I will avoid saying why I’m planning on doing it now only because it will color people’s interpretation of why I’m doing it.
Hopefully my Iran flag will come in time, but it will the a 3’ by 5’ flag and it will tough be 10’ in the air and I will be with other protestors.
I have waves the Palestine flag in multiple previous protests and I get the sense that people don’t recognize it like the LGBT flag
I’m generally against waving the flag of another nation at a protest. Nothing wrong with protesting about those issues—your intention about foreign affairs is just usually a lot clearer with a sign instead of a flag.
Where I protest it’s next to roads so people are moving faster so signs are harder to read.
With signs there’s a spectrum, the more words you use the more complex your message can be, but the harder it is to read and understand; fewer words mean simpler message that’s easier to read and understand. Idk how picture factor in
Probably could make a sign that says “Iran will win”
Im not wild about it myself. The protest is about our people wanting to change the way our government and society do things and I feel having foreign flags kinda suggest foreign influence. I mean if people in europe where protesting for the plight of the typical american I would not want them waving american flags because that is a symbol of our country which, like it or not, now includes what our government is currently doing. It does not really represent the current people. Im not big on nationalism though but you kinda gotta fight for what your cultural symbols mean or you will have the folks flying the countries flag along the nazi flag and a failed states flag. Given all that I could totally seeing flying a native american flag if there is one since they are not external.
If it’s to support Iranian government, no, if it’s to support Iranian people, yes. If you are not Iranian, maybe leave that to Iranian people or those living/have lived there. Either way there will be people that interpret it one way and people that interpret it another. I’d try to understand the overall purpose of the protest and see if it’s supporting that or distracting from it.
EDIT: I guess there’s a lion and sun flag that can be used to represent the people and not the government. Maybe do a little research about it.
Yeah it just came to my mind that I should wave the old Iranian flag and not the current one since the citizens use it there to protest their government
