The top right star on the Alaska state flag actually symbolizes the North Star which helped explorers identify where true north is in the night sky.

It sounds like they didn't do much research, just rushed to video production. The Texas flag represents much more than what they described. The Star, the Lone Star represents the one state that at one time was it's own republic. The red and white stripes were intentionally placed with the red stripe on the bottom to represent the blood on the ground that was spilled to defend Texas.

The strange thing about the confederate types of flags is that eventually it became the “Rebel” flag in general for places even far up in Canada. It was even what some might regard as a “liberal” symbol up until the 00’s.

[@betsyduane3461]

It's Union flag or Union jack. Before 1600, ‘jack’ was used to describe a small flag flown from the mast mounted at the end of the bowsprit. By 1674, this flag was described formally as ‘His Majesty’s Jack’ and in common usage - officially acknowledged - as the Union Jack. During the eighteenth century, the short mast on the bowsprit disappeared, to be replaced by staysails on the stays between bowsprit and foremast. In 1902 an Admiralty Circular announced that either name could be used officially. And in 1908 the UK Parliament approved this verdict, stating that ‘the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag’.

[@ryanjustice2670]

Plus the fact that the guy in the middle, later on in the video, actually said Union Jack.

So he complained that Arkansas had to put the name of the state on the flag.... And then complained about states not putting the name. Speaking for the NY flag is this really a bad thing to have on the flag? Allegorical figures of Liberty (left) and Justice (right) support the shield and an American eagle spreads its wings above on a world globe. Liberty's left foot treads on a crown, a symbol of freedom from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and holds a staff topped with a Phrygian Cap, a symbol of freedom and the pursuit of liberty. Justice is blindfolded and holds a sword in one hand and a scale in the other, symbolizing impartiality and fairness. The center shield displays a masted ship and a sloop on the Hudson River (symbols of inland and foreign commerce) bordered by a grassy shore and a mountain range with the sun rising behind it. Flying a flag for your country is racist? Wha? Why? It's OK to be patriotic when it's suitable to some. But if it bothers some people when they don't want to see it, there's a problem?

It matched the doors of the white police cars. I don't know when it happened, but the design was relatively recently redesigned, to be more than that. 🤔 Oklahoma's state flag, is odd! How so?

If you played Fallout New Vegas you see that California Republic flag everywhere ;)

Well Jousting is Maryland's state sport haha I don't realpy care for my state but I do like the flag's aesthetics better than most

[@Birick]

I also want to say that while I was growing up we said the pledge of allegiance followed by a moment of silence after but that's no longer a thing because the pledge of allegiance is offensive

"flags are dull" proceeds to have an in depth sociological discussion about the role of flags in contemporary society

A flag is homage to what Heraldry used to stand for

The problem with our flag in Georgia is that we had what was a Confederate flag in popular culture to what was historically the CSA flag, as if that were somehow any better. It’s only historical ignorance that lets us get away with it. (Cities have flags as well and, spoiler alert, Chicago has the best flag.)

In north dakota in lots of places you can see the state flag and the American flag, sometimes at sports the Canadian flag to honor our neighbor(and because most of us consider them the best neighbors even out of states) and sometimes the flag of Finland or Sweden, but the last two I have only seen in really small parts around the state.

I'm glad to hear you blokes like my Wyoming flag! I like it too. I'm not sure but the buffalo (bison) might outnumber the humans in Wyoming, but that's the way we like it! :)

You guys should react to Randy Moss and Jason Williams story. It will blow your mind mate.

Thank god we’re replacing our seal on a bed sheet flag herein Massachusetts. But also I’m worried that the replacement will be worse

You forgot to capitalize "God." Maybe you didn't forget? 🤔

Kansas was left out. 🤷‍♂️ It wasn't even on the list of shame. 🤔

That's because Kansas is the most boring state in the entire US 💁‍♂️

@@Alex-kd5xc but the video is about flages. Not about how entertaining a state is.

No worries! Your neighbors to your south were completely forgotten about as well! But I can admit our flag in Oklahoma wouldn’t have added anything to this video. We are proud of it, but nobody else would get anything from seeing it.

There is nothing wrong with a person showing love and respect for their country and all the good it stands for by flying your flag! I say to all our "cousins" across the pond.....fly your union flag with honor and to heck what others think about it! You are the one who knows the meaning of why you are flying it and you should not have to answer to anyone as to that reason.....but should they care enough about you to ASK you, you could answer with conviction and pride!
