Is there a standard way of flying a flag of a nation in a way that represents the people rather than the state? (lemmy.world)

There's a nationality that has been hounded in my country by huge volumes of derogatory disinformation. I want to wear a flag pin supporting those people. But, their government at home is tyrannical and I'm not a fan of using the national flag for that reason. I'm struggling here with a way to clearly and visually show my support of this community.

Im not sure but I doubt it as flying it sideways is a common way to hang a flag when not a pole. I think there is a direction there. Like with the us flag I think when hanging 90 it has to have the stars at the top and if you did it the other way it would be upside down 90.
