A review of a fake flag sold by Amazon.
This flag is probably a well-intentioned joke (or dank
meme). Koenraadistan doesn't exist, and the term "freien demokratur"
means "free fake democracy" in Dutch, Flamish or German. I've found
two mavericks on the web named Koenraad whom I first suspected might have
something to do with this banner, one a controversial scholar of comparative
religion with Hindu nationalist sympathies, and the other a Traditionalist and
supporter of the New Right. I mean, just the kind of guys you expect to pull a
stunt like this, right? However, I now suspect that the real mover and shaker
behind "Koenraadistan" is one Benutzer Koenraad, who registered the
flag design on Wiki Commons as his own work. Ha, busted! Originally, I assumed
we were dealing with some kind of revanschist German settler movement in
Namibia, so I suppose Mr Benutzer had me fooled for about three minutes or so. He he, no hard feelings.
