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.
In one second I found a direct counterexample to your claim that all people enthusiastic about the Spanish flag are fascists.
“People in Spain don’t. Unless they are fascists.”
but
“people were protesting and using the flag against police brutality”.
Yes, I have been to Spain.
Spain has legal protections for its flag like the US, some zealots worshiping their flag like US zealots do, and the same clothing decorations with their national flag that the US does.
You’re talking about specific jingoistic fervor, not a nationwide obsession.
Some people take nationalism too far.
Zealotry is not country-specific.
