Funny topic.
My 14 yr old daughter and I had this discussion on the way home from carpool yesterday. She hates it. She's very passionate and compassionate and say's people flying flags just wanna look like they're helping but aren't doing anything. She goes on about how there are many ways to help that don't involve a flag. And the money spent on the flag should be sent directly to the relief efforts in her opinion.
I disagree with her. I told her it's fine by me if people want to fly the flags and show support. The flag is a visual symbol of support and a reminder of what's happening far away. That flag may spur others to donate and join the effort.
TLDR The Flags are fine. People hating on them are stupid or 14 yrs old.

She would be correct more often than not. It’s the same with blm and other similar causes. People like to toot their own horn and get attention.
Anyway in regards to being the same with the Ukraine flag waving I definitely just have anecdotal evidence as the only people I know waving Ukraine flags of any sort are same people who bought into Russian reset, Obama’s the 80s called when concerns about Russia brought up, and ignored or were ok with Obama’s back channeled promise to Putin of doing more after re-election. They went along with or ignored Russia until November 2016. Having to ignore that and then lump Russia with their Trump resistance for 4 years their look at me flag waving today is mostly about their long TDS not actually caring about Ukraine or Ukrainians just as their resistance crap including flags was before.

99% percent of people flying that flag don’t have the first clue about the genesis and issues surrounding the war. And what is worse is that they have no desire to learn.
