    I really do hate that our national flag has been taken by the far right and general football hooligans. If you go to any other country in the world and see someone waving their flag you just think “That person loves their country, how nice”.

    This is the only place in the world where the national flag is a hate symbol. I’d support a campaign to reclaim it and break the negative associations but you just know it would immediately get corrupted by the same people they’re trying to reclaim it from.

      not in Germany. our flag is clearly used by the far right mainly. and by football (soccer) fans during international events.

      Wish we had a better flag than a red cross. Make them have to draw something detailed instead.
