probably ban white people and implement some kind of DNA test to determine who is and who doesn't follow their "1-drop-rule"
It's like Melbourne wasn't already known for being the most cucked city in this fucked country. I need the fuck out of here.
The real Belarusian flag is the one with the Pahonia. But it's banned in Belarus.
This one is the Soviet flag of Belarus, just without the hammer and sickle (for now).
See, I actually agree with you there. Though obviously that’s fairly controversial in Lithuania, lol!
I actually do like the opposition’s take on that, minus the Pahonia, for now at least…
The official green and red one looks weirdly Asian or Turkic, for a country which is very far removed from either of those things, lol…
It looks a whole lot like a color-inverted Russian flag of Chechnya.
I don’t agree with this (surprisingly), but I don’t see why anyone is particularly surprised, by now, after everything (at least they can play, unlike Wimbledon)…
Of all the things going on, both at that tournament, and in Melbourne, and in this country, this is frankly… Merely a minor symptom.
There are some places in this country where you cannot even display the Australian flag, on AUSTRALIA DAY (next week). Personally, I think that’s a bit more insane, even if it is, in fact, part of essentially the same…
Saw a half Australian/half Ukrainian flag (divided vertically), the other day, driving through a tiny country town. I actually thought that was kind of cool, but really it just shows you how completely ubiquitous support for Ukraine is, here…
Unlike pretty much any other issue, this is one where you find very little dissent, in the mainstream, in this country… Even Sky News very rarely goes too far against that particular grain…
