If you are concerned about privacy, profiling, or possible tracking from focusing on content related to this on your Reddit account, feel free to use throwaways such as those ran through Tor proxies. The Tor Browser is an easy way to some security for that. An even more secure option is to use Tails with Tor, but requires more skills to implement. Please do research these options. If you are in a state or nation where your internet activities can put you in risk, please use these tools for your own safety, and never log into the Reddit account you made for this without these protections. If you start a Reddit account through these avenues, and find yourself unable to post here, please message the mods and we can help you get temporary access until your account is established.

#The upside down planet Earth:

In the USA, flying our flag upside-down is a sign of distress; an SOS; a plea for help. From Wikipedia:

"Flying an American flag upside down is not necessarily meant as political protest. The practice has its origin in a distress signal; displaying a flag in this manner is "a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property"; it has been used by extension to make a statement about distress in civic, political, or other areas."

At the rate things are going, a whole lot of nations need something like this.
