Why Did Our National Flags Become Political Weapons?
<p>Fly the Stars and Stripes today and you’re either a patriot or a problem, depending on who’s watching. Put up a St George's Cross in England and you're either patriotic or prejudiced. What changed?</p><p>This week we discuss record-low patriotism numbers in America, a lamppost flag war in Britain, a Church of England warning shot, and a straight answer to the question nobody’s asking plainly enough: Why did the flag stop being ours, and start being a side?</p><p>Conversations over confrontations. Ideas over ideology. Make sure to subscribe to our free Substack if you enjoy the content.</p><p></p>
