		pbhjpbhj on June 15, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 8chan served with search warrant [pdf] Agreed. The flag in USA appears to be used for 'brainwashing' (compliance training). "I swear allegiance to the flag" and all that, then they use the flag as the backdrop when politicians talk to you, and use it as a symbol wherever compliance without opposition is required?! Union Flag flyers in the UK seem to be royalist or fascists; or possibly just sportsmen.

The fash over here just uses the England flag. Often for some reason with ENG LAND written on it (perhaps they're so thick that they need reminding?)
