RULES

No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

Funnily enough, this flag ..
...is used by anti-government "cookers" and sovereign citizens.
Why? Dunno. It's for a ship registered as part of the Australian merchant navy. Cargo ships, cruise liners, etc.
Sovereign citizens have a weird obsession with archaic naval law (or their envisioning of it)
Admiralty law, and it stems from it being one the few areas of jurisdictions covered by federal courts per Art 3 sec 2 of the US Constitution.
Probably because sovereign citizens beliefs are defined by believing the very first piece of info they come across and then blocking out all other conflicting info for the rest of their life.
A tear for the southern Cross!
