dude, you are a rabid nationalist, and it’s affecting your perception of reality.
you’re posting the same comment again and again, which doesn’t even support your case, and totally missing the points that everyone else is talking about.
go for a long walk in fresh air, and maybe consider that your hurt feelings about what flags fly where don’t outweigh the virtually unanimous decision of the people who have actually lived on the islands for generations.
A lot of words to to express “I’m an American who doesn’t even have a passport.”
Can’t even imagine a walkable city, and talking about it like it’s a far-off sci-fi concept, rather than a lot of peoples’ actual everyday life. Yikes.
