How common is it to fly your country's flag, and how is it seen by others? (lemmy.world)

My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.

That hits my personal view on the matter fairly well.

There's no sense in being proud about the piece of dirt that i fell out of my mother on.

Not saying your piece of dirt isn't good, or that the people on it havent achieved good things, but it wasn't an achievement to be born here.
Nothing my piece of dirt has done in the past reflects on who I am as a person and what I do with my life.
