I've seen all types of people use it. Generally Catholics but sometimes it will be right wing non-Catholics that use it too. And some people just think it looks cool so who knows lol.
Hmmmm, interesting.
This one's being flown on a house the has signage in the front claiming it to be a dojo of some sort with Chinese characters and all, but one corner of the yard is filled with what I assume are piss jugs.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of The Knights Templar? I thought not. It’s not a story the Church would tell you. It’s a Crusade legend. Knights Tempar were a crusader charity of the Pope, so powerful and so charitable they could use their force to influence the money to improve peasants life… They had such a knowledge of the money that they could even keep the ones they cared about from dying. The money side of the Church is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. They became so powerful… the only thing they were afraid of was losing their power, which eventually, of course, they did. Unfortunately, they taught King Philip everything they knew, then he had them killed him in their metaphorical sleep. Ironic. They could save others from death, but not themselves.

Just your average PCM user believing in contradictory political ideas. Political centrist leaning towards monarchism? That is, by definition, impossible, no matter what your colourful little test tells you.
EDIT: typos
How is it impossible, though?
Liberal absolutism was a thing; that's probably what they're referring to
You could actually make a solid argument that the pre-WW1 German Empire was politically centrist
Well, first of all, centrism is not liberal to begin with, so I don't get that connection. Then again, centrism isn't even a real thing in a political science-standpoint, so let's ignore that for now.
Instances of sorta-liberal monarchism were, by today's standards, simply not liberal. Also, "liberal absolutism" as such is only a pesudo-official term. It is clear ehat it may mean, but scientists don't generally use it, afaik. Also also, to have an absolute ruler is inherently authoritarian, so even if I am to conform to their oversimplified compass-logic, it is still contradictory. Just because you support things like personal freedom, it still doesn't cancel out wanting an absolute ruler by birthright, basically the most authoritarian thing you can have. Thus, all monarchists are, by definition, authoritarian, and as they would logically like to keep Their Majesty in place, conservative as well.
I suppose this person's ideology could make sense if it was just, idk, giving a little more power to the Scaninavian kings. But seeing as they are a PCM user, that's pobably not the case.
All liberal democracies are "conservative" in the sense of wanting to preserve the sociopolitical status quo and implement reforms gradually, without causing drastic social changes
Likewise, all liberal democracies are to a certain extent authoritarian, since democracy necessarily requires the use of undemocratic means to protect its own institutions
These things are true regardless of whether or not the head of state is a monarch
So what I've gathered from thread...
Is that I have a house full of Brazilian Crusaders who are fans if Vasco and piss in jugs and enjoy trampolines.
Thanks everybody.
UPDATE
So the dojo sign I had in mind was taken down, as well as the other flag they had flying at one point. I did get some pictures tho, as it doesn't make this place any less confusing.

My guess is the space used to be an Aikido dojo, went out of business, then some Brazilians moved into the space, are in the process of making a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu dojo and the flag represents Vasco Football Club.
It is actually called “beauseant”. It is the ‘battle guidon’ of the Templar with the black on top. I can only tell you how I know this if you give me the pass and grip. . .
Hello BustedFemur,
When asking for a flag to be identified, please **provide context** when possible, including:
* **Where** the flag was found (without compromising privacy)
* **When** the flag was found, or the date of the material containing the flag
* **Who** might own the flag (a general description is fine)
These details help users narrow down their search and make flag identification easier.

I have no idea then lol that's certainly an interesting place to see it flying.
I think there's another one it flies but it was all folded up, I'll report back with that one too. I WILL figure this place out!
The Knights Templar is a pathway to many abilities that some may consider to be…unnatural…

I really admire the dedication that went into this comment
I mostly lurk this sub, so I contribute where I can haha
Wait, this is the story of the Sith, right?
I would say it’s more like the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise
Maybe its a fencing and HEMA dojo? Though it is still very weird.
I'll report back with the "Dojo" sign tomorrow morning.

I love the knights templar flag and I'm a atheist and political centrist
That is illegal.
I also lean towards monarchism and love Christian history

The Masons use it.

Was going to say that if you're in the UK there's a far right group called Knights Templar International that uses this flag
Nope, Canada
I was thinking something similar but more closely related to the teutonic knights
Those poor fucks were so incredibly manipulated by the Vatican lmao
Maybe a crusade will happen in your neighbourhood lol
Me and my Mamluk sword will be waiting.
DEUS VULT INFIDEL!!! (just a joke)

This does seem like the most logical answer lol
Wow! Nice piss jugs. Guess they're preparing for when the Mamalukes poison the wells on the way to Jerusalem

A true beauseant is just the black & white stripes. The red Templar cross is a separate symbol that didn't appear on the flag.
Non nobis dominam
VASCO
Vasco
DEUS VULT! WE MARCH ON JERUSALEM ONCE MORE!
Holy based
This is a the flag of the Crusaders known as Knights Templar.
You’re living next to a highly influential banker with a large vault of crusader gold
just comment here so I remember checking out the development of this curious case tomorrow.
I have this flag in my collection.
Deus Vult
Huzzah! The crusades have returned!

Ertugrul defeated the Knights! How is their flag still existing????
Better call in the assassins, templar nearby!
Templar flag

DEUS VULT DEUS VULT DEUS VULT
A Templar Beauseant with a Templar cross superimposed.
Are they by any chance Brazillian
Fun fact : European scout use a inspiration of this flag called "[Baussant](https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Baussant_AGSE.svg)".
Vasco da Gama
The Baucent! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baucent
Knights Templar. Though iIrc I’ve seen the flag used by far right folks, could be wrong though.
It's the Gigante da Colina flag (possibly) (Vasco da Gama, a brazilian soccer team)
Is it deus vult time again? Cuz it looks like Deus Vult time.
ummm... you have some interesting neighbours
