Whose flag?

The Los Angeles Times reports,

    How the flags of Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala symbolize defiance against Trump’s L.A. raids.

Mere defiance? How about insurrection, revolution, sedition? By coincidence, tomorrow is (American) Flag Day. The headline of the non paywall version reads, less provocatively,

    These are some of the people flying flags during Los Angeles protests, and why they do it.

It’s a man-on-the-street interview piece. The Times reports,

    For eight days now, protesters have made their way to downtown L.A. to protest against immigration detentions in the city and the presence of the National Guard. Images of flags, mostly from Mexico, have spread in news reports and social media — at times drawing the ire of critics.

In addition to the Mexican Flag, I have seen the Salvadoran flag and Lebanese flag.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I've seen at least two Soviet flags and a dozen or so Chinese flags.
