because to americans their country is not just an idea, it's a unitification for one cause, for one goal, for the people, by the people, for the country.
You'd understand this if you were american, but you're not.
America is literally the greatest country that has ever existed. Although it has it's wrongs, but the rights make it up for it.

Not exactly.
America is a young country with no history (I'm not banting or else, it's just regard to history, 200 years is very short), national legends or deep rooted culture. Moreover, USA due to the many immigration waves that had builded this country, has a very heteroclyte population, from different part of the world and so different culture.
Because of all those factors, the only way to build a stable country is to unite people under the same idea. For USA it's patriotism, the idea of greatness and powerfulness. Patriotism it's literraly the thread which hold the patchwerk of culture, race, religion in this country.
That's why everything related to the idea of USA and its power is almost sacred. The flag, the anthem, Founding Fathers, the US army...
If you want examples, just look every sport events : Even for small leagues or just USA/USA matches, it's always a deployment of USA symbols : flags, anthem, sometimes the US air force send a patrol over the stadium...

>>52133434
no, the usa has nationalism and europe has newspeak

>>52132984
A third of people want to burn it, a third want super strict flag etiquette, and a third love the flag so much to use it as a fashion statement. We're weird f.am tbqh

Pretty much this, really.
However, what we lack in history we have more than made up for in accomplishments.
>>
>>52134922
That's true. The only thing that really unites us are the Flag and a hatred for Congress coupled with a desire for them do shit for us.
>>
Because they are forced to stand and swear allegiance to it every day from the age of 4.

Even some of our states have flag pledges of allegiance. We don't say it in VA anymore, but I wish we did.

>America is a young country with no history

Depends on how you want to look at it. Our national level government is the oldest running one in the world at this point.

That is a testament to its structure.
>>
>>52135195
And that's the reason half of our nation isn't trying to secede all the time desu

ehm

you'd know if you had a respectable flag instead of

>>52135830
1848 is when you became a federal state Switzerland, with a new constitution.

The US government is the oldest state-level government in the world currently.
