St. George's Cross/flag of England

>>2749435
It's a fucking cross, of course it's a Christian symbol.

I mean what is it usually thought of today, for example if you saw it would either A) England or B) Christianity/the crusades immediately pop into your head

I guess this falls under humanities, plus we've got ourselves a little vexillology so it is a /his/ worthy thread

Most people outside of the UK wouldn't associate it with England, they believe the union jack is the English flag, so they'd probably see it as some sort of Christian flag.

In the UK it is often associated with the far right and racist skinheads.

Cross = Christian
St. George = Byzantine soldier

There's nothing English about it.

Good. It means brownies won't hijack it like they have the Union flag.

I would asume it more with the knights templar/ crusades. For England they think of the Union Jack even if it's not the english flag.

American living in Britain here, I love the flag too but for some reason it's associated with skinheads. Saved the one in pic related after Antifa tore it down in London. I don't understand how Wales, Scotland and Cornwall can raise their flags but England's is racist somehow.

>Saint George was a soldier in the Roman Army
>Fought in the Holy Land
>This is his banner
>It became a symbol of Roman Britain and later England as a whole in spite of him never having set foot in Britain
>Legends of him or King Arthur slaying the dragon and saving the fair maiden (explaining Wales' flag; He was sometimes put in English lore even if he was never really here)
>Celebrated all across the traditional Christian world
>Also in Ukraine, Donetsk, Russia, and the Balkans as a symbol against Islamification, although they incorporate George into their own mythology, not necessarily with the flag, but with the ribbon or feast day

I know I butchered the history forgive me, I'm American

You're talking about people who hate themselves, and I don't mean hurr durr suicidal I mean they hate their people. They hate cis people. They hate straight people. They hate Christians. They hate people who want England to be for the English, and they especially hate white people. To them that flag represents all the things you said, but they view them as negatives.
