Great that the town did this, but seeing it with the POW/MIA flag is crazy

      The POW/MIA flag is legally required to be flown on some government properties because of some people who believe that the viet cong are still torturing US POWs from Vietnam, and that the us govt is covering this up. It’s wild

        It’s so insane they passed this into law and in like 2019 too. Like apart from the stupid conspiracy theory, the flag looks like the ISIS flag, its so fucking ugly. Why people don’t complain more that this thing is flying over every post office is beyond me.

        I saw one flying on the courthouse in Brooklyn and then had to try to explain it to my wife. Give it a try some time. You sound like pepe-silvia

          I never feel so deranged as when I’m just casually explaining easily verifiable facts that sit outside of mainstream view (because they go against the grain)

          Like that leaked(?) memo about the Obama admin labeling all dead military aged males “enemy combatants”

            And by “military aged,” they mean like 13-35.

        Lmfao, what a joke country. I visited the us a few months ago and was excited to see a pow-mia flag in the wild, at the time I thought it was just the town I was in showing off their brainworms but it turns out it’s the whole dang country flying these flags

    Can’t believe that North Andover, one of the WASPiest towns in Massachusetts, is doing this, maybe there’s hope
