Btw. when I say: #Flags == #Patriotism == #Nationalism, then I also mean Patriotism == Nationalism. I have no problem to call you nationalist, when you just wanna be a little patriot. Psychologically speaking its ingroup-love and follows the same rules.

Lawrence W. Britt: 14 Characteristics of #Fascism
"#Historian #LawrenceBritt studied the fascist regimes of #Hitler (Germany), #Mussolini (Italy), #Franco (Spain), #Suharto (Indonesia), and #Pinochet (Chile) and found they had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism.
1. Powerful and Continuing #Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of #patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. #Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of #HumanRights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, and long incarcerations of prisoners.
3. Identification of #Enemies / #Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: #racial, #ethnic or #religious #minorities; #liberals; #communists; #socialists, #terrorists…
4. Supremacy of the #Military
Even when there are widespread #domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant #Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional #gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to #abortion is high, as is #homophobia and anti-#gay legislation.
6. Controlled #MassMedia
Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation or by sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Government #censorship and #secrecy especially in war time, are very common.
7. Obsession with #NationalSecurity
Fear of hostile foreign powers is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. #Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
9. Protection of #Corporate Power
The #industrial and business #aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Suppression of #Labor Power
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor #unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for #Intellectuals and the #Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to #HigherEducation and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other #academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
12. Obsession with #Crime and #Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the #police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego #CivilLiberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant #Cronyism and #Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. #Fraudulent #Elections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by #SmearCampaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control #voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
This post is a summary of Fascism, Anyone? by Lawrence W. Britt published in 2003 by Free Inquiry magazine."

Expanding on this theme perhaps heraldic devices could also have ideas such as a field of Orcs or other mobs for clues, While lions rampant would indicate the the regional threat is from lions/lion based ideas perhaps #chimera and #Dragonnes…
This is inspired by the #Itsamimic #podcast especially the one where they talked about the story behind the #dragons and #flags of the #English and the #Welsh #kingdoms #TTRPG

They were all of them amazing. Best I can do is share mine. You can imagine the rest.

Diverse #genderidentity #flags: Learn the #Genderqueer, #Nonbinary, #GenderFluid #prideflags
The #Genderqueer #Flag was created in 2011 by #artist #MarilynRoxie. People who are #genderqueer reject conventional gender categories in favor of fluidity. Their gender identity could be both male and female, neither male nor female or a combination.
What do the #colors of the #Rainbow #Pride #Flag mean? A #history on how the flag came to be.
Since its creation in 1978, the #Rainbow #PrideFlag has become a universal symbol for the LGBTQ community. It represents the pride and hope of LGBTQ people and reflects the diversity within the community.

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time and it's #StGeorgesDay today, celebrating the Roman soldier who was born in what's modern day Turkey who inexplicably ended up being the patron saint of England 🤷♂️. It's possibly because he clearly had a bang up branding department who came up with the iconic red cross on a white background motif used on the St George's flag 🏴. It's been the flag of England for quite a while, but which King was the first to use it in the context of a national flag?
We've waited for it and, finally, he obliges. #CGPGrey's official ranking of United States flags.
I've only lived in states with bad seals making worse #flags. At least WA and MN are green to switch it up.
Can't disagree much with Grey's rankings except I think I give Ohio bonus points for pennant shape.
Now to get all the bad state flags to pull a Utah-level redesign!

Interesting article about a proposed redesign of the #WashingtonState #Flag by Bradley Lockhart (who designed the #BellinghamWA flag).
What do you think, does Washington need a new flag?
I made the original @what_capital 7 years ago as part of a tutorial, about time I brought it over to the #fediverse. Anyone interested in giving it a try?

Can someone please help me understand how I can use build flags and do so properly?
There are dozens of libraries that recommend using LDFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and others which need to be set for them to function as expected.
Except everyone always shows this:
export LDFLAGS="-L /path/to/lib/" assuming that no other library requires the same, and overriding those exports.
It seems extremely likely that appending is necessary, not overriding. Why is it never recommended?
@seb One of my favorite podcasts, 99 Percent Invisible, has done a few episodes about flags, all the way back to their 6th episode in 2010.
https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-06-99-symbolic/
And the host, Roman Mars, did a TED Talk on the subject.
I'd like to interrupt your stream to present to you the flag of Seychelles which is, in my humble opinion, one of the best flags I've seen.
The bold use of color and the fact that you can take a crop of it from the lower left corner and always end up with the same flag just speaks to me.
New instance, new #introduction
I'm a storyteller working in #communication and #education. I do #InstructionalDesign and #MediaProduction at #Harvard where I work with faculty to bring their research and teaching to public audiences. I'm especially interested in cross-discipline dialogue and education for #ClimateAction. Spare time goes to #Antarctica outreach projects.

#Introduction time! I like breaking down the line between #communication and #education, especially when it relates to #ClimateAction. I'm currently doing #InstructionalDesign and #Production at #Harvard. I studied #journalism at #Mizzou and education at #HGSE.
I'm living in #Boston, but my heart is forever in #Antarctica and most of my spare time goes to polar advocacy projects like Antarktikos Magazine, True South (a flag for Antarctica), and #PolarPride.

At the risk of repeating myself, I am about to repeat myself. Hello from my new-old Mastodon home. I was once @formerlyquincy on this same instance back in 2017, then @rosenbergite@mastodon.lol until a couple days ago. I had an introduction there, but now that I'm settled back here, I go again here:
I have been in the IT support world for around 25 years, most of which were for front-end, customer-facing support in two Midwestern states. Yep, this means I am older than the average tooter. Over the last 2-3 years, I've added a substantial amount of back-end support, so I'm knowledgeable enough to be dangerous in Active Directory and ConfigManager. It is likely that Microsoft 365 services will soon follow along, and even though I'm not a manager or supervisor, I'm unofficially acting in that capacity. It's a bit annoying to be both two things and neither of them at the same time, but that seems to be my path-as-not-a-path journey.
Outside of work, I have a life! I enjoy photography, travel, music, podcasts, birdwatching, wines and beers, far too much what-if speculation like alternate histories or imaginary maps/flags, various cult-ish shows (MST3K, Doctor Who, etc.), astronomy, and I can even talk sportsball.
The above are some of my interests, but not all. I distract far too easily, so some interests are more shallow than others.
