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 ?

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 2 points 3 days ago

UK on both sides, US and Israel opposite (???)

UK fighting against a situation it created seems honestly correct

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.

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

The UK playing both sides. Nice 👍

Yet somehow never comes out on top.

Ugh. The wrong British are the worst

[–] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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!

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

[–] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 days 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 4 days 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.

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 4 days ago (1 children)

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

Apolitical ?? Try chaotic

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

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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.

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 3 points 3 days ago

Somehow the UK is on both sides

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days 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.

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