I don’t understand this weird American obsession with flag. I was looking at some photos of Trump’s rallies. Flags everywhere - on shirts, hats, glasses etc. And this bizarre cult of the flag - “it cannot touch the ground” etc.

At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth. If you worship any flag or take offense to any flag, you need to get a life.

    Brand is a damn silly identity, but I get that - it’s still about things that you enjoy.

    I completely agree. Especially when someone gets so upset about criticism of their preferred OS owner (Apple vs. Android fanatics).

    I’ll also add sports teams into the mix. Some people get so ravenous about their support for a certain team, or criticism of said team.
