In before someone claims that it’s dangerous nationalism
Dannebrogen❤️ feels like my true home when I see it.

Dannebrog (the flag) is considered a festive symbol in Denmark. We bring it out for birthdays and anniversaries and such.
It’s common to put tiny flags on the table for birthdays, either mini flagpoles or just little wooden/paper flags.
Jeg lærer dansk lige nu.
I really love this little country. But man, some words are so fucking hard, it feels like they were made up by some aliens or Cthulhu itself. My brain is hurting, but I’ll do it and will come to visit you guys after all this covid shit.
upd. Please advise some really easy, maybe even children’s books in Danish for a beginner. And where I can buy them with international delivery.
As someone who lived in DK for years, the ultra strong national pride gave me mixed feelings. For one, knowing I would never be able to integrate even as a regular white european male. But it is somewhat cute tradicion and nice that they are strongly tied to their culture, flag and national identity.
Just gets annoying when you would always get: “so how you like it here” from people even after many years… and we all know what answer they want.
Scandinavians in general really love their flags. When I visited Sweden, I was surprised to see the Swedish flag and pennant flying from people’s houses, random bakeries, restaurants, etc.
It was quite the stark contrast to Germany
needs more flag, 4/10
Careful, you wouldn’t want to do something so horrible as showing *pride* in your nation, do you?
Is there any anti-insulting law for Danish flag like Turkey?
It’s over boys, the Danes out flagged us
Lacks a bit of blue on the cross there…
Which country is this again?
Damn its even worse than America
Worse than the US, kinda sad
If only we cared that much…
Danes and Norwegians are more fond of their flags than Swedes, not to mention the Germans. The latter seem to associate any display of a flag — with perhaps the sole exceptions of football and government buildings — with unsavory politics.
When I moved to Denmark I was surprised by how much the flag is used. They use all shapes and sizes of the flag, so much that it ends up littering the streets a lot of times. To me when I moved there seeing the flag of a country on the ground looked very ugly so I was picking them up and putting them somewhere nice, but there are so many littering the streets that I couldn’t keep up and gave up.
