Soylent Green People Mass Recycling Truck

 

A unique vexillological item in Soylent Green, set in a dystopian year of 2022, appears on the waste management vehicle.  As it was a rather low budget sci-fi movie, they just printed a design a slapped over the would have been official logo of the trash truck.  

One flag appears in the opening montage.  It looks like a pennant, that is impossible to discern.  It is jack of some sort; a jack is special type of flag flown at the front or bow of a ship.


The movies predicted the band Green Day would still be popular in the year 2022.  Just Amazing! Green Day needs to make a song called "Soylent Tuesday!"



It is so trippy look at a book from 1973 that shows the past from 2015 to 2019.  Back in 1973, 2022 seemed light years away.  From now, of the year 2022, that is like the year 2071!  Believe it or not much will have changed.  As Louis Zorich said in his seminal role of Chef Pete in Pete's Diner from The Muppets Take Manhattan, "Peoples are Peoples."

Somebody in 1973 must have been tripping on future somethings, because they hit the target that in 2022, people would wear masks.  But we don't all wear the same kind of drab clothes.  


 

The cool retro games of 1973! Apparently the rich man who had this in his apartment was video game collector, who could afford such a retro game in perfect condition.

Gary Larson Cat and Dog Battle Flags

 

Gary Larson had a short-lived animated show.  Larson is famous for the juxtaposition of ideas to make people laugh at the way things are.  In this case the army of cats and dogs fought each other.  Note that the cats have a flag somewhat similar to the Union, while the dogs have Confederate kind of flag, but instead of stars on bars, it is crossed bones. 

The finial of the cat flag is paw with nails extended, while the finial of the dog flag is tail.

Silesian Flag & Ukranian Flag - Fraternal Flag Partners


 

Europe is divided and united, depending on who you ask.  The flag for the Silesian Autonomy movement is balanced with the flag of Ukraine.  They are inverts of each other.  Right now, there is small yet very vocal minority of Selesians in Poland who want more autonomy, and a few who want to break away to become their own nation.  Selesians speak a dialect that is different for mainstream Polish.  Who knows?  Maybe in 50 years, as old nations of Europe devolve, perhaps Silesia will one day separate from Poland? 

Right now, in Ukraine it is undergoing a violent spasm of separation as induced by more powerful forces from within and across the world.  No doubt in 2072, fifty years from now, the Ukraine of today will look nothing like the Ukraine of 2072 and neither will Poland.

East Korea Flag & West Korea Flag

 


Let's face it the Koreas are not getting back together, nor will Luke, Han, and Leia ever get the band back together.  Two Koreas are needed for world balance, in fact we could use more Korea Power on his planet.  Why not an East Korea and West Korea!?  

All the Koreans that got stuck in Russia and the rest of Asia are the East Koreans who can fly the East Korea flag, while all the Koreans in the West have dibs on the West Korea flag.  Or maybe we can divide the DMZ into a West Korea with a slight tilt to the South and East Korea with a slight advantage to the North?  

Why stick with the same old rivalry?  Why not try something new! Koreans are the ultimate middlemen who can potentially broker peace between China and the West, as they have strong connections to the East and the West.  Don't overlook or ignore Korea!
