Reddit man has no standards. Like I kinda agree with him, State seal flags are boring af

But his extremely reddity argument of every flag has to have straight lines is so stupid. Colorado and Cali have beautiful and instantly recognizable flags. Even if the bear on Cali flag is a bit complex, you dont really have to draw 1:1

Joel is right here, the wavy one’s the best. the star on others look a bit weird.

I love my simple socialist flags like USSR, 🇻🇳 and 🇨🇳 but there is nothing wrong with more ‘complex’ flags.

    My favorite Minnesota flag is still the one where it’s California republic but a picture of a mosquito instead. Honestly I’ve been coming around to “all us state flags should be boring and samey because all the states are fundamentally interchangeable”

      all the states are fundamentally interchangeable

      As an Ohioan who lived on the west coast briefly - this is fucking hilarious

      bring some Californians here and tell them it’s basically the same, I dare you 😂

      idk, maybe it’s different now, but right before I moved out west 20 years ago, I moved to Virginia for a few months and got roasted any time I called carbonated sugary beverages “pop” instead of “soda” or “cola.” There were lots of other confusing differences around expected pleasantries and social obligations, too.

      I think the people cheering for the balkanization of the US are onto something, because I see pretty distinct cultural differences between regions.
