The American flag: To some it’s Old Glory. To others it’s a MAGA hat on a stick.

    I always low-key know that the US is really young, but I always forget exactly how young it is. Like my town is 3-4 times older at least and there are nearby ruins which are in excess of 20 times older

      I mean there are cities and ruins here that are that old as well. One capital of a native tribe here is over 1000 years old based off just archeological remains, and oral tradition puts it far older still. It’s still occupied and acts as the center of their tribal land. There are others as well, but as a white neoeuro country the US is very young.
