Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

the issue is that even British flag shaggers have nothing on the crazy level muricans take this to.
But that's not saying I disagree with you.
I doubt that one group of flag extremists is less crazy than another.
I think it's easy to conflate different groups like Christian nationalists or peppers or the KKK with jingoistic idiots because a lot of them fly flags, but it's in no way an accurate critique of an entire population any more than someone assuming that everyone in Spain is a fascist because some people who wave the Spanish flag are fascists.
I didn't say anything about any groups being crazy.
Jeezus christ English is hard. 🤦♂️
the LEVEL. The LEVEL is "crazy", which means "extremely high". The amount of flag love shown by the most flag obsessed Brit isn't as high as the love shown by muricans.
Shown where? In the media?
wow. You are not a native English speaker at all, are you?
"Shown" in this context means "expressed".
It's painfully obvious you've never been to the USA.
You:
"Jeezus Christ English is hard."
Also you:
"wow. You are not a native English speaker at all, are you?"
Hilarious, keep talking.
I need to learn more from your superior command of the language.
Expressed where? In the media?
no.
