Not much to be proud of here in the USA these days…

    We took our flag down in 2016 and again in 2024. A guy on our street flies his upside down which is, I think, braver.

      As a European… why are you all flying flags in the first place? I find it a bit weird…

          “Deeply institutionalized nationalistic indoctrination” is probably more accurate. I’d bring up historic parallels, but that would fall outside the scope of this community.

      In a similar vaine, I’ve seen at least two neighbors that have taken their Trump flags down which, while small, is nice to see. I’d love to see a brave soul around me to fly their flag upside down. If ever I put a flag pole up it will only be to fly the flag of Rohan or Gondor.
