In the first one I was a high school student, our class was at my hometown's train station. A classmate told Pam Bondi to fuck off, she was about to tell security to arrest him, and I had found the guts to also throw insults at her and start a chant. The whole class joined in and we ran after her, chasing her out of town, then barricading the streets to the station against the police after dark. Idk why she was there, I live in the Netherlands.

My mom initially liked Bondi but only knew her from inoffensive things outside politics, she reacted shocked to me telling what I did, but when I told her that she was the head of ICE (she was so in the dream) and behind the deportations she went: "Oh, damn..." Unfortunately IRL she likes far-right girlbosses like Alice Weidel and regurgitates anti-immigrant, "law and order" rhetoric despite being a post-Soviet immigrant herself.

In the second dream I was at a conference of various Western ghouls, presidents and prime ministers, which I felt was inspired by the photo in this post. The first one was a eurofederalist and unveiled a flag for it which was the outline of Greece and western Turkey in the EU flag colours (like in the thumbnail). Luxembourg proposed a flag that was just theirs with random patterns added, the Dutch proposed the orange-white-blue former flag of the Dutch Republic which is now a symbol of Dutch white nationalists, similarly to Australia's old "Eureka Flag".

An American woman proposed a new writing system which was just a random cipher a kid would have come up with, with some vowel/consonant combos given their own symbols that approximated the heads of cats and cows. And it's specifically for writing in tax forms.

The Pope was introduced as the "Lucifer King". I told someone that "Lucifer" has multiple meanings not all related to the Devil and that I found it confusing, to which I added: "Ironic, because the Devil is who speaks in riddles." I was in a different train station in that moment, it looked a bit like the image below: bare-bones platforms, thin, open metal arched roof, but it also had nice mosaics in the arches. Like it was frozen in the early Industrial Revolution without modern renovations.

incredible bit for eurofederalism to just be greece and turkey. who needs that heap of useless french and germans

now a symbol of ... white nationalists, similarly to Australia's old "Eureka Flag"

god this makes me fucking seethe, because it's a more long-running symbol for our trade unions from when they were much more militant and effective, as well as having a place in anti-monarchy sentiment.

although, i guess the eureka rebellion faltered due to anti-irish bullshit and the fallout was decidedly anti-chinese, but i still fucking hate that the flag was a symbol of worker solidarity and still got converted into some white pride bullshit in such a planned manner

Here the "Prinsenvlag" doesn't even have that progressive backstory, the Dutch "Republic" was basically a confederacy that got consolidated into an elected-but-in-fact-hereditary head of state from the House of Orange-Nassau. It's the flag of the "Dutch Golden Age" when Dutch imperialism was at its peak.

is that flag/map an Aegean or Balkan federation?

[–] huf@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago

looks like the core area of "ancient greece", more or less.
