I’m mostly half-serious.

    This ignores the anarchism flag. Clearly, the post is not an endorsement of any particular regime but of leftists more broadly. Leftists have been protesting and fighting immoral wars and imperialism for generations. It’s appropriate that they should be represented in the message.

    But, let’s be honest, literally any leftist flag would be used to detract from the point of the post. People in this thread aren’t even talking about the decades-long wars, drone strikes, civilian casualties, “weapons of mass destruction” etc. How convenient!

    So instead of giving a straight answer, you would rather shift the burden to the person asking you what the fuck you’re talking about.

    I can only assume you’re equating the hammer and sickle with the USSR rather than with communism more generally. The anarchism symbol underneath should clue you in to the fact that the post is not an endorsement of any particular regime. Ironically, you’re the one perceiving things in their most literal sense.
