i get the "drift" of your stance on the Rainbow flag, but i'm not sure why you are focusing here (among other things) on the Rainbow flag. The Rainbow Flag is very much a symbol of LGBTQ+ pride, but is also a marketing tool or image as well. Its flag is very focused on a particular subject matter. I don't think the purpose of that flag is to deal with other issues than what it stands for. I think you should design and manufactor your own flag to comment on the issues that concern you.

It's a metaphor for the 2 parties. The idiocy of MAGA on the right and the liberals who adopt fierce stances on things like gender pronouns but accept the pro-war, antiworking class presidents and genociders like Biden. But thanks for the feedback. I can always go back and make that clear, which I will do. Right now! But the flag stays: people who follow politics understand its usage a a symbol of the liberal left's identity politcs. Anyway, my "drift" will be less drifty this way, a little tweak to make things clear: We have the idiocy of the reactionary right’s racist Maga kooks, and amongst liberals, a rainbow flag utterly emptied of all of the radical queerness it used to embody: a balm used to ease their guilt over supporting genocidal, anti-working-class politicians.
