I thought something felt weird when I read it.

That's a given.

Isn't the king's wife the queen? Like, I know that the queen's husband wasn't the king, because that would have meant he ranked higher or something like that. But that wouldn't be an issue the other way around, because sexism. Wasn't it something like that?

If that's part of an airport or a governmental building, I'd be careful.

Patriotism, as long as it stays just that, is probably not going to do much damage. It's just kind of there and annoying, but not directly dangerous. But it is still a ridiculous concept to be proud of the arbitrarily drawn lines within which you were born, and being loyal to them simply because you were born there. That doesn't mean you can't like your country and want it to prosper. But emotional attachment to and positive attitudes towards a nation by default is cringe at best. Praise a country if it does something good and critisize it if it fucks up. But why would you give one country special treatment there? And patriotism is never far from being exploited and turned into nationalism at the slightest inconvenience. Sometimes, it doesn't even take an inconvenience, as evidenced by football right now.

One is cancerous, the other is a benign tumor (for now).

People are posting right now about a thing that's in the news cycle right now? Say it ain't so!

Ngl, it does look kinda cool. Driving me crazy that I don't have one.

I guess I'll just roll with it.
