I watch Virtual Railfan on YouTube and the number of flags is just astonishing to someone living in Australia.

In hindsight it's really not that shocking that we ended up going fascist.

Yes. Always seemed odd every time I went there. Like, no other country matters.

it's because if they don't they'll forget what country they're in

What an insecure lot they are.

While it has always been prominent here, it’s out of control since MAGA thinks they own it. And yet they care nothing of flag etiquette and leave wind shredded flags flying and wear it as clothing. Disgraceful.

Probably the only democratic nation that overuses their symbols as much as dictatorships.

Patriotism & love of country lies in your heart, not on every porch, garage, truck & bumper !

Those are there in case you run out of toilet paper

Overusing definitely have an emptying effect on the symbol.

As proud as they are of their country they don't really take care of it.

How do you suggest we advertise a camping store if not with a 80 pound 13×26 meter flag then?!?

Also particularly noticeable with American spectators at the Olympics. They took wearing national colours and symbols to another level.
