No thanks on everyone putting up an American flag. But I misread what TreesAndBirds posted. I thought he said "We have to put up an American flag."

Sincerely trying to understand your position. What's the issue with putting up an American Flag to show solidarity in time of crisis?

The American flag to me represents oppression, bigotry, corruption, and inhumanity. Sorry. I rather show solidarity by organizing within my community. 

But I also misread the post. I thought that it was a call for everyone to do it. It wasn't, and if people want to put up their own flags go for it. I won't be putting up a flag.

Perhaps you could fly an upside down American flag.  Perhaps people will drop off donations if you fly a Swiss flag.

I guess I could. When I was serving in the United States Army I learned that that was a signal of distress and it seems appropriate at this moment.

Yeah, I know what it means. I encourage you to do so. Best of luck to you.

Some people express a different view of America:

It's one of the many, many things that makes this a great country. You and I can express our true feelings, thanks to 1A. Natürlich bevorzugen manche Menschen den Faschismus und all die Freuden, die er den Menschen bringt.
