Yes I followed the link you gave, thanks for that.Hi @wholeself-in

I am unsure of the motive of the person who flagged you.
However If I was the kind of person who enjoyed flagging or saw it as a legitimate way of disagreeing with something, I would probably flag you as well lol. But I prefer to talk with people and do my best to understand their perspective.
From my perspective all wars are designed to increase the power and control of a small group of families. We are seen as their subjects and cattle. Most have no clue about the game they are playing. I really oppose any form of supporting wars or painting a heroic or noble picture of past wars. I think its time we woke up to the web of deceit and corruption that enslaves most of worlds population.

Sort:  

Since I already peeked back at some of your older comments to get a more well-rounded impression, I understand what you are saying about war. There are always casualties in a fight, and wars (both flag wars and real ones) tend to expand far beyond their intended targets.

I even think I'd tend to agree with you on governments, power, and control. I can not agree that war has no valid purpose. That disagreement is probably why we're having this conversion.

That memorial, however, is an effort to give solace to families of those killed, and acknowledge that their lives had meaning. Those lives are already lost, so to take the argument there is cruel.

That's why I questioned the flagging of that particular image. The flag was an indiscriminate revenge aimed at all posts by this person - in my opinion a terribly unethical use of the flag.

The flag on me was at least targeted, a disagreement. I wouldn't flag for that reason, but it's better than the abuse I was pointing out.
