You could say it's a literal red flag indicating the post came from inside a tank.
I'm Canadian. I love that I am Canadian. I love my country and think it's one of the best countries in the world to live and be a part of.
I'm also very well aware of the atrocities my country has done, and still does. My brother is Anishinaabe and I spent a lot of time as a white kid steeped in Indigenous Canadian culture because of him and his family. I wore my orange shirt yesterday because as I don't have the time I once had to attend and participate in local indigenous events, the very least I can do is raise awareness and be an ally.
You can absolutely take pride in where you live. It's understanding the negative things associated with that and accepting them and learning from them, trying to prevent those atrocities from ever happening again.
Unlike, you know, that country to the south of us. Waving it loud and proud while your pedophile president drops bombs on school children halfway across the world probably isn't the best look for a nation.
You're actually touching on something that is a perceptible phenomenon in the US in that MAGA and conservatives as a whole have seemingly coopted the US flag for reasons related to what you said. They wave it around, drape themselves in it, call themselves "true" patriots and "real" Americans. Meanwhile, anyone not doing it isn't too proud of what the flag represents at the moment.
