    Good. It’s about time people stopped treating the US flag with respect in western countries.

      And in the US. The flag doesn’t deserve any respect as it’s a sign of oppression and Nazis. If I see anyone with a flag that’s not accompanied by a pride flag or something else liberal, I assume they are racist nationalists because that’s all it represents now.

        I completely understand the feeling. After the 2022 “freedom convoys” the maple leaf became associated with similar kinds of people. Canada Day 2022 was not a day filled with patriotism. It slowly made its way back to normal over the next 2 years, but up until the last few months someone with a flag flying from their car window still gave off a particular negative vibe. Now it’s back and bigger than ever.

        The US flag has always been an icon of bad things, stupidity and ignorance.

      If we stop being shitty, the boos will stop. It’s not too hard to understand. I never thought we’d be this bad.
