I'm not talking about the small flags that people hang diagonally right next to their front door (ex), I'm talking about intentionally installing a giant metal pole in your front yard. Like this.

At least with something like a giant pickup truck that never sees a dirt road of any kind, you could theoretically use it to haul stuff or hitch a trailer or whatever. But what the fuck is the deal with these flag poles?

    If you were familiar with Admirality Law, you'd know that a Sovereign Citizen forfeits their land to the Government Corporation unless they fly upon it the True Standard of the United States of America.

    There is no profound thought involved in any aspect of their reactionary beliefs. In fact they really don't have beliefs, just following a series of commands. They do it because this is what they do. The more their behavior is questioned, the harder they dig in. They will find ajacent activities to further demarcate themselves.

    Have any of you ever come upon chuds discussing flag size in their communities? An auto dealership in my area had this massive flag, nearly 80 feet wide, another business was considering trying to erect a higher pole and bigger flag. You can't fathom how stupid these types are.

    The function of both is purely visual. The big ones are larger and more prominent, so more visual.

      I get the small diagonal ones, as a lot of houses include the bracket so it's easy for people to just stick a flag in there. Even normie democrat libs will put up a flag. I've seen immigrants do the diagonal flag thing on their houses as well.

      The flag poles, however, require that extra step. To go out of your way to lay down cement and put a flag up.... you gotta then keep track of when it needs to be half-mast and all that shit.

    The suburbs next to me all have those and most of them have a combination Trump/blue lives/usa/don't step on snek flags. Every now and then you'll see a knights templar flag or a Christian flag.

    I knocked down/bent my family’s flagpole after a big storm back when I was in high school and they never put it back up

    My house came with one when my parents bought it in the 90s, but I saw a ton of houses get them post-9/11. I think it's just jingoist aesthetics.
