Take Back The Flag!

This is a call to arms! Or rather a call to words, or perhaps pictures.
You see today is the Swedish national day, and Sweden as so many other countries out there is plagued by nationalistic right wing extremism, which in turn is besieged by left wing extremists. Hate versus hate. And so hate breeds hate. People get profiled either as any of these three groups, Foreigners, racists or violent anti racists.
I say it's a trend we need to break and thus I offer this call to pictures. The idea as a campaign against hate in all it's forms we shall reclaim the old patriotic symbols not as symbols of superiority of us and inferiority of others but as what they should be, sources of pride, in the best sense of the word. The foremost of these symbols is the flag. So let the flag be the icon of what we try to do, Let's take back the flag from the extremists, not as an act of hate but as restoring it to what it should never have ceased to be.

Let it represent unity not division.

Let it represent hope not despair

Let it represent pride not guilt or shame

Let it represent love not hate.

What I ask of you is that whoever you are, wherever you are that you during your national day post a picture on social media of your countries flag with the hashtag #TakeBackTheFlag.
So here's the view from my window:

Let the flags parade here not opposed but united as equals for a more open and more understanding world.
 Until next time folks!
