The reaction of society: due to the visual impact on the human perception of large symbols and colorful flags, it allows the mind to be manipulated by society. Forming an image of the future state for the protesters, which provides support within society. We see a large number of people participating in marches and carrying a large national flag, which is protected by law and the constitution. By using force against the crowd, the authorities risk falling into the lenses of journalists as not respecting their own symbols, and law enforcement officers who have driven away the crowd with flags may come or destroy them, which causes antagonism.
International resonance: by focusing the attention of the international community on these symbols, the interventionists oppose criminal power to society. This allows the protesters to form a positive image in the eyes of Western society and to support them, and to organize pressure on the authorities in order to achieve resignation.
What they have achieved: thanks to the media and the beautiful picture where the protesters carry the flag, an opinion is being formed that the whole society has been formed around the opposition. The MEGA flag symbolizes the state, and the protesters do not fight against their own state but against the corrupt government, which gives them the mandate to overthrow them in any way.
