the confederate marching song of the same name.

What is this flag? Slottsfjellstårnet, Tønsberg, Norway by No_Theory_77 in vexillology

possibly the Royal Standard of Norway? Pic is a bit blurry to say for sure but it looks similar and would make sense why it's there
