Thoughts on Remembrance Day/wearing a poppy? (lemmygrad.ml)

Curious what other comrades opinions are on this. Personally, I don’t wear a poppy. And this is not out of any disdain for those who were killed in imperialist wars of course, but of disdain for the military and the imperialist wars themselves.

I do go back and forth on this a bit though, because I don’t want to disrespect the dead, but I also certainly don’t want to show any support to the imperialist apparatus.

You should wear an Easter Lily instead.

Interesting, I’ve never heard of the Easter Lily, thanks comrade. Do people in Ireland still wear them around Easter?

Mostly by Sinn Féin supporters, afaik.
