The other flags in that movie are like the US flag or EU flag having a couple more stars. Most normies' vision of the future is their character's empire having more territories whereas my man Sam's like "AUSTRALIAN SOVEREIGNTY SHALL RETURN TO ITS INDIGENOUS PEOPLE!"

For Australia the equivalent to the number of stars is the number of points on the stars. Still 7 in that pic.

That's also how there was an almost Star of David in the goblin bank in the first Harrt Potter movie. I recall getting into a reddit argument with the position it was weird no one thought to move the rug for the shot. Cause it's pretty hard to tell how the one point difference on the star and it's already a goblin bank and also movie sers have like a hundred people on during filming and hundreds more deciding how everything is going to go do and look before filming. Like, even if the looks like a star of David in a goblin bank part wasn't caught then the Australia part still breaks immersion, they couldn't spring for a fucking rug in this multi million dollar movie?

The original JP is my favorite movie of all time and the fact one of my favorite actors is also a genuinely cool dude is so great.

Sadly Ron Pearlman is a diehard Israel supporter.

The position of the flag implies that the indigenous people colonized the country, which is funny as shit

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

I get what you mean and it is hilarious but nobody would get the reference if they didn't do it that way probably.

Actually in this timeline the indigenous people drove the colonizers into the sea.

I'm in an internal debate about the eureka flag, nd southern cross in general, its an inherently christian symbol, the more i think about it the leas i like it. Not many other people i know care about this at all. Dont even get me started on the cross being associated with first aid. I'm firmly Red Crystal gang.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Now that you mention it, I see your point. The Southern cross is probably worse for being a symbol of the explorers who discovered land to be colonized than for the cross itself IMO.

Meanwhile the Nordic countries have sideways crosses because one of them started it since they had a king see a cross or something in a battle, and then they copied each other's homework. The king didn't even meet Jesus, he just hallucinated a cross. If you met the guy then at least that's a story. That's like putting Elvis on your flag because you saw him in a potato chip.

The eureka flag was originally flown by striking miners in the Eureka Rebellion 1854, from memory its the first flag to feature the southern cross, it wasnt adopted by the colonies until victoria adopted its current flag later on

Colonists largely being christian is a big part of my issue, being in a mostly christian state I was a bit blind to the significance of the cross until recently, but look at this shit

Are you talking about Constantine or some other king that had a cross-battle dream?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It was Danish King Valdemar II, who had the flag fall from the sky to him as a sign. Some historians say it was a cross-battle dream, like Constantine, or like the 1217 Seige of Alcacer do Sal.

I guess hallucinating crosses during or after battles was just a common thing for a while. Everyone who lost while hallucinating a cross probably died so there's probably some confirmation bias there too. It's like how praying for your team to win a superbowl only works if you end up winning, if you lose then I guess the other team prayed harder.

I think that this'd be the most likely to get agreed on. Change nothing except dropping the union jack for the aboriginal flag. People prefer as little change as possible.

As for what it should be, idk. I think stars should be involved definitely.

Swap the southern cross for a single red star bugs-stalin

i thought the australian flag was the black and white picture from the 60s of the kangaroo popping john drysdale in the face.
