There is no official meaning for the yellow fringe

Isn't there a rather silly conspiracy theory that believes the fringe has some deep meaning?

Something to do with 'Sovereign Citizens' who believe the law doesn't apply to them unless they consent as well as a few other weird ideas.

A similar subculture exists in the U.K. and Australia called 'Freemen on the Land'. And there's a German equivalent too.

Bonkers people but with a pernicious internet presence.

My pleasure Vincent, anytime.

Yes, in fact there was jon, on Instagram, the conspiracy was that the yellow fringe means the Constitution is suspended.
It was fact checked by PolitiFact and they said: False

I saw another one. Something about the 'Sovereign Citizen' movement and some unhealthy connection to what they described as the 'law of the sea'. They mentioned flags with fringes a few times, as well as describing birth certificates as berth certificates and pointing out that part of a courtroom is the dock.

Nutters the lot of them however a look online brings plenty of mentions of them.

" Sovereign citizens also claim that the appearance of gold fringes on American flags that are displayed in courtrooms is"

[quote=jon357]American flags that are displayed in courtrooms..."
...are military flags. I know because I went to the courthouse in DuPage County a while back and asked to see their catalog of flags.

Civilian flags never have a yellow fringe.

Why are their flags in courtrooms?

Next you'll be saying that schools display them too and that public buildings have pictures of your President on the wall like they do in Turkey.

Flags used to be mandatory in every school, and presidential pictures while not mandatory in US schools used to be seen in nearly all school administration offices and school board offices. But the woke leftist fvcks too those out, took the pledge of allegiance out, and brought tranny coxuckers in to brainwash children. And then they wonder why home schooling and private school enrolment is on the rise.

Seems sensible. It sounded all very cultish.

@Lenka
And is singing the Polish anthem cultish? Or singing any anthem? Saluting a flag of your country is cultish too? It teaches children honor and respect. A lack of honor, respect, and family values is what is tearing society apart. There is a lot to be said about traditions for countries and families. I know my family traditions are some of what holds our family together even during trying times.

The Woke leftist fvcks are the cult that is dumbing down and destroying what made America great.
They want to drag America down to their misery level so everyone has to share it with them.
Their way just doesn't seem to be working so well to make things better, only worse.

Singing an anthem, saluting the flag etc has it's obvious values but in certain situations, settings. Doing if during important state events, holidays sports etc is one thing. Making kids pledge allegiance at school etc- weird and cultish
johnny reb 49 | 7,207
10 Feb 2024 #853
No, it teaches children values and respect that is lacking in the world today so what is so weird about that ?
Teaching them your Woke b.s. confuses them to the point they don't even know which bathroom to use. 👱‍♀️

I have to agree with Lenka on this, I consider myself patriotic. I love anthems, military marching musics, uniforms the whole schebange.

Singing on important dates in school is fine in my book.

But saluting every morning to your flag, say a «pledge» while telling visiting guests they don't need to feel obliged to do the same.

I does give out the wibe of a cult.

I would place Lenka on left side of politics, myself on centre-right/right-wing depending on context. (Lenka feel free to correct me if I am wrong)

When we both agree, THAT should tell you something

I agree if that were the case but it is not.
I think you may be sensationalizing a quite a bit here Mr. G.
Firstly, Nobody salutes the flag every morning in our schools here in America that I know of.
Secondly if you don't want to sing the National Anthem while others do, you don't have to.
It's not a requirement.

I would place Lenka on left side of politics,

I consider her an intelligent woman and that is why I can't understand why she is so bull headed about the obvious sometimes.
I guess it is a British thing of hers.

Tradition in the United States, is critically important for a country not even 250 years old yet. Saying a pledge, especially in schools funded by state and federal dollars, is a tradition. Not everyone is obligated to do it. It is a better tradition to carry on than having drag queen reading hours that parents get no right to object to and cannot pull their children out of. Parents can always chose to not have their kids in the "cult" if they want. That pledge though helps bring a sense of community and belonging to people, especially people who have family members in the military, and that is probably half of the US that has at least one family member serving. So is it too much to respect them and the fact if not for them the US wouldnt have a lot of what it has?

The womens national team for the US in football is the perfect example of karma having a way with disrespectful wokest thinking. The US national junior ice hockey team is the perfect example of how tradition can be something that brings and keeps people together.

I agree if that were the case but it is not.

Eurps don't have any sense of pride and havent a clue to what life is like being an American.

Go to Europe sometime and see how depressing most of them are.

They are not friendly at all and remind me of robotic people. The Brits have a good sense of humor, but mostly the rest of the Europeans are quite boring.

My problem with them is that they don't speak American. That's why we don't watch British movies.

My worry is that there are over 20 Moscows in the United States. What if he decides to hit Moscow and picks the wrong one...

A story it's hard not to like...

'Dangerous' Venezuelan migrant, 15, hangs his head in disgrace as he leaves Manhattan court in handcuffs after pleading not guilty to shooting female tourist, 38, in Times Square

The only missing part is a sobbing mom saying that he is a good boy who made a mistake...

Venezuela has taken a page out of Fidel Castro`s playbook and emptied their jails and mental institutions into the USA , thanks to the demented Biden.
