What is the origin of stars on national flags?

This symbol does not come from European heraldry.
Did it emerge from the enlightenment?

AMERICA INVENTED IT BECAUSE WE ARE AWESOME

Stars are cool.

Yea it did

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_(heraldry)

It's an Illuminati symbol.
Protip: All nations with five-pointed stars are controlled by the Illuminati, all nations with three-stripe tricolors are controlled by the Masons.
The EU and the Soviet union were both Illuminati coups d'etat.

>we secretly control the world
>let's advertise it on our flags

Pentagram star is a western symbol

Chinese and Viet are cucked for using it

>What did Ghana mean by this?

...

>no one ever invented the 5 pointed star until the white man

Masonic. The tricolor hearkens back to the pre-colonial Ashanti kingdom

Thats upside down, not the tetragrammaton i.e. God.

stay woke

Its the star and tricolors dipshit, which """""faction""""" is it.

Also Cameroon

Also Norks.

Also Suriname

Also Syria.

Also Venezuela. Your full of shit m8.

If it has a five-pointed star on it, it is Illuminati, regardless.
What part of this do you not understand dumbass

Cant have it both ways brainlet, you made these rules up, i'm just showing you that this is not a "convention" or "signal" for the Illuminati or Freemasons.

What part of this do you not understand?

You are simply too lowlevel to understand.
The Masons NEVER use the five pointed star.

Ok you got me, I took the bait.

The EU flag is a Christian symbol.

Revelations 12
>A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.

Why do people think the illuminati and satanic symbolism is bad anyway?

Christian memes about satan worshiping obviously stem from paganism which was still very much a thing well into the medieval era and arguably into the renaissance since many cosplayed as Romans in the open in the heart of the Catholic world. If any group is sacrificing virgins at the altar it had to have begun much more recently and they are doing it for satan, another meme from the bible, using symbolism stolen from the pagans.

The "bad guys" are those who abuse religion for political purposes like the medieval Catholic church or for their own perversions and degeneracy like secret cults.

The "good guys" are the pagans and early christians who genuinely practiced what they had been taught and those who questioned the medieval catholic church like the Cathars.

true Asians use circular sun as their flag

>In early (Ur I) monumental Sumerian script, or cuneiform, a pentagram glyph served as a logogram for the word ub, meaning "corner, angle, nook; a small room, cavity, hole; pitfall"
>The word pentagram comes from the Greek word πεντάγραμμον (pentagrammon),[1] from πέντε (pente), "five" + γραμμή (grammē), "line".

Guys I'm pretty sure it came from europeans during the enlightenment

It's not like it represents the five Chinese elements or anything,

you beat me to it

Strictly speaking, a star in heraldry has a minimum of 6 points. A symbol with 5 points is rowel (part of a spur).

It can symbolise many things

In the socialist sense, the workers of the five continents

Disgusting flag

Why was the Soviet Union flag so lame? Commie flags with wheat stalks (like DDR) are way cooler

it was the first one, give them a break

That's not the syrian flag you jfs loving faggot

satanism

>red star on red background
>calls other flags disgusting

>This symbol does not come from European heraldry.

Your flags suck.

if you can't easily draw a flag, it's shit

The 'starts and stripes' motif comes from the coat of arms of the Washington family

What about the flag of imperial Russia? They were a tricolor and were monarchist/orthodox

Imperial Russia didn't have a flag. The Imperial family and Imperial military branches had them though.

Interesting tidbit on the history of the red star:
>The star's origins as a symbol of a mass political movement date to the times of the Russian Civil War of 1917-1922 and the end of the First World War in 1918. [...] Russian troops fleeing from the Austrian and German fronts found themselves in Moscow in 1917 and mixed with the local Moscow garrison. To distinguish the Moscow troops from the influx of retreating front-liners, officers gave out tin stars to the Moscow garrison soldiers to wear on their hats. When those troops joined the Red Army and the Bolsheviks they painted their tin stars red, the color of socialism, thus creating the original red star.

The funny thing is that symbol is newer than the US's stars.

>Let's put our national emblem on Italy's flag!
>totally original flag!

Mexico should have adopted the Three Guarantees flag.

>masons
>not reactionary

Imperial Russia was fully within the masonic camp until the Illuminati used Rasputin to undermine the crown.

Can you believe it? Someone wasn't being serious on Veeky Forums?

>Masonic
>Not in France
Shit conspiracy mate.

We'll see if the Masons can wrest back control this April

Why Peru, central American countries and Canada are masonic

aren't masonic?*

shut up croat

It has eight Illuminati and one Masonic allegiance.

What's so hard do understand about that?

>FSA

Islam.

Except Chile's libertator, O'Higgins, was a known Mason and he changed the revolutionary flag to one with a star.

its demonic , its our last middle finger at god.

...

The Illuminati emerged as a splinter faction from the Masons years before O'Higgins was born. They still operate clandestine 'pseudo-lodges' like the infamous Propaganda Due lodge in Turin

The regular pentagram is a symbol which is regularly associated with the occult, and sometimes satanism.

The occult and satanism are concerned with influencing /this/ world, with changing /this/ world around for their own ends. They are not at all concerned for God, the kingdom of heaven, the real life everlasting in Christ, and so on.

Like the occult, regular pentagrams regularly feature on the flags of STATES. States are by definition concerned with earthly authority, temporal power. They seek to influence THIS world, and do not ordinarily concern themselves first of all with godly matters. Even in the cases of theocracies, they still have to balance books, maintain border integrity, set laws, make the trains run on time...

But these aside, OP has chosen four great images to represent the modern secular state: for that very reason, the regular pentagram symbolizes concern for earthly power. This is why it features in so many flags of States, or of meta-states such as the EU.

They have to keep track somehow

Definitely.

Mexico should've just gone full white instead of tricolor to be honest
