I'm not sure fetish is the word I'd use. It's a symbol.

The Brits aren't great flag-flyers. But, I did enjoy seeing all the England flags being fluttered during the last World Cup. Everywhere you looked there were England flags.

Flags are for sporting events I own a HUGE one big enough to go around my sofa . I will never get this American flag fetish

remembers last flag I had that my little brother sold just after 911 for dope... flag sales were High back then around that incident ... but really I did have a giant flag that sometimes depending on the photo shoot at the time was either above the sofa or covering the whole thing .., it was cool till someone with a cig. burned a hole in it so I didn't mind giving it to my lil brother .. but knew damn well what the end product would be. here is a photo from the twelfth of this month I had taken..,

the reason for the blur is we were travelling about forty miles and hour as I snapped this image out the car window .,

I own a US flag. I do not own a Union Flag. That's patriotism

I do have a St George's Cross for previous Wimbledon usage, but now I'm even gonna have to go out and buy a St Andrew's cross as Murray seems to be our best chance yet.

I'm deeply suspicious of all who identify with artificial constructs such as nationality, it's little more than mob mentality writ large. Feel free to identify yourselves, though.

That makes me wonder...what isn't an artificial construct?

Mob mentality, I guess. That's natural.

And yet such people exist, and are therefore not a fantasy.

"Ideological fashionistas" is a neologism with no clear real-world referent - you'll point to whomever you want to point to (no matter how whacked out, limited in number or otherwise negligible) when you use it, so it is indeed a fantasy.

Does the "bogeyman" exist? Prove that he doesn't.

I own a British flag, but not a German one. I bought it as a teenager. Even then I was a hopeless anglophile, I guess. I even wore it during the Formula 1 races I attended (I was a fan of Damon Hill).

It only lacks a clear real-world referent if you're not aware of the context of the conversation. And I don't have to point to anybody; people who believe the flag represents jingoism, nationalism, et cetera are far from uncommon-- and they come by their beliefs at least in part because jingoistic, nationalistic people love to wave the flag. But if you live on the planet Earth you're aware of this, so I don't know why you're pretending you don't.
