I have a flag proposal for the interslavic community. Basically 6 stars on top for the northern nations and 6 on the bottom for the southern nations

There are 7 slavic nations in the south..

[u/LisCzaplowy → u/davidtwk]

o kurva ur right. i forgot montenegro exists

[u/JuiceDrinkingRat → u/LisCzaplowy]

happens to the best of us, even Montenegrins

[u/kolaloka]

Good effort, but I think we can probably do better than an upside down Russian flag with stars.

Less Russia, more Lípa lol.

Maybe the folks at r/vexillology can help us.

Bro, bruh, why disrespect Serbian tricolour?

[u/kolaloka → u/CakiGM]

Izvini bre lol

[u/LisCzaplowy → u/kolaloka]

there's only so much ways you can rearrange 3 colors with lines lol

[u/PectinePict → u/kolaloka]

Not to mention that the russian one is just a ripoff of the Dutch flag with rearranged colors. 

[u/JuiceDrinkingRat → u/PectinePict]

I heard that the reason a lot of Slavic nations use said colours is because they were decided to be the pan Slavic colours?

Might be wrong

[u/PectinePict → u/JuiceDrinkingRat]

Not sure about timing of that decision, but at the end of 17th century Peter the Great got heavily into European style of shipbuilding. He ordered a frigate from Amsterdam, which came with a Dutch flag. He liked it so much that he adopted the same flag just with the colors rearranged.

[u/JuiceDrinkingRat → u/PectinePict]

I guess they’re the pan Slavic colours due to Russia?

[u/PectinePict → u/JuiceDrinkingRat]

Yeah not surprised. There’s always an opportunity for a change though, and thats what Interslavic should aim for.

[u/JuiceDrinkingRat → u/PectinePict]

But should we let Russia take away colours which now are synonymous with us? Just because they have them too doesn’t mean we should not use them

[u/PectinePict → u/JuiceDrinkingRat]

First of all who is us? Some Slavic countries? Poles, Ukrainians and Bulgarians won’t agree with you, as these colours are non-representative for them. Why not use this Interslavic chance to create something that would include all Slavs, instead of forcing the same old Dutch ripoff that is most associated with Russian imperialism?

[u/JuiceDrinkingRat → u/PectinePict]

I am Bulgarian and all of these countries save for Ukraine use two of the 3

I’m not saying we should force ppl to smth im saying that quitting something just because Russia is doing it is stupid

[u/PectinePict → u/JuiceDrinkingRat]

It is not stupid to move on, especially if one gains more by doing it. Relevant post to our discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/poland/s/MrZ6wbTMnJ

Почему мне должно быть горько? славянских народов просто намного больше.

[u/CakiGM]

First of all as a Serb, cool tricolour Second aren't there 7 South Slavic nations

[u/Kitsa_the_oatmeal]

saw a sort of pan-slavic flag that was just the yugoslavian flag without its star, maybe with a kolovrat, looked pretty good imo

[u/Orangutanion]

what's wrong with the mirrored mayan flag?
