Stop it, New York Times. This isn't going to unify the nation.
Unless you're prepping for a new design for whatever empire replaces the constitutional republic of the United States of America.
The New York Times, in its incessant attempts to remake American history and compartmentalize the American people, offered six new designs for the American flag,
"The American flag is a potent piece of national iconography, but its design shifted frequently until the early 1900s. What if it were redesigned today? We asked artists and graphic designers to try," the Times opined last week. "Some are functional designs, others artistic renderings; some represent America as it could be, others how the artist sees the country now."
Let's remember that these are the woke folks who brought us the fictional 1619 Project in an attempt to reframe history to be in line with their religious beliefs.
Here are some of the designs:
First, whatever this is.
This is literally a hodgepodge of every ideological flag they could think of. It's completely nonsensical, but that's kinda the point with this post-post modern crud.
If you're wondering, this combines the flags for "Lift Every Voice and Sing," BLM, Don't Tread On Me, In God We Trust, Thin Blue Line, Under God, Our Vindicator, Keep America Great, and Progress Pride.
Next up:
No, your computer or phone are not out of focus. This is literally a smudged American Flag.
The artist for this one says this: "The familiar symbolism falls out of focus, giving way to something ambiguous, vague, and difficult to define."
So stunning. So artistic. What if we took something with an ornate, beautiful design, and then pixelated and blurred it beyond belief? Genius!
Third:
LOL! Can you imagine flying this around the world. We'd look like Viggo Mortensen with his race horse's banner in the film "Hidalgo."
The artist for this one says it "acknowledges the emotions that informed where our country has been and the spirit of where it might go," with the colors representing the past, future, potential, systemic racism, and environmentalism.
That's totally a unifying banner right there!
The next one stands for "unity, valor, and justice":
The reason it's monochrome is that it shows how America is "surrendering to its fall from power and loss of the ideals it once stood for."
You might as well say, "Hey guys, let's fly a flag that depresses all of us!"
At least the next one is trying to unify us... around the color purple, that is.
My goodness. Ancient empires without paper used to make better designs than this junk.
There's also this one, which is just a kaleidoscope version of the current flag (with a ton more stars) and a whole lot more confusing:
Just stop it, New York Times. Leave it alone. If you want to redesign a flag for the Woke World Order and start your own country, go ahead and do it.
The rest of us will keep using the design we have now, thanks!
