How common is it to fly your country's flag, and how is it seen by others? (lemmy.world)

My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.

Australian here. Outside of official government uses, it's generally a sign that someone is a racist fuckwit.

Interesting, I though those groups tended to prefer the eureka stockade flag. Has it shifted more to the Australian flag now?
