Believe it or not, but this is the flag of Kekistan, a
non-existent mock nation promoted by Alt Right trolls on Twitter and elsewhere.
Unless I'm mistaken, Kekistan was originally intended as a parody on the Alt
Right, probably invented by a libertarian cyber-personality known as Sargon of
Akkad. However, the meme was quickly taken over by Alt Right trolls according
to the Gamergate principle “all your hashtags are belong to us” (bad grammar in
the original).
At the moment, Kekistan is a borderline Nazi symbol, as can be seen in this flag, which is clearly based on Nazi German models. The green color comes from another popular Alt Right meme, Pepe the Frog (originally a non-political comic character). Pepe is sometimes referred to as Kek, really the name of an Egyptian god.

I find it curious that Amazon sells Kekistani products, while still banning the Confederate flag…
