      So not Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, or even Trinidad and Tobago, it must be a flag from nearly a century ago, if you squint real hard, and ignore the extra stripes and the fact they’re vertical instead of horizontal. It certainly can’t be because of the esthetics of broad vertical stripes and that black and white go with anything, meaning you only have to coordinate with one color. Nah, that’s unreasonable.

That looks like a convention center, they could be there for something else. I tried to find the location this was taken, but I’m not finding it.

                Well I happened to be there as a journalist from the EU and actually tried to interview this person because she caught my attention when she gave out free replicas of SS-Ehrenring rings to the other attendants. Just instead of the skull her rings had a small Trump head. She declined my interview request because, as she put it, I looked like I was “unwertes Leben”.

                So you should be really careful with your speculation and probably stick to your manga and anime, dum-dum!
