Re: Jolly Roger, Pirates and Political Correctness

Why the ‘One Piece’ flag [Jolly Roger] is being hoisted across the world

From Nepal to Indonesia, protestors are waving the pirate flag, from “One Piece”, the best-selling Japanese manga.

The 'One Piece' Jolly Roger is being hoisted, globally, as a symbol of resistance, against government oppression, and corruption, particularly in countries like: Indonesia, Nepal, and France.
The Straw Hat Pirates' Jolly Roger, from the anime, has been adopted by protestors, especially younger generations, to express a desire for freedom, and a willingness to challenge the status quo, drawing parallels to the series' themes of liberation, and defiance.
