Maybe it's because the US flag is a symbol of freedom from an oppresive imperial regime. That is hardly the case for the flag of St George or the Union Flag, both of which have been subverted to nationalistic purposes, and while they may belong to me, I don't want to see them everywhere.
That is sad π but I understand I see all the flags out and it's not patriotism it's racism π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ
βAmericans have had flags on their lawn for decades it shows love and kindness to a nationβ Are you being ironical???
Ironical is not a word π and no I f you are a true patriot you love your country and your neighbour but I guess you wouldn't be that person
Either that or they barely know America.
And fucking glad for it ππ»ππ»
So you barely know the US. Got it.
And happy about that fact especially today's America
more people fly American flags here (both left and right) than any other developed country I've seen. To the level that's normally reserved for international sport everywhere else but America doesnt really do international team sport so they fly year round. It is about American pride.
The Germans were equally proud of their nation in the 1930βs. Fortunately a lot of Americans know what the real reason is. youtu.be/Pf10u0IIHdQ?...
It's not fascism, that exists and is creeping in and like everywhere, trying to co opt the flag. In '08 when obama won, millions hung the flag. Millions fly it today in resistance to the right. It's everywhere and always has been. You can't tell someones politcs if they fly that flag.
It's why it gets altered to the blue lives matter flag or ditched foir the Gadston flag by the right.
Also worth remembering that the far right here have an affinity for the confederate flag.
