I think it was Darren Beattie who says that the rainbow flag and not the American flag is the symbol of American power

Very true which is why the artificial 'support and alliance' of the flag shows their true power. It's all emperor without clothes, only held together by flimsy threads of propaganda

If you take it by the very adoption of the symbol itself, it's openly rejected in Africa, Middle East, Asia and Eastern Europe

And in the countries it's displayed, they punish all dissidents quickly than risk them talking. They're afraid it'll end up like the masks, once enough people go 'this is bullshit, why are we doing this?' They lose all their power.
