The US and the Nordics fly their flags more than anyone else in the world, but the Nordic flag culture is quite different from the American one. Here, it's disrespectful to the flag to fly it at all times. You shouldn't fly it at night or in the rain, but in the US it stays up 24/7. The only exception to this rule is a ship that is moving, which should always have the flag hoisted. Here we usually have "vimpel" when we're not flying the flag. The flag is flown on holidays and your birthday etc. and half-masted when mourning. The flag is used for celebrations such as graduation.

it's just germans who are autistic about their flag
Brandon Nelson
I think tis just americans forgettng where they are all the time
Carson Evans
I saw a lot on Switzerland
Nolan Clark
Yes. Silly americans forget at every instant in what country they are, so the flags every 2 meters help them remember.
Jonathan Ross
i was at the beach the other day and there was a group there flying the swedish flag from their canopy tent. reckon i'll start bringing a full sized US flag on all my vacations, that's pretty based
Joseph Brown
This, anyone have the gif or webm of Merkel throwing away the German flag?
Carson Evans
Grayson Clark
Just during the specific flag days
Parker Robinson
yes, here in europe we actually show respect towards our national symbols
Connor Carter
>. You shouldn't fly it at night or in the rain
I'm pretty sure we have the same etiquette, people don't listen though.
Nathaniel Roberts
All official buildings (municipalities, schools, hospitals, etc) fly the EU flag, the Italian flag, and the flag of the region/province (sometimes both)
Evan Torres
But there are special rules if there is a foreign dignitary coming to visit. In this case the flags fly like in this picture
David Price
If however the foreign dignitary is from another EU country the EU flag is placed in the middle
Caleb Evans
Showing a symbol in excess degrades it's mening. When you only hoist a flag on days marking your nations greatest accomplishments you understand why you should revere it.
Henry Cruz
State buildings fly only two flags, the Italian and EU one
Alexander Bailey
Do they hate their flag or what?
Nathaniel Baker
a literal yacht flag talking about flag standards lol
Luke Miller
Russian propaganda. Also it is the most aesthetic flag there is
Kevin Howard
We do but a lot of people let their flags go to absolute shit because they're too lazy to take it down sometimes.
Mainly just small businesses and random civilians who do that though.
Gavin Gray
when i see the finnish flag i think of wet toast
Lincoln Nguyen
They have an institutionalised guilty complex because of >muh Nazis
Hudson Wilson
But what if they suddenly forget where they are?
Wyatt Hughes
The flag those soldiers are carring.
Zachary Hall
I'm disgusted by how people treat the flag here. During some protests they tie is around their necks as capes. They use some retarded version with the coat of arms on it for some reason (it shouldn't have anything). They put it on a pillar and it just stays there until it's washed out and torn.
They think it's patriotic but it's just disrespectful.
Josiah Campbell
Looks cartoonish
Joshua Cox
We're nazi larpers so it suits.
Evan Morris
That's fucking retarded mate.
Why do this in your own country?
Noah Gonzalez
That's pretty aesthetic not gonna lie, but I didn't see that many flags last time I visited NYC
Leo Evans
We do wave our flag bur not as americans do, an american poster here once posted a pic of a gas station and it had like 10 flags all over it
Carson Green
Noting wrong with having the flag out in the rain, as long as you don't flag it during the night.
Shit like that is so disrespectful towards flag imo, no formality at all
Michael Hill
No here in Sweden everyone is inculcated with guilt and anti-nationalism from birth so they dont fly flags and welcome abdullahs in to fuck their women.
Kevin Hernandez
During international sports events, for political represenation on specific ocassions and on national holidays (independance day or so) it makes sense to show your flag, but it's just super cringe to see it hanging in someone's room or having a private flagpole in your garden. A flag is not a fashion accessoir.
Gabriel Sanchez
WEare not patchworks.
Jaxson Long
usa!
usa!
usa!
Carter King
Yeah, but we're kinda notorious for it, don't ask me why. People love their flags, and you see a lot of Swiss of canton flags in private gardens as well as public buildings. My foreign gf is always amused by how many flags we have flying around here, so I guess it's not really the norm in other countries.
Wyatt Campbell
Hahaha
Bentley Powell
We're not allowed to be proud of our country because some distant ancestors killed a bunch of blacks.
Austin Thompson
based
Chase Lewis
fascinating to see how we utterly destroyed German patriotism
Lincoln Bell
i thought it was pretty funny
Asher Gutierrez
i still think you should switch to the old aboriginal flag
Luis Diaz
you destroyed nationalism. unfortunately most modern day americans cant tell the difference between patriotism and nationalism
Brody Lopez
No, its because you aren't actually white you fucking anglo mongrel. Even your black ain't black, he's actualy Indio.
Jackson Allen
I'm thinking based
We had this flag after both wars, which we lost. This flag is shameful
Inb4 its the oldest one
Noah Hall
There is no difference when it comes to us because we never experienced it’s repercussions. We went through the world wars and came out stronger, for us it was a strength. And yes, I meant patriotism but we certainly destroyed nationalism too
Austin Thompson

Jayden Adams
My tribe is legally allowed to burn American flags, we're allowed because of dumb ass boomers think we'll respect it hahaha idiots.
Landon Mitchell

Easton Bailey
Alexander Martin
its distasteful
Matthew Morris
Remember, just one drop of Non-White blood and you aren't white, never will be white, and none your descendants will be white.
Jonathan Kelly
Is 1% indigenous dna enough?
Joseph Johnson
Yes, only race that has genetic requirements is White.
Jaxon Bennett
When i see your flag i can only think of lidl and milk
John Campbell
I live in NYC, it's rare to randomly see this many.
Andrew Powell
this same university gave me an arts scholarship partly because i'm part indigenous
maybe in sydney or melbourne, where I live plenty of people fly it proud
Wyatt White
At no point in our history, with only Nazi Germany being an exception, did we have a flag culture even close to yours. And even in Nazi Germany flags were not present in everyday life the way they are in the US today.
Nathaniel Ortiz
Your national history only begins a hundred years after the US though
Camden Robinson
You want to see something interesting, after the quarantine, whenever that is, go to Hausman St. near the eastern edge of Greenpoint, right next to the BQE. Basically every house on the street flies a flag, it's kind of weird to see. It's a row of red white and blue on both sides
Gabriel Cooper
I live in Bushwick. I'm guessing it's predominantly older Polish immigrants.
