Its usage by the gay community is the most recognised one. The only other one is it as a peace flag.
One popular usage of the flag was "gay pride". I would argue that the recent association is more with the LGBTQ+ community. There are conflicts in the lesbian community between lesbians and transgender people, so it's not really a flag of the homosexual community as a whole either. Indicated by the addition of Q and + it also might have a meaning of progression. If you look at the wikipedia article there are other flags that look very similar.

Why is this relevant for the subject at hand?

I would argue that the people who design flags for such successful movements are highly intelligent and educated, and understand that symbols need to have deeper meanings rooted in culture, history or even religion.

So why is the rainbow flag appearing alongside with the appearance of global banking? I have no clue. All I am sure is, that the meaning is more complex than what you have suggested. Is there a concious connection the actors of the global banking system see there? I don't know.

The claim that European countries are doing everything to avoid escalation is ridiculous. They are doing everything but the final step of active war participation.

Does anyone remember when Russia sent tanks, equipment and volunteers into the Donbass? Almost every European media outlet called it an invasion and a war.
European countries are doing the same with Ukraine, times a hundred.
According to legal experts even training Ukrainian soldiers could be regarded as war participation. In the end, it does not matter what legal experts say. The Russian government could see it as such.

I agree completely. Its a very dangerous game played on very thin legalese assumptions.
These are not "instances of the global banking system". These are US embassies. Diplomatic missions. And I agree completely with the gesture. Even if it's laughable coming from the US.

Well you get them as a package or not at all, and with not at all you might very well face serious hostile moves.

Yes. In addition it is part of modern warfare to orchestrate a scenario where your opposing side is forcing you to take military action, in order to claim moral superiority. In the end, the victor gets to set the narrative.

Blame your enemy of what you are doing.

If you dont like the article I have found you are free to research it yourself. Gaddafi was literally killed because he wanted to build his own bank.
Gaddafi was overthrown because he was quite close to providing energy to the wrong People, ending their reliance on French and Russian supply.

More nonsense, obviously.
That is obviously entertainment. What the creator intentions are, I have no idea. But I share his believe that the flag will undergo further transformation. What will it become? We will see, if the american system is healthy enough to function long enough.
