Is there a standard way of flying a flag of a nation in a way that represents the people rather than the state? (lemmy.world)

There's a nationality that has been hounded in my country by huge volumes of derogatory disinformation. I want to wear a flag pin supporting those people. But, their government at home is tyrannical and I'm not a fan of using the national flag for that reason. I'm struggling here with a way to clearly and visually show my support of this community.

No. Sadly the tyrants and fascists have destroyed any idea of actual patriotism that is not directly tied to a government or political party. Flags now fall under the strict jurisdiction of howling psychopaths and underhanded politicians. It's a sad day for us all
