The statue is kind of funny because when I think about the most prominent use of flags in recent years it's not any western nation that comes to mind

This gives the illusion of being an edgy statement about something, but it is actually bereft of content. Like, what flag is it?
It could be an American flag, a UK flag, an Ukraine flag or a Palestine flag, and for each of those, the implication is different.
People are already photoshopping different flags onto it with wildly different implications. Maybe that was his intent? But what is the purpose of an ostensibly bold and transgressive artistic statement that can, in actuality, be appropriated by anyone for any purpose, so everyone can imagine the artist is on their side?

yeah? it's art? it's just this:

Banksy coming out against solidarity with marginalized people and in favor of "just asking questions", sounds about white.

Poor Will stancil still being tortured on blue sky to the point he calls it the left kiwi farms 

The latest upset on blue sky about him is them claiming that he revealed a super secret tinder honey trap operation

I thought this was the entire purpose of the exodus to Bluesky, to create that?

While we're on the subject of protesting:

Liberating Spaces through Neighborhood Action
Palenque LSNA is a catalyst for Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Immigrant communities and allies to take care of one another and take strategic action for systemic change and a just, resilient, and joyful future.

Rooted in peace, resilience, and collective power, we work strategically to transform systems to build a future that is joyful.

With the concept of the “Palenque” — a space of community resistance, solidarity and care —at the heart of everything we do, we honor the history, tradition and intentions of palenques across Latin America and the Caribbean to support the needs of Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities here at home. 
We believe radical liberation can exist and thrive if we embrace these intentions:

• Acknowledge a shared history between Latinx and African cultures and communities
  
• Challenge anti-Blackness and anti-Indigeneity in Latinx cultures that allows for a political analysis based on liberation, healing, and unity
  
• Forge a relationship with those who seek freedom from the exploitative forces of capitalism, machismo, and white supremacy
  
• Reframe Latinx power-building as a liberatory activity that can lead to a more just and joyful future for many
  

Literally no idea what they do but they get millions from capitalism and white supremacy for it:
