Upper left is the true confederate flag
- The only one that mattered.
- Got em!
- Is this a joke or are you saying they should have put a flag up too?
  
  White flags are the sign for surrender
  
  They lost.
  
  It’s a very funny joke. A white flag was literally their flag. It caused some issues when they tried to surrender and kept getting shot. So, they had to up their design game.
- Above left lives a gay African-American Jazz trumpeter

Top left tenant just gave up
- No, they're French
  
  Oh bonne mère du bon Dieu, qu'est-ce que tu viens de dire sur moi ? Je te ferais remarquer que j'ai fini premier dans ma classe de CAP de boulangerie à Navarrenx, et j'ai gagné de nombreuses fois le prix de la meilleure baguette du Béarn, et j'ai plus de 300 citations dans la République des Pyrénées. J'ai reçu une spécialisation en pâtisserie et fait un stage dans un grand restaurant étoilé. Pour moi tu n'es qu'un client parmi d'autres. Je te vendrai des chocolatines comme tu t'en n'en as jamais goûté, souviens t'en. Tu crois que tu peux t'en sortir avec ce genre d'insultes sur l'Internet ? Essaie encore, gros balourd. Pendant que nous discutons, je suis en train de contacter mon réseau de maisons du pain dans tout la France et ton identité est partagée, donc tu peux te préparer à une avalanche de gâteaux, gros malin. Une avalanche qui va te faire prendre 10kg. Tu vas devenir obèse mon ptit gars.
  
  France has one of the best military records of all time:
  the French participated in 50 of the 125 major European wars that have been fought since 1495; more than any other European state.
  In addition, out of all recorded conflicts which occurred since the year 387 BC, France has fought in 168 of them, won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10.

- Thats the bro they get their weed from and regularly invites them together for a sesh. Single handedly keeping the peace in the building. Real guru that one.
  
  Fuck that guy, don't sell to rebs.
- Apparently this is what makes someone turn neutral.
  
  I hope they’re not one of those fascism-leaning “centrists”

Meanwhile, on a somewhat normal day in Belgorod, Russia; things got very tense for a woman who hung a blue blanket out to dry, on an orange balcony. The FSB had her take it down after enraged neighbours called in to complain.
- Wtf...imagine living in such a country
  
  I'm not saying it's exactly the same, but I've heard of American kindergarten teachers being told to take down the color learning rainbow decor which were NOT pride flags because bigoted parents threw a huge fit about the gay decorations. I've seen unironic videos of people claiming any decor featuring a rainbow in a classroom is LGBTQ indoctrination. And they were pointing at cartoon depictions of the sky, like with smiling clouds and suns.
- Look at that fancy people on the upper floors having AC and the only nice balcony
- There is no war in Ukraine.
  
  Ah yes a "special military operation"
- Fsb time, no time to think, just imagine, this must be something bad!
  Fsb money, I am very communist however, everyday the McDonalds man comes closer to mother Russia, and the hole in my pocket grows bigger.

It's neat how they include both Confederate flags

I am more stressed out about the construction of the building. Looks like a basket weaver decided to lay some bricks.
- Partially AI generated "photo"?
  
  Definitely AI generated. Look at the bottom-right of the Confederate flag. It’s all messed up, classic generative AI “artifacting” for lack of a better word for it.
  Edit: lower down in the thread the original was posted. This was upscaled (very poorly) by AI.
  
  I don't think so. I saw this back some time before COVID.
  This one may be generated by I've definitely seen a picture like this
  
  Good call!
- Ai generated

Plot twist: it’s the same house
- Have you not heard of appartments before?
  
  he probably has, but it could still be for 1 person

I support the guy with the white flag. I surrender too.
- He's French. But at least he's having a laugh with his neighbours in a daily basis I bet

Who took a photo of this community?
- Shop a stock photo meme on the top left, and it's dead on.

the blank white one is a Linux user
- Just looks like a second confederate flag to me.
  
  Or France
- Ah, blackout blinds.

This is the depiction of the building in Vienna in 1914 when Stalin, Freud, Tito and Trotsky lived. Can't wait for the Netflix comedy adaptation.

Even France is there

Top left, blinds down, is obviously a vampire.

I'm guessing some student housing thing
- Looks more like a wicker basket to me
- Helaman Halls at BYU. A lot of the student housing had fun post-it art or a variety of national flags in the windows, at least as of a few years ago.

To left is the neutral planet from Futurama

Test comment

I identify with the top left window

Is the white one for supremacy?
- No, they're just French
- It's ze french!
  
  They surrender

Plot twist it's all one house

Basically the internet

Top left works nights so we won't see the flag until the moon shines.
- Should be a NATO flag

A standard political compass.

i'm top left

Open window - > “POWER BOTTOMS (arrows pointing to lower floors) "

The commies and the LGBTQ are should be allies tho
- Except that a lot of commie leaders in the past have murdered LGBTQ groups.
  
  Then they weren't commies but went with the leading regime and pushed their own agenda.

The bottom two are red belts of their countries. In Russia of 90ies red belt meant pro-communist southern regions.

I mean the bottom two are on the same side now. Russians bought the GOP and their voters
- You say that like Russia is still the ussr?
  
  They wish
- Bruh the ussr is not the same thing as russia.
- I bought the GOP? I'll sell it for arresting or killing Putin.

Lmao could this be more AI generated
- I've seen this reposted many times over the past decade. I suspect the image is older than realistic ai generated images.
  
  so this image is a window into the past
- This image is very old, since before accessible generative AI. It's probably been AI upscaled/improved. Notice how the headline is also borked
- This is an old photo. So yes, it could be more AI generated
- It looks like it was ai upscaled. Zoom into the letters or the rounded corners of the picture. It's easier to spot that way.
  
  yeah I did some digging and one of the earlier posts I found of this was back in april 21 and it was much smaller. Definitely seems to be upscaled. Certainly looks fake when you zoom in on this. The Soviet flag actually looks worse in this compared to the other image I saw.
- What makes you say that?
- People out here downvoting the implication that this is an artifical image. AI or poor photoshop, this is shaping up to be a real reddit moment.
  
  yeah it's definitely (poorly) upscaled by AI but originally it was a real picture
  
  Look at the other pictures posted in this comment thread. The picture OP used was a particularly terrible version of it for some reason, there are other versions that don't look nearly as bad.
  
  Yeah so apparently it's a real picture taken quite some time ago that has been upscaled. It looks absolutely horrendous though and 100% fake, especially the parts you highlighted. I guess I'm not terminally online enough to recognize a repost or something, but weirdly enough I'm OK with that.
- The bricks are throwing me off, but it could be the camera quality.
