  It is universal. The flag, the state, the man. Details don't matter.

    In the context of UK politics, and given Banksy's previous socio-political work, this statue is probably a response to 'the nationalists': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Raise_the_Colours https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Raise_the_Colours

      Which are not very nationalists nowadays. Its mostly "we want to keep western values and culture".. which now is high treason i guess..

        It's mostly about dismissing most of modern Western culture as "woke nonsense" whilst demonstrating fealty to the idea of it by showing they hate foreign cultures even more...

  Flags overwhelmingly represent nations, groups considering themselves nations, that were nations or have some kind of individual governmental status. If you asked 100 people to imagine a particular flag to attach to that statue, 95% of them are going to be current, unrecognized, or former states.

        Or, on the other side of it, you can imagine it's the flag of some group you dislike, one you think is full of ideologues.
• kergonath 6mo ago
  It does not matter. Any ideology can be followed blindly to one’s ruin. Nationalism is common, but there are others.

  I’d say what matters is whether it matters to you. What difference does it make in the outcome?
• Findecanor 6mo ago
  Why could it not mean multiple flags at once?
