Why raise another nation's flag at all, let alone one filled with murder as a state goal.

And they've been doing it since 1999. Makes no sense to me.

Why raise the Canadian flag then? How many of my native brothers y'all kill?

National flags are jingoist nonsense. Patriotism is a social disease.

Patriotism is a social disease.

Agreed. Imagine being proud of where you're from like it's some sort of personal accomplishment.

Nationality isn't an accomplishment, it's a statistic.
