Please explain “a simple showing of support.” I’m serious - I don’t get what motivates a person in such a situation. What is in it for them, or what do they think it is doing for someone else? Does it make the person feel virtuous?
Sure, there is a lot of plastic waste elsewhere. Not sure that is a good reason to personally contribute to such waste.
And yeah - I found the flying of US flags following our invasions repugnant. Took a LONG TIME before I was willing to fly my flag again.
