therefore,
EU flag doesn't fit here because it's a symbol that's used nowadays to represent 27 countries, not just colonisers. that's why I initially said it was anachronistic
EU is part of burger empire, burger empire does all the colonialism and imperialism today
You say "therefore," but you didn't make an actual assertion, you just quoted me. Your point isn't self-evident, so maybe you should make it?
The meme references a historical event. If you took the use of the flag to mean the current iteration of the EU, that doesn't really feel like my problem. I'm neither you nor OP.
