Pretty much all the Ukrainian flags in windows around my neighbourhood came down and were replaced by Union Jacks and flags for the Queen.

Part of it is boredom. Some is the appeal to authority (:bootlicker:). But I also think people just want to be a part of something, to feel like everyone agrees and is doing something positive. It's bullshit of course, it's not positive, and will only ever be bootlicking for the powerful because everyone is also terrified of being chastised for being wrong, or radical, or whatever. But I think it's a fucked up manifestation of how alienated society is.
