Why would I display an emblem of national significance if I did not consider my nationality significant?
I hope you've learned the importance of being precise.

I suppose we'd need to take a survey of all anti-patriots here to find out. For practical reasons such as meetups I might inform people of my country, but personally I don't display my country because I think it alludes to some form of national support. I accept that not all flag bearers are patriots, nor are all anti-patriots bound to be against the use of flags.
Is everyone happy now?
Not if you live in Channel islands or isle of Man ... they do not have a flag to fly on RHP (while I have a choice of two)
Anyone else flagless?
