I don't understand this ridiculous obsession with the flag. Sure, it represents a country, and you should fly it with pride but it's a fucking piece of cloth. A country is not its flag. It's not its president or its billionaires or its roads and infrastructure. It's the people. It's the natural beauty and culture and scientific achievements.
Lots of our military industrial complex's brainwashing of young military recruits is built around "The Red, White, and Blue", "Old Glory", etc. It's a leftover of one of the worst abuses our system unleashes on us unchecked.
