Now One of Our Post-Modern Influencers Says We Need a New Flag

How's this for a flag inspired by the philosophy espoused by the party
of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, and burning crosses and churches?

 

Apparently, one of our post-modern versions of a societal influencer, Grammy winning R&B singer Macy Gray has opined this week on the tragic unwokeness of our American flag. She says we need a new one because the old Stars and Stripes is as obsolete as the Confederate Stars and Bars and racially offensive. Also, according to Gray, the American flag has become "code" for a specific belief, namely mainstream American conservativism. She doesn't say that, directly but I have it on good authority that "specific belief" is progressive code for conservatism and/or Republicans. These days everything is code. We haven't had to work so hard breaking code since World War II when we had to decipher the Japanese military codes and German Enigma codes in order not to be forcibly "woke" by our racially superior foes. Everything we say means something other than what we actually said anymore. This sort of linguistic bullying is familiar to me. I encountered it a lot on school playgrounds when bullies decide the skinny, bespectacled nerdy me was someone they could safely give ugly nicknames to, attach crude suggestions to and/or to punch in the face. The bullies I encounter in my adulthood use words like racist, suggest I'm a bigot, and delete my social media posts. Words like systemic racism covers a multitude of the perceived sins of anyone who disagrees with them. 

To combat this nation's "systemic racism" Oberst Gray suggest we create a new flag. The Grammy Award-winning artist argues that "the American flag’s stars ought to include all skin tones rather than being solely white in order to include all of the nation’s citizens."

So I designed them a new flag along those lines that anticipates further demands for inclusion of symbols/codes for other "woke" belief systems. I have a theory that "inclusive" to progressives means dragging those with certain "specific beliefs" to the base of the progressive "woke" idol. This flag meets several criteria for a "woke" flag.

1. The three main colors are actually sampled from the skin colors of minority races, black, middle-eastern, and Asian specifically. The pink is there to represent women, LGBTQ, and woke white wealthy politicians.
   
2. The feminist symbol was included instead of stars. The progressive ideal is to centralize all power as to make state authority null and void. It's how progressives see "unity" - a system in which there is only one choice.
3. Reduced the number of stripes to 12 since the number 13 is considered bad juju in many minority cultures.
4. None of the evil whiteness is represented. In the new flag, white people are marginalized, even banished from American life for our sins.
   

This flag represents progressive ideas of unity in which all the successfully incorporated into the progressive plantation and who demonstrate their obedient voluntary servitude. the goal of progressive socialism of the sort that people like Macy Gray salivate over reminds me of this Gary Larson cartoon. The cave man has killed a mammoth and opened a primeval version of a soup kitchen. Want to guess what's on the menu? The second cave man, wishing to preserve the illusion of his own freedom, orders exactly what he would have gotten whatever he had asked for.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am sick of elitist snowflakes trying to tell me and everyone else how we must believe, what outrageous nonsense we must accept, what we must surrender to the state and how we must live, and it's all to preserve their authority and privilege status. I've been saying for decades that this is about restoring the elite noble privileged classes to rule over us. They have invoked those who would move us away from dependence on God - Darwin, Marx, Nietzsche, Wells, Shaw, Maslow, Skinner and (God help us) they even quote Mao as authority for the belief that we should surrender our will to the state and to the elite uber(wo)men who run it.

I do not hold to that. I aim to misbehave.
