Who invented the idea of a flag anyway?
The most divisive icon ever devised.
Nothing but death and tragedy have resulted ever since.
Lets rally round our flag, and trash theirs.

Flags are used to incite ideology, I mean Nationalism, I mean war...
Defending the nation isn't the same as defending the flag. The flag can be moved from location to location.
Once supplanted, ideology can be misused.
Now we are defending our national flag in other countries??!!

Natives just didn't get it. Nobody in their tribe goes without food or shelter, ever. Nobody has more than they can use. Everything is divvied up equally, like kills, weapons, shelter. Everyone contributes to make the whole tribe, everyone, as strong as possible.

It could be that it was a windless day and that the flag was hanging downwards at 45 degrees or so. Then they would look a bit more similar but still without the stars.

She is no dumber than Americans who claim that Hitler was a left winger and that fascism is a left wing ideology. She is no dumber than Americans who think that universal health care is something Hitler invented.
Sarah Palin was a relevant politician in USA not so long ago for crying out loud!! This just shows how dumbed down some of you Americans are.
No worse than any other country my friend. I've run into a lot of Europeans with really stupid missconceptions about the world around them. We don't have a monopoly on idiots in the US. Actually, we're just catching up.

Key word in your post is "tribe". They may have taken care of everyone within a tribe but they would raid and conquer other tribes.

I understand what you're saying, but there has and always will be symbols of ownership.
That other disease, ownership.
Used to confound Native Tribes about the white man.
He declared ownership of land. Planted flags, lol.

Not having flags didn't seem to stop them from attacking each other very much.
