Do you know these mysterious flags?? 

The Tamil Tigers were a terrorist organisation that occurred the north of Sri Lanka, as a Sri Lankan Tamil all they caused was harm.

As i look at the pic of it on the trailer im startin to think it is a the dress situation... As that white doesnt look quite white to me but i cant quite see it as clearly gold. Ofc, cud just be the gold strip has worn tho wud expect the colours to have faded more... Then again some colour dyes fade slower than others.

I was going to suggest sovereign citizens. Definitely fits the libertarian archetype, but it also looks like a variation of what could be a US state flag. Honestly it kinda looks like the flag of Belize sans emblem. And Porcfest isn't just a "libertarian camping trip". It's strongly associated with the Free State Movement. Many Libertarians see New Hampshire as the state that has the least taxes/infringes on their freedoms the least. The Free State Movement encourages Libertarians to move to New Hampshire on mass to influence New Hampshire politics to become more libertarian.

That makes sense as purple is the boundary marking color for "No Trespass / Private Property". I'm a fairly little "l" libertarian individual who looks at the LP as a clown car of "Individualists" who do little to move the needle towards liberty bc they spend all their energy virtue-signaling their "individualism" & arguing about who is the most pure. This highly obscure flag just goes to prove my point.

It is, itself, looking like a misappropriation of the US Coast Guard's Distinguished Service Medal's suspension ribbon. (the stripes are vertical on the ribbon, horizontal on the flag.) I immediately recognized the pattern as a ribbon rotated 90°. The stripe ratios are a dead match.

That joke was just flagrant!

AMEN!!!! I love this SO MUCH!!!

Nice

Good one!

Bro just posted cringe 💀

Most flags were probably terrorist flags at some point. The NC courthouse one could probably be counted as that.

@@breadman32398 rebel flags and terrorist flags I would argue are very different

@@drewjanus4643 i mean, what defines terrorist as opposed to rebel? The one from the video was very much a rebel/separatists flag for independence from Sri Lanka.

@@drewjanus4643 How?

Yes and WHILE STILL BEING A DIVISONAL GENERAL IN VENEZUELA BECAUSE SIMON BOLIVAR ACTUALLY TOLD HIM TO GO TO FLORIDA TO GET FUNDS

The Highlands MacGregors were known for their clan's profession: cattle thieving. So presumably this General MacGregor was breaking no cultural (handed-down) sanction on criminal grifts. I still enjoy the name of their 70s clan chief I met as a child, Sir Gregor MacGregor of MacGregor.

I was searching for a comment like this XD

-5 points to JJ's canadian credit

Gregor McGregor Scottish though, so one degree of separation from Canadian. No points docked.

🤣🤣 love this

4/10 Didn't speak enough Canadian-French.

@@themoviedealers Bingo! I used to live near Amelia Island, but when I heard the name Gregor McGregor I was not thinking Florida, but was actually expecting J.J. to make a Canadian connection joke.

Is pronouncing “Missouri” like that a Canadian thing or just a JJism?

@@fun_police8011 it’s common in older Missourians and the Midwest in general. You’ll rarely find anyone under 50 saying it in Missouri

I assumed it was something he picked up off Abe Simpson, "I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I regonise Missourah!".

@@balsawoodbones it awakens something deep within me that makes me cringe so hard every time he says it as someone from Missouri

As a born and raised citizen Missouri, I have heard three different ways of pronouncing Missouri. That is indeed one of them. Misery is another

i once identified the flag of texas when my grandpa showed me a picture

The three leg flag. It’s fun to annoy people with obscure knowledge. Particularly when you are a stoner and ironically know more than they do sober.

Same, I've surprised my parents with stupid flags or maybe a country on a map they couldn't tell the name of, etc etc, my response most the time is that I look at maps on a game for fun

I saw one too in my small town in southern Indiana on this woman's car i see the car once ina while at the store lol

Sicilian flag or Isle of Man flag, which is more bizarre?

Same

Wow, I usually only consume ginger as part of a Bento box meal. For me, sushi needs no complement. 😇

I'm going to start using that expression, "ginger to my sushi". I love it!!

@@PASH3227 no need to credit me :)

Damn school just ended for you? Then again we go back in early august

@@cursorguy yeah. It’ll be nice to relax for a little bit though. Even if literally everyone else got out before me

Yes! That’s how I knew what it was when he showed it!

So the CCP is also against the ROC relinquishing it’s claim to be the one true China? I see why Taiwan wouldn’t give this label up if they want to rule over all of China one day. But giving up the claim they have on 100% of the CCPs territory would be a good thing for China I would imagine. But then again I can see that as long as Taiwan continues to claim to be the “real China” then the CCP can continue to claim Taiwan as well since they’re both claiming to be China. Taiwan turning towards a pseudo indigenous Taiwanese independence ideology would probably make it much harder for CCP to take them over one day at least optically.

Omg that’s how I instantly knew that I literally watched that episode two days ago😂

@@HueyPPLong Yes it's true that CCP is against the idea of Taiwan changing their constitution and giving up its claims of Mainland China. Which is ironic because the CCP had always rejected the ROC's claim of the Mainland as well, where the CCP had actually refused to refer to Taiwan as the Republic of China, but instead refers to it as the "region of Taiwan"(臺灣地區) -- to signify that the ROC also shouldn't exist and Taiwan should be a part of the PRC. There has been a meme going on of the Taiwanese national identity that many people might be familiar with: Taiwan: I am China China: No, you're not Taiwan: Ok, then I am Taiwan China: No, you are China This essentially represents the ironic PRC-ROC situation, where originally ROC Taiwan's goal was to reinvade the Communist Mainland, but throughout the decades the Taiwanese had regained a new Taiwanese national identity. So nowadays the Taiwanese had largely abandoned the goal to reinvade the Mainland, instead people now just want to separate entirely from China and have their own independent country --- Taiwan instead.("One Country Each Side/一邊一國") So the Taiwanese today began to recognize the CCP as the legitimate China, only because they don't consider themselves as Chinese anymore, but this new national identity seems to upset China even further, because it's a kind of separatist movement. It seems like the ultimate goal of the CCP is to annex Taiwan as a part of the PRC. And I think that based on how bellicose the CCP has become during the past few years, they might actually use military force to invade Taiwan if the island were to actually change the constitution and renounce its claims on Mainland China. Which does sound really ironic because theoretically it would work in favor of the CCP's traditional rhetoric, but the CCP actually deems this as the most unacceptable policy that would trigger a war. As much as I support the Taiwanese I think that the safest condition for them would be for Taiwan to maintain the status quo. So that it could buy more time to keep strengthening its military capabilities and increase cooperation with the U.S., in order to defend itself from a future Chinese invasion. The status quo has been quite beneficial for Taiwan anyway, because it has been a de-facto independent country since 1945, and it was able to achieve economic development and also the citizens are able to enjoy the liberal democratic system independent from the CCP. I just fear that a war might make them lose all these things that they have at the moment.

I got east Asia almost immediately. Though i probably wouldn’t have guessed taiwan

JJ refers to everyone as "friends", even the Canadian parliament.

We're all friends here.

something that supports this claim is the "Free State Project" which was a somewhat failed attempt to have libertarians move to New Hampshire to try and make it a yellow state, and this flag was flown alongside the Gadsden flag. Perhaps this guy is a Free Stater who likes this specific design for new hampshire.

@@cr9057 PorcFest is a free stater festival

Yeah but purple has monarchist associations. Would be weird for it to be directly related to libertarianism. My guess is it relates to the Iroquois confederacy, perhaps some type of interest or endorsement of their method of organizing. Libertarians tend to fetishize Native American culture, and the Iroquois were a big influence on the founding fathers when designing the constitution. Also plays into the history of that area.

@@dstinnettmusic purple was associated with the libertarian right prior to the omni-presence of the Gadsden flag in the libertarian movement(leading to the yellow/gold). Old political compasses used purple for lib-right. I think it's like Communism and the American Republican party, red can mean many things and purple can too.

@@dstinnettmusic It would not be that weird for monarchist to be found among libertarians, with a good amount of them preferring it over democracy.

The Tigers have lost, so their organisation is at least changed and different from the time

Probably got something to do with the recent economic collapse in Sri Lanka & the massive protests there.

Also popularly known as LTTE

They were extremists and even assassinated one of most loved prime ministers of India I don't really remember what the cause of conflict between them and India at the time was but you get a real bad name after pulling off something like that

@@bonifacemathew2463 bruh. They are a liberation army. They did what all liberation armies did. Also "most loved" lol .. far cry. Also, ex PM . And he was withdrawing support and fighting the LTTE instead of defending them from SL army. First go find a history book and not congress propoganda.

I'd consider beige a sub color of brown but the rest are about right

@@syryquil lfob v

I never considered how different cultures see color, I’d be very interested to learn about it

In Russian I believe light blue and dark blue are regarded as different colours

@@syryquil i think beige is bordering on its own thing. There are things that are beige (sand, acomputer from the 80s) that we wouldn't really call brown, but instead beige

Yeah much needed

never seen it. from charlotte.

I live in the banks and I ain’t seen one.

the earl who is namesake to guilford was earl of the city of Guildford in Surrey, England. (gildfud)

Used to live near Guilford courthouse, they definitely displayed it there, but rarely saw it outside of the courthouse area

I live near Guilford and haven't heard of it until now. Granted, I don't leave the house much...

Yeah I'm indian and i instantly recognized ltte flag

Another thread said it's for a movement called the American National Union. They apparently have a youtube channel, but I'm concerned if I click on it my youtube recomendations might get crazy.

I would say way more than a slight chance. Among politically-active and/or very-online Indian Tamils, it's fairly common to be supportive of or at least sympathetic towards the LTTE. And all kinds of emotions have been flaring up recently due to the economic crisis in Sri Lanka.

There are far more tamils in india than in srilanka so he was statistically more probably indian

tbh if i walked past that i would've assumed it was something to do with foot fetishes

I grew up in Columbia and went to MU so yeah cool to see a place I knew in a video for tve first time

I know, right? Ive always seen it down on stadium, but never bothered to look it up

I drive past it pretty much everyday! Agree it's cool to see something just down the street from me on this channel

@@Ray_Vun Unfortunately, that's a fair assumption these days. Lot of folks trying to make kinks a big thing in the community

To pitch in, I'm from coastal Virginia and have traveled down to Florida now and again for my whole life. this is my first time hearing anything but Missour-ee. I suppose it's a more northern pronunciation.

That was very intriguing to me also

@@willyeeton4390 Every other Canadian I know calls it's Missour-ee. I think he's just trying to say it as he thinks a local would.

He's doing it to generate comments

I'm from the Kansas City area and I never really hear it said that way around here and assumed it was a southeastern thing lol. Made me cringe every time he said it that way

This is actually significantly less JJ than usual

@J.J. McCullough Oh well. Shorts and Twitter fill in the gaps.

His videos are usually around 15-30 mins long lol

looking into it more the ANU also seems to be affiliated with conspiracy theory stuff about the WHO and LGBTQ+ community being satanic in nature, though I can't tell if it's part of the same organization or the guy I found just uses the flag and similar name

Most cross flags are used by several places/people, Saint George's cross is used by England, Genoa, Milan and others, and the Amelia Island flag is almost identical to that of the Order of Saint Lazarus.

I agree. Especially interesting is how the meaning of different flags can change regardless of historical context. Also nice flag find.

The DPP is a big-tent party, there are both social conservatives and social liberals in the party. Independence-status quo-unification is a bigger division than left-right in Taiwan.

The Kuomintang has NEVER stopped calling itself the Chinese Nationalist Party.

@@BBarNavi I'm well aware.

Yeah it was nice to see Hashing on such a global platform considering how underground the sport can be. on-on.

Doing G’s work right here!

Interesting!

The Tamil Tigers were having a bake sale at my uni in southern Ontario years ago. When they approached me to donate I told them to f-off because they were a terrorist group and the university should ban them from trying to fundraise on campus. Got a few dirty looks from people who were unaware who the LTTE were.

Glad I am not the only one that got triggered by that lol

No he pronounces it perfectly

@@trexthethird4622 only time people use the A with me are folks who knows their mispronounciation triggers me Such is life

just because only country folk use it doesn't make it wrong. It's older, more traditional, and certainly used FAR LESS these days... just as accents tend to fade away, the local pronunciations have been more or less smothered. Let me say this, my late grandparents are both from Missouri and have names whose spellings don't really appear to match their sound in "General American." But a name is a name, and both use the same general old school pronunciations that give us Missourah. So just as I'd defend their names, I think I'd defend the fact that people use both MissouREE and MissouRUH. Cheers.

The Free State Project’s Flag is the same as the Don’t Tread On Me Flag with a porcupine in place of the snake though

I believe it was just from “Politics”

@@JJMcCullough thanks JJ

That’s what I thought immediately

I know! And then purposefully follows it up by accentuating the SHIRE part of “New Hampshire”

Oh yeah I forgot it’s right next-door

Intriguing!

Oh wow that reply was unexpected I just wanna say nice video J.J. I love all of your content

I remember seeing that! Seeing it in this video unlocked that memory

@@tessewact Yeah I have been trying to find the post again but I am not great at navigating Reddit

Btw the flag is the American National Union flag I’m pretty sure

Definitely not the case, i assume it would resemble the bisexual flag more in that case. And the venn diagram of people who would fly the Gadsden flag and a pride flag doesnt overlap much

It’s the American National Union flag I believe

He probably learned his pronunciation of the state from Grandpa Simpson: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hc0-TpBUOUo.html

Really? It sounds normal to me as a Kansan; I hear older people in the KC metro call it that all the time. Although, to be fair, dunking on Missouri is a Kansas pastime, so maybe they do it precisely because it makes Missourians uncomfortable.

as an european, i'm curious about the normal pronounciation by those who are from it. i've always just said it how it's spelled, missoree, sorta like misery but with an o instead of an e

@@Ray_Vun I’ve always pronounced it and heard it pronounced as “misery” but with the stress of the “ser” part instead of the “mi” part

@@Ray_Vun oh I would love to see Europe. It’s always been on my bucket list. But yeah, as far as Missouri pronunciation goes, the people that live here and put an “ah” at the end also pronounce Washington as “Warsh-ing-ton”. I don’t know where the “r” comes from in that case and I’m Missouri’s case I’ve always treated the “i” at the end like you do with most other words that end in an “i” like spaghetti, ravioli… always an eeee

One thing I find funny is the aparent randomness of american state names and borders to outsiders. I'm Portuguese, most american states are bigger and more populated than Portugal, and yet, they seem so... underrepresented. One thing I like to do is just get to google maps and find a new city in the US/canada. For instance, today I was checking one village in that little thing of oklahoma. Its so random.... I can't express the feeling... I also like to think, if people also check my area on google maps.

@@Duck-wc9de Yeah, I kind of feel a two way relationship with American identity in this respect. The USA is mentioned everywhere all the time, so those mentions are impersonal the vast majority of the time. Yet if someone mentions Missouri, I get more excited wondering what they had to say. I suppose may be a similar feeling as what those who live in smaller countries feel when they are mentioned.

@@jayl9387 this^^^^

What a dumb philosophy

I feel that enforcing strong morals would negatively effect the free market by definition so this is nonsense

Kaitlin Bennet is just some maga chick who says she's libertarian because she likes guns or whatever. Too many of them.

@@JJMcCullough Hi JJ, it's the flag of "The American National Union of The United States of America"
