In Hong Cong the protesters are waving he American Flag. In Portland the Antifa radicals are waving a communist flag with the hammer and sickle on it.

Anyone the left care to explain this to me?

Whatever gets a reaction and, more importantly, press coverage.
 
Is it? Odd?


Not really, not when you think about it...


Isn't the grass on the other side always greener?

Care to explain why so many right-wingers keep flying the confederate flag?

American flag = freedom = Hong Kong protesters want freedom
Hammer and sickle = no freedom = Antifa guys are idiots

It's ironic, actually. Antifa types are waving a flag that symbolizes oppression and support it, yet it's freedom that allows them to look like flaming idiots.

Good question. How about you start a thread asking that question instead of derailing this one?

The day this OP stops spamming this forum with stupid opinon threads with no links will be the day I may answer a stupid question from him.

I don’t know about the antifa idiots, but the Hong Kongers have enjoyed, essentially, a democracy for more than a century under British rule, until they were given back to China. Now, the people of Hong Kong are looking to America to stand with them and insist that China honor their Special Administrative Region (SAR) agreement, which would be violated by mainland China extraditing Hong Kongers (the beginning of a slippery slope away from promised semi-autonomy).

An important moment for our President to publicly support Hong Kongers. Really shameful that he won’t.

You're dodging it here, so why would you answer it there?

Of course, you are honoring the founding of your party, and we know how friendly they were to the Confederacy.

There is also the "dumb" factor.

Radical extremist Antifa is a leftist group who claim to be anti-fascist but are in fact a faction of the mainstream Dem Party which are full of hatred and contempt for our country. Thus they claim the hammer/sickle as their banner. Some can also be seen wearing Che t-shirts.

In HK, they know the USA stands for freedom, liberty, and self determination. The exact opposite of Antifa.

You can't expect any flag to comprehensively stand for a confusing complex of ideologies.
