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.

Upside down?

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I was under the impression that that represents a nation under distress. In this case, the issue is that immigrants from that country are being unfairly targeted. Going by yours and other replies, maybe I should find another cultural symbol.

Be careful with this one. In some countries it is illegal to fly flags upside down as it considered as dispersing national symbol
