The flags are so braindead. Who gives a fuck about your country?
Normally, I would agree with you. But, I would like to offer a different point of view simply because this is a platform on the internet where the vast majority of the users seem to be from the US.
On a project like r/place, I kind of see that as a showing of people saying hey, we use this site, we are here everyday, there's lots of us, and we're from this country!
um, excuse me sweaty, but imaginary lines on the earth are the most important thing imaginable and we must worship them!
also: /s because i am not being serious
Some people are proud, or want to show representation
And as a citizen of one of these countries I say that's fucking dumb.
Yeah, I find it frightening. It indicates a lot of blind nationalism on a fairly passionate level. Nothing good comes from that.
