The worst shit I've seen in my neughborhood was a condo where the owner had both a BLM sign and a "We support [city] Police" sign during the BLM protests.
In this blue area the houses with "in this house we believe..." signs were flying the Ukrainian flag with an American one as late as July. I don't think I've seen one since then, but also haven't returned to those specific neighbourhoods.
Those are especially fun. They'll put a sign that says "we believe water is a human right" on their house that borders a private lake and not even question for a moment if they're a demon.
There's got to be a ton of astroturphing and botnets and shit. All of the US's propaganda services, all of NATO's propaganda, and all of Ukraine's propaganda are certainly kicking out as much as they can.
I see t-shirts, businesses have charity funds for loose change with ukraine hearts, flags on t-shirts, SAVE AZOVSTAL graffiti, went to a professional sports game and saw a "GLORY TO UKRAINE - GLORY TO THE HEROES" flag, and houses with ukraine flags.
Most oh the UKR flags went up in the first few months and have never been taken down out of laziness/guilt. We don't exactly have any NEW supporters cropping up.
IDK I have recently moved between two Blue coastal suburbs and in both I have seen homes flying Ukrainian flags. Not any majority but multiple within a neighborhood. And thinking about the relative commitment and effort of buying and flying a physical flag, including either taking down your American flag or adding an extra flag pole/mount, versus just adding it to your twitter bio, I think that a significant amount of the liberals are properly brainwashed.
This was my experience being in a blue suburb for a while a few months ago
EDIT: Though also, this town happened to already have a bunch of municipal signs already be the same color schene with the opposite orientation. So there were a lot of "oh is that a... oh nevermind" moments that might be shifting my impression of how many flags there were
Couple of public buildings and businesses have em up, I saw one on an actual house. No one really gives a shit. I guess the problem is when you make a society so everyone is too scared, exhausted and isolated to do stuff you dont want them to do like look into socialism they are also too scared, isolated and exhausted to give a shit about stuff you do want them to care about.
Also, there are too many immediate problems. Apparently a quarter of social workers are gonna be or have been using food banks. Nurses, teachers etc... that entire strata of people who are used to doing OK and even well enough to be thinking about buying a starter home are relying on charity for food. Rents going up, fuel and electricity and the government is handing out several k just to stop a decent chunk of people going bankrupt. Supermarket shelves are beginning to look sparse too, fruit and veg especially it seems like every time u go to the shops there's a buncha stuff they are out of.
Yeah exactly. There's a reason why apart from a few hopeless chumps the only ppl genuinely that upset about the queen were 60 plus. It's the high tide mark where our society went from passively allowing capital to erode social bonds and create anomie to actively promoting it.
Maybe "duh" but I see Ukraine flags graffiti'd around Finland. Also a few repeating anti-Putin graffiti like one where he's holding puppet strings above soldiers. And the most cringe is in the border cities like Lappeenranta, which literally have city commissioned banners on the streets that say Слава Україні (Slava Ukraini).
It's 100% a psyop. And part of the psyop is to demoralize and demobilize radicalizing people from radicalizing further. Like someone else on Hexbear had said before, the people I know irl stopped giving a shit about the invasion when Will Smith slapped the shit out of Chris Rock, which happened way back in March. The truth is that no one cares after a certain point. Reddit has long since been compromised, so some 5-digit net upvote post about wholesome Ukranian troops owning Russian orcs should be seen as further evidence of Reddit being compromised rather than some reflection of real life. Other social media sites are the same.
Without doxxing myself, I live in a one of those 'swing' suburb districts the democratic party has been leaning hard towards and I have seen Ukraine flags in certain neighborhoods.

I see so many Ukraine flags every day someone who woke up from a coma would have to assume my country lost a war to them

Canada is kind of notorious for having a bunch of OUN Banderites running around.

:both-sides:
I've never seen the owner of the place, but if I ever do, I REALLY wanna ask them about it.

There were lots of them in the last neighborhood I lived. Totally meaningless.

I definitely still see them in :kkkanada:

Canada has the 3rd largest population of Ukrainians, its not surprising they're so gung-ho about the whole war.

Ughhh. My mum and step dad threw their Russian tarragon away to show solidarity with Ukraine.
:pathetic:
They are all over the place where I live and I'm pretty sure not a single one has come down since the war officially began.
