Whoever introduced political flags to Somalis had no idea the chokehold it’d have on Somalis

Garre got rid of its clan flag, hopefully this is the beginning of something good.

Course they did that flag looks pants

Reer Nunavut rep their flag heavy how is that not the same? Take a trip to Quebec those guys don’t even hang the Canadian flag up anymore everywhere you go it’s that shitty quebecois flag it’s a symbol of pride for them exactly like how the qabiil flags are just cause Ontario doesn’t use their flag doesn’t mean other provinces don’t. Also Canada is just one example tons of other countries use their state flags in a similar way.

Quebec actually has their own unique culture, language, history and heritage separate from the rest of the country. Their flag actually represents something more than a federal state drawn on qabiil lines in the last 2 decades.

I’m not gonna even consider Nunavut.

it has a population of 30,000. It has less people than a town in Somalia. Everybody in Nunavut could move to a neighborhood in Toronto and no one would notice. Who cares what they choose to identify as.

If there is any regional identity in a country, it is almost always because that region has a unique ethnic group or history separate from the larger nation.

I don’t think there is another country that has overwhelmingly 1 people and everyone would rather identify with their imaginary made up states over their country.

what is the difference between some guy in puntland and some guy in galmudug besides imaginary drawn borders? Why should they be waving 2 different flags?

Somalis barely have a history let alone the qabiils

 

[Jaffar]

You’re just a deracinated diasporan who’s possibly of ignoble origin, common scum so to speak.

You can throw all the insults and epithets you want. It doesn’t really change much.

Somalis have a history when you look at all Somali feats and accomplishments as a whole. If you go by qabiils, it becomes so separated that there’s barely anything of substance per qabiil.

the worst part is, Somali history predates the majority of qabiils. I mean how old even is habar gidir.

they’re at most a few hundred years old. And a few hundred years ago their population was at most in the handful of thousands.

we need to be serious and realize that qabiil —relatively speaking— is a modern concept.

You’re not an intellectual, you know nothing, habr gidir aren’t even somali. Go hit them books and get your head out your backside.

 

[Caaro]

You’re not an intellectual.

I never claimed to be. Is this some sort of projection?

habr gidir aren’t even somali.

the specific qabiil is irrelevant, I can make the same argument of any qabiil you consider Somali.
