#tonnes of the lest we forget ww1 soldiers and poppies flag which is another right wing rallying point

USians you will be distressed to know that in the UK far right people use Trump flags, MAGA hats and even confederate flags to signify their allegiances to each other.
#saw the first 2 today#and have unfortunately seen the 3rd in the past#there was a massive right wing march in london today#i dont even know what the catalyst was-labour getting elected? reform not doing as well as they wanted?#either way it was FULL of the above and more#plenty of england flags- outside of international football this is basically always a racist thing#but also a TONNE of union flags#and a notable amount of welsh scottish and irish#is this some kind of right wingers unite across the country thing?#then there were a few flags from other countries in europe and also notably israel#tonnes of the lest we forget ww1 soldiers and poppies flag which is another right wing rallying point#though like country flags it isnt automatically one#going back to the trump thing- it would be tempting to make fun of MAGA used in the uk (and i did)#but its obviously the sentiment (make our country great again in a non specific way that's probably about hating immigrants)#that matters here. not being able to vote for trump doesnt bother them they just want to emulate him and support politicians that do#one guy even had a goddamn trump 2020 flag ffs#like yknow the election he LOST#anyway it was fucked i hate all of this#but it did make me think about the right's allegiances and values#both overt and hidden
