This is just goobligook.

No it's pretty simple stuff I think.

Either be proud off all the benefis your country has provided you with or focus on all the negatives.

Well that's a black and white view. All or nothing. With us or against us.

But it also allows the person to pick the benefits they are proud of and ignore the negatives that don't affect them, or that even benefit them.

Which brings us back the "gobbligook" question of what a person displaying a national flag is trying to say.

Is there a country you'd rather be living in?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I am still in Australia so the benefits must outweigh the negatives when compared to the process and long-term effects of upping sticks and moving overseas. This is probably why people take holidays. Experience a slice of life elsewhere but don't have to move your life.

Is there a country you'd rather be living in?

thread ****ed for another week yay

What happened?

 

[Royces Hart]

It can mean whatever you want it to mean.

Why do you want it to be a negative term?

It can mean whatever you want it to mean.

But not a negative.

So not whatever you want it to mean.

 

[skipper kelly]

Sometimes yes

Which country?

Why can't flying a flag just mean pride. Why does it have to mean whatever lens you are seeing it through.

And there was a country I'd rather be living in. It's why I moved.

 

[BigTacoBandit]

If you're a homeless person living in LA should you be 'proud' of the American flag?

I bet he thinks Born in the USA is an uplifting, patriotic anthem.

 

[BigTacoBandit]

Both

Still no comment on China flag next to an AK47???

Just like you can't explain your abortion position.

Such a fraud I don't know why you bother wading in here.

I thought we were talking about people flying the flag outside their homes. Not sure how homeless people fit into this conversation.

So if you're a homeless person left behind by your country, you might have a different perspective on someone who owns a home flying a flag?

I don't know either.

You're obviously on a different plain.

First time you've ever shown interest in the homeless.

 

[happy_eagle]

I understand and respect patriotism, but once it gets towards nationalism, it gets dangerous and insane quickly.

 

[jatz14]

Actually I don't think you do..

French culture, Italian culture, Japanese culture etc are all sacrosanct but as soon as the US wave a flag it's evil and nationalistic. Can't be both

Now your just making s**t up.

Japanese nationalism is often talked about online as a concern, particularly by the Japanese who are well aware of the dangers.

I saw a vid, posted by a Japanese YouTuber discussing the dangers of Bushido just recently.

French nationalism is why they are the only country still fighting the colonial wars.

Italian nationalism has seen Italy take a jump to the right.

That news from the US fills our media doesn't make the rest of the world disappear.

Untrue.

Who has said those cultures are sacrosanct? Sure you aren’t projecting something from your imagination?

 

[Crankyhawk]

Let's not pretend it's only western cultures you have an issue with.

The day you criticise another country like say Iran or Chna for waving their flag as being nationistic.I might take notice.

Pretty sure there’s a lot of criticism of China being excessively nationalistic

 

[BigTacoBandit]

I don't know either.

You're obviously on a different plain.

Don't know what?

 

[Royces Hart]

Chumpy arguing in bad faith again.

 

[Stokey]

Pretty sure they're not allowed to display their patriotism or nationalism as freely as the US are as well

That old chestnut.

Everything I don't agree with and can't defend is 'bad faith'

Then why have you ignored any discussion of gun stickers next to the flag, which was a large component of the initial comment?

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Why can't flying a flag just mean pride. Why does it have to mean whatever lens you are seeing it through.

And there was a country I'd rather be living in. It's why I moved.

You conservative types are are often triggered by Pride flags.

So, so weak. As usual.

Deflection, moving the goalposts and avoidance of points that might actually cause you to reconsider some positions if you were honest about it is all you contribute these days.

 

[bourbons]

Don't know what?

Why he bothers wading in here.

You know, the usual Stokey approach - ignore the guts of the post, focus on one throw away line, deflect. Anything to avoid actually engaging with posts in good faith.

 

[Stokey]

I haven't ignored it . I just think its dumb to highlight it.

Is it a movement? Or is it one photo used to generalise and paint anyone who displays an American flag as evil.

If I was American who do you think I should be more worried about. The guy with a US flag on his lawn or the hundreds of college students shouting death to America?
