My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.

In Scotland, it tends to indicate your political beliefs. People flying the Union Jack are normally unionists and supporters of the monarchy, whereas people flying the Saltire (Scottish) flag are normally nationalists (pro-independence). It's therefore difficult to fly a flag 'neutrally' unless you were to fly both.

Tends to be the same case in England with people flying the St George’s cross and the Union Jack

usually its the churches and during the world cup we see St George's cross, it's more of the Union Jack or Ukraine flags here in suburb London.
