There’s a nationality that has been hounded in my country by huge volumes of derogatory disinformation. I want to wear a flag pin supporting those people. But, their government at home is tyrannical and I’m not a fan of using the national flag for that reason. I’m struggling here with a way to clearly and visually show my support of this community.

    No. Sadly the tyrants and fascists have destroyed any idea of actual patriotism that is not directly tied to a government or political party. Flags now fall under the strict jurisdiction of howling psychopaths and underhanded politicians. It’s a sad day for us all

      I was under the impression that that represents a nation under distress. In this case, the issue is that immigrants from that country are being unfairly targeted. Going by yours and other replies, maybe I should find another cultural symbol.

      Be careful with this one. In some countries it is illegal to fly flags upside down as it considered as dispersing national symbol
