Why a 'freedom flag' from Dream's Minecraft server waved over a London anti-vax rally

An event called 'The Worldwide Rally For Freedom' was held in London this past weekend, a name in which the word 'freedom' is doing a lot of heavy lifting. The gathering took place in Trafalgar Square and was essentially anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination, with many attendees linking these viewpoints to political figures including, most notably, former US President Donald Trump.

In amongst the usual placards and declarations about 'are rights' was the striking flag at the head of this image. It is the national flag of a fictional Minecraft nation, which existed on a solo multiplayer (SMP) server hosted by the enormously popular Minecraft streamer Dream, before it was invaded and destroyed. Yes: the rally for freedom took place under the proudly waved banner of the fictional country of L'Manburg.

To briefly summarise: streamer Dream operates a huge Minecraft roleplay server, on which many other popular streamers plat. The server is a collaborative work where user-created storylines and factions are at the heart, and L'manburg was one of the most popular breakaway factions in the server's history: it declared independence from the 'Greater Dream SMP' in July 2020, won this independence through a battle against their former faction, and went through various minor brouhahas before being destroyed and permanently disbanded in January 2021.

Despite only existing for six months (and god knows this incident will probably see it make a comeback) L'Manburg was taken very seriously by its players, to the extent the nation has not only a flag but a national anthem. You can easily buy unofficial merch of this flag (which may have played the main role in this bizarre incident).

The flag was initially spotted on social media, and because of its relation to several major influencers L'Manburg soon became a trending topic.

It's possible that this was just a big Minecraft fan, who also happens to think vaccines contain magnets, though a more likely explanation (spotted by The Focus) is that the individual involved (who seems to be a middle-aged man, though it's hard to tell) knew they were going to the freedom rally and googled 'freedom flag'. I just did and here's the top of the results.

So this could be a Minecraft reference, but it's far more likely to be someone who's bought a cheap flag that isn't what they think (there are various designs of IRL 'Freedom Flags' for different causes, as one might expect).

Of course, the streamers were right on it. The former president of L'Manburg, Tubbo, a vastly successful streamer in his own right, simply tweeted the nation's name at the original photograph and raked-in 22,000 'likes', giving you an idea of the surprising number of folk for whom this is not only instantly recognisable but still meaningful long after disappearing.
