Does anyone else here have vexillology as a special interest

I was wondering cuz I do

My favorite flag btw if anyone is wondering is this flag that was second place in a contest on the vexillology subreddit, and my favorite flag that was ever used outside of the Internet is Kyrgyzstan's 1992-2023 flag.

  • Vexilllology is from the Latin 'vexillum', a diminutive of 'velum', meaning a ship's sail. The vexillum was a cloth flag hung from a crossbar. I much prefer the 'draco', as flags go.

    I must admit that I don't get the point of flags, I mean I know the dictionary definition and stuff, but why? and as for people who get so het up about "their" flag and flag burning and stuff, again why?

    It's because of nationalism, many people love their nation and take pride in any symbols representing it. Of course, flags are the most recognizable of these symbols.

    I like flags, they look nice and also not everyone who loves their nation hates others, though sadly there are many people who do.
