As a Brit, I would like to apologise.

Where once I thought it was an insane activity relegated to unhinged Americans who could only achieve completion if a flag was in sight, I have since learnt my mistake after recent events in Britain. I am now aware that a bit of cloth signifies just how much I love this country and QUEEN and fully retract my jeering comments I made on it, and how I thought we were better.

It turns out we're not. A slight snicker at the recent cringe inducing display of the Tories to slam MASSIVE FLAGS in their spare bedroom when being interviewed so you know they LOVE THE COUNTRY with PICTURES OF THE QUEEN so you know they LOVE THE QUEEN has shown me that the true value in being BRITISH is by the size of my flag and the BRITISH VALUES are the flag and the flag alone.

Fuck the flag

You don't have to apologize. Flag worship is cringe.

I'm mostly apologising for thinking Britain was better in deriding it. We have far too many who think the American values of flag worship are good it turns out.

I understand being fed up with flag worship and general apathy for your country's flag, regardless of the lofty ideals that enthusiastic patriots attach to it - usually because enthusiastic patriots are annoying as fuck.

But I would recommend checking out r/vexillology or something, because flags and the field of study relating to flags is actually pretty cool. There's also a shitpost subreddit because the snooty main subreddit got fed up with the meme posts getting way more attention than the other general vexillology posts.

A few great flags:






Also, flag aspect ratios are interesting. Over 2 thirds of the world's flags are 2:3 or 1:2, with other flags having minor variations in length or height. But both Switzerland and the Vatican have 1:1 flags, being completely square, and the flag of Nepal is taller than it is long and has 2 triangles protruding from it.

How else can I prove I'm the truest patriot if I don't fuck the flag?

I thought it was here too, or at least was only a small number of people who worshiped it and otherwise was considered rather uncouth or not British to be a fervent supporter of it.

But evidently plenty more than I thought who see it otherwise.

I like the look of it. I just don't give a toss about it otherwise and consider it irrelevant to anything British, or our supposed values.

I still wish we would incorporate the Welsh flag into it now though. Or just make the dragon coloured Union Jack style. >.>
