Qualcuno sa perché qualcuno in Norvegia sventolerebbe questa bandiera??? Questa foto è stata di quest’estate quando la mia famiglia ha fatto un viaggio nella terra natale di mia madre. Sullo sfondo la montagna di Sandhornoya.

Most likely a “redneck” as they tend to overexaggerate on anything redneck.
It’s not unlikely that this flag is flown by someone who doesn’t understand what it means to many Americans.
Many naive Norwegians think it’s just a rebel flag, and they want to think they are rebels so there.

Idiots with minimal brain function.
Norwegian here. Bikers, hotrodders, and fans of certain music (country and/or old-school rock) tend to like that flag for the ‘rebel’ aspect rather than anything to do with racism. (Actual racists are more likely to go for Viking/Germannic symbolism.)
To many rural Norwegians, the confederate flag is a celebration of independence, personal freedom and a “positive poverty” kind of redneck culture, rather than a symbol of racism.
That’s not to say that the people who fly this flag can’t be racist shitheads, but they most likely aren’t consciously using the flag as a way to express that.

Jeeze… Norway has idiots too?
I know a couple that always has this flag up, they say it’s not racist or anything like that, it’s just a redneck american thing and they like american country music and american cars that use a lot of gas. I guess it’s just a coincident they are both raging racists.
Confederate flag a symbol embraced by failures in life 😆 It represents racism and usually weak men who lean to ignorance hard.
Some foreigners don’t know the meaning and dark history behind this flag, or they do know and are just plain ignorant, but funny thing is the south lost the civil war so basically they’re proudly waving a flag of surrender and being a loser lol…
Could be many things, most often it’s mental illness.
Just weird. Also, one time someone in the US complained about a house flying a Norwegian flag because they thought it was this Confederate flag.
Its not uncommon on the countryside, its a flag used in a lot of country music. Its associated with «Texas, cowboys, guns and amcars». Don’t overthink it
We have idiots in Norway too…
Some Norwegians are racist rednecks.
I went to Norway for a school a few years ago, and I remember seeing a house absolutely covered in Confederate flags and Texas merch. Very strange thing to see when you’re rail biking near Flekkefjord.
what in the hills have eyes?
You found the village idiot/racist
It’s started… Trump will take Norway too
/s
There is a guy at my son’s barnehage (daycare), who picks up/drops off his kid in a car with a big confederate flag thing hanging from his rearview mirror. He is Norwegian and I am American.
It is very jarring every time I see it… I haven’t really talked to him before other than “hi” in passing, but I just assume he has to racist 🤷♀️
traitor flag
To anyone saying that the people flying this flag doesn’t really understand its meaning, I believe you are a bit naive. Yes, it might be true that they really don’t understand the deep political and cultural context of civil war USA, and that this flag is used as a sort of symbol of old school American values and even in some cases being a rebel. But if you ask any of these people (in private) what they think about black/brown people, even immigrants, they will probably align politically with the people who flies the flag in the US.
I think it’s good. Let’s you know in no uncertain terms from a long distance that they’re assholes that should be avoided
I want to believe this was hung up by someone with really bad eyesight who thought it was the flag of Norway lol
These the guys raging about foreign flags being at full mast during our national holiday in Norway.
For reference the only foreign influence in Norway is Americana, and it’s cringe af
Som regel bruker folk det fordi det ikke er “innafor” å flagge med hakekors. Også unnskylder de det ved å si de er “rednecks”. De er bare for feige til å si hva de -egentlig- mener. Eller for dumme.. or both..
