Someone made a flag to express unity and we've just all come here to argue about it. How very human.

Are not ~all flags made to express unity? However that one looks better: https://www.flagofplanetearth.com/ Fight me :)

I wouldn't trust any flag with a hexiform shape. I mean, hexagons can be found in the wild but one perfect circle reflects better our human nature

It should be a white flag. All the colors, and the fact we embraced it as a flag of unity over a flag of surrender should say all there is to say about us getting over our differences.

Edit: From Wikipedia: (A white flag) serves as an internationally recognized sign of truce and negotiation, meaning "we want to talk". It emerged as an ideal symbol for peace because it is highly visible on the battlefield, is easy to make, and doesn't belong to any specific nation.

White flags are commonly associated with defeat in battle. Probably not the vibe one wants.
