“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.
Always nice to see I’m very much not alone in the “not feeling very patriotic” mood.
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…
It’s a cultural difference.
