Flag worship is kinda like transubstantiation but for politics. Certain Americans act like the flag is literally the blood and body of George Washington or whatever. There's a rule that you can't put it in the trash if you need to dispose it, it can only be burned in a really special way that feels like a demonic pagan ceremony.
Its pretty funny tbh. I had to tell off a German kid for bullying an American kid once by chasing her around threatening to rub a rock on her flag. I wouldn't have been bothered if she hadn't been legitimately getting upset about the potential disrespect to her flag, but I was a "responsible" adult so I had to stop bad blood forming on the first day of a 3 week camp.
