Flags everywhere, and not just ‘Merican ones, actual flags for the branches of the armed forces. They even bought Space Force flags, for fuck’s same.

    We need a de-hoa movement.

    I think I once read half of homeowners live in hoa’s now. Fuck that, no one is telling me what I can do with my property in the private sector. Not crazy about the government either.

      I will never understand how HOAs became so prominent in “the land of the free” where private property is basically sacred. Then again I’m not American.

        in America, at least… Racism.

        Thats literally it.

        HoA’s became a major thing after WW2, in large part, to keep black and hispanic people from moving into white neighborhoods… with rare exceptions for “servants”.

    Flags on Labour Day tells me the people don’t know the difference between Labour Day, which is in September, and Memorial Day, which is in May.

    Memorial Day is not a day for celebration, it’s a day for paying respect to the ultimate sacrifice made by soldiers. Labour Day is about celebrating labour, i.e. workers. Of course most people do celebrate both days, especially if they have the day off of work, but grilling burgers on Memorial Day and knowing the meaning behind the day is not as egregious, IMO, as waving military flags on Labour Day. Just sounds like someone is confused or not educated.
