minus-square@JacktheladlinkEnglish7•edit-21 year agoThey do this in Europe too though (not with the US flags, obviously). Norway is particularly famous for flying the flag everywhere.
minus-squareTurunlinkfedilink2•edit-21 year agoFair, I have also seen plenty of flags in Denmark. As a German it weirds me out. We don’t do that kind of nationalism any more.
