The only thing that we know about the flag is that it a fiberglass flag, so he must be obviously criticising the allegedly benefits of fiber in the diet.

As seen by the raised fist, the man is angry because the operation Epic Fiber has caused a blockage just in the strait of Trump, so is a metaphor about the dangers of having too much nuts in the world. Banski has planned also that the flag ends totally white by seagull activity; so this, always evolving and deceivingly simple piece of art, gives us hope for a future restoration of the blockage soon before we end nuking everybody on the process.

Denouncing the raise to nuttionalism while providing hope for the future. A powerful message.

See?, this is art, everybody can sell anything with a little practice. If they can sell a banana taped in a wall, so you can too.

This seems like more bigotry against marginalized individuals and shouldn't be celebrated. The message here is that (the few) elites helping build a progressive society are doing it wrong.

What elites are pushing for a progressive society? Doubling down on rule by capital holders isn't progressive, we have already seen it before.

Now colour the flag rainbow colored. Or maybe black, white, green, and red. Or maybe white and red.

Whose flag is blinding whom?

Sounds like you are talking about the South African flag.

Isn’t there coverage on any other site with fewer ads and popups? I could literally barely navigate the article on my phone.
