Since the 2016 Election a new flag has arisen from the Internet, a flag whose genesis stems from a meme and has become something larger than its initial parody: the KEK Flag. KEK originally met LOL in an online video game, World of Warcraft. But due to strange synchronicity with Pepe the frog, it has become an iconic kind of meme flag. In another parody, we have the KEK flag translated for lay audiences, with colours and one of its original meanings as LOL.
Kekistan Flag - A Virtual Republic of the Internet
The KEK Flag is a popular trolling meme magic flag that has captured the imaginations of the internet and lays beyond the comprehension of the mainstream media. Somewhat of a joke flag, it is being taken very serious by some on extreme ends. A flag that conveys: internet trolling, LOL, Pepe the Frog, 4Chan, Meme Majik, the World of War Craft, and a hint of a forlorn Nazi Naval flag- a very odd combination indeed. LOL
Right now, as of 2017, there are a limited number of Emoji Flags that you can send. Of Emojis that are flags we have the: checker, yellow pennant, and two black flags, two white flags. There is one horizontal tribar of white-black-white. Incidental flags also appear with other item Emojis like a red pennant on the circus big top tent, another red pennant on a golf course, and the grey mailbox mail-indicator flags.
Surely soon more flag colours will appear and a needed rainbow flag. Yet to come: orange, green, purple, pink, brown, and others.
Pepe the Frog has become something of an Internet institution these days. A harmless cartoon character from Boy's Club that grabbed the public's attention during the 2016 American Election, when it was spotlighted with a negative light by the Hillary Clinton Campaign. In the previous 2012 election, Pokemon had grabbed the attention of the media, when a contender for the Republican ticket quoted this show- Herman Cain.
But a frog is just a frog, as symbol is just a symbol. The swastika in East Asia and India is deeply tied to Buddhism and Hinduism and one can find it on many serene temples and peacefully sacred sites. Its association with Nazi Germany is only fleeting, from that side of the world. Yet when presented in the West, it is a symbol that conjures up extremely sad emotions and an ugly history.
Likewise it's rather odd that a silly cartoon could become such a paramount icon for the 2016 election, showing the rift in culture and understanding between the Internet and modern day legacy media.
The flag above is the Pepe Republic flag based upon the a mash up of the California State flag with the iconic Pepe. Oddly Pepe has been tied up with some enchanting Internet synchronicity to 1986, right after Clinton spoke about Pepe.
Another soul from the Silent Generation, the Original Auntie M. Here she is standing in front of the WWII Victory Flag of 48 Stars.
She had a short stint for the FBI, and had a deep love for her birth nation. A not so silent generation, that did not get a presidential leader, nonetheless they saw the America of America-Rise; to see her rise and shine her lights to inspire the world.
The Silent Generation maintained the bar and set the theme for the classic American-Rise traditions from the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. American vacation's with the family were thier hand-off that we should not squander, and never forget.
The U.S.H. flag is for the United State of Happiness. This the open state of mind that many people end up at, when severe happiness takes over. The stars around the face denote that this land has no borders and all are welcome, from time to time.
This flag originates out of the American Pursuit of Happiness. If you are not there or want to enter this state, all you have to is wave this flag and change of few words that appear in the pledge of allegiance. Trust me, you'll know which words to change. It'll be the ones that make a smile appear on your face.
Sometimes it's hard to enter a state of happiness, but with this flag you can easily enter this state and by saying: "Makalakalika low, good bye you silly schlomo, I am happy because you are sappy, and alone you do, and happiness will stick to you like glue."
The French West Africa heritage flag is for the nations that were once a part of the superstate of Africa that existed from 1895-1958. The official flag was a French Flag, but in order to distinguish this entity from France this flag enables one to do so. France was able to weave the French language and Catholic Church deep into the fabric of these nations. It's only fitting that they have a unique flag that honors France and honors Africa.
The first capital was at Saint Louis but was later moved to Dakar in 1902. This super-state connected several modern African nations, and perhaps several more yet to be born in the near future.
Why a heritage flag? Well the official flag was the flag of France. Many bad events and many good event occurred due to French "adoption". In the end it is more so for the respect of French West African heritage, whose identity is now perpetually tied to France.
