My closest guess is that it's a tankie viewpoint. But I think the real answer is that it was just made as a joke. The gay/trans flags being on opposite sides and the UK being on both sides seems pretty on the nose.

That’s my guess as well, but I feel too many flags on the right don’t match the core tankie bs. Biden ? Vatican ?

UK fighting against a situation it created seems honestly correct

The UK playing both sides. Nice 👍

Ugh. The wrong British are the worst

Jesus and Satan are natural enemies, like trangender and British people, or Californians and British people, or British people and other British people. Damn Brits! They ruined Britain!

Israel and Palestine on the same side

LGBT and trans flags on opposing sides, this must be deliberate trolling

[–] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This overall picture is def deliberate trolling, but there's a concerning amount of LGBTQ+ who would be willing to throw their trans siblings under the bus, and have even proposed removing T from LGBT. So like very much possible.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago

This is what happens when you abandon humanism and instead focus only on the rights of whatever clique you happen to belong to in particular.

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

On the side of Jesus.

I guess the Nigerian civil war, but Wikipedia doesn't have that 'supported by' table

Usually the play on these is to pick the opposite side to Israel but this one's tough bc Israel's on both sides.

I'm picking the left side bc China had brain-meltingly bad foreign policy during this era and there's also Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa on the right.

This could easily be the allies of two of the 20 sides in the Libyan or Syrian civil wars.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was going to point out that several flags are on both sides but then like yeah... fair point.

Love the Easter egg of the Event Horizon version of the Australian flag.

[–] rustyfish@piefed.world 8 points 2 months ago

The devil has the EU and Germany. According to my calculations, that makes two Germanys.

Jesus is fucked.

Big fan of how the U.S is bad, but ~~canada~~ California specifically is fine.

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

US bad, California good. UK bad, UK also good. Biden good, also thin blue line and gadsden flag good. Isreal good, also Palestine good.

I'm sorry but stating China and Russia as freedom bastions is some tankie apologist bullshit.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Usually id agree but this is clearly chaotic for the sake of being chaotic. Even if nothing else gave it away, Israel and Palestine are on the same side.

Edit: also, a tankie would've never put south Korea on the 'good' side.

Sure but I feel that is offset by the NATO/Ukraine flag, also the fuck is Mississippi doing there.

Apolitical ?? Try chaotic

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

So basically, everyone allied with China/Russia (the usual dictators, and shitty ideologies, along with a few unfortunate victims such as palestine), vs all th- nwm, it puts trans vs gay. This makes no fucking sense.

EDIT: The only pattern I notice is that the left side is all "vanilla" and "boring", while the right is cray cray.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

this just in: lgbtq, japan, the united states, and olympics are vanilla and boring while palestine, switzerland, france, and biden are cray cray.

I cannot fucking decipher what the stance behind it could be

Maybe that's the message. It's impossible to tell which is the good side. What has precedence, the flags or the image?

Overall, the left side could be the countries that are controlled by the US, which includes Cuba because of the embargo. LGBTQ is on that side because the logo was abused by the corporations whereas trans is alien to the US establishment.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Damn. Shitposting has reached a new epoch.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

This is easy. US and EU and Ukraine and Taiwan on Satan's side. UK playing both sides. France, DPRK, ROK, Palestine, Israel all on Jesus side.

Answer is choose China. From Brother where are't thou... They are the only ones remaining unaffiliated.
