@Billy_Hughes you do? i don't get defensive about much. i love australia but i don't make a thing out of it. it just happens to be where i was born and i see a lot of beauty in it.

at least no one in my suburb has a freaking flagpole attached to their house so they can raise the flag of australia. when i lived in the netherlands i only saw flags out on queens day (i wore a shirt that was half orange half dutch flag on queens day one year lol). in fact i don't know if i've ever seen just a regular boring old suburban house with a flag hanging up out the front on either continent i've lived on. almost every photo/video i see of american homes, they have the stars and stripes out the front flapping in the wind. that fact creeps me out massively and i'm not sure why. it legit makes me feel uncomfortable 🥺

disclaimer: this all might be due to my retardation of course
