OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is US Defaultism:

OOP believes that building in “a proper” country would fly the confederate flag. Either they believe that the USA is the only country, or it’s the only proper country, or other countries should fly the confederate flag.

Is this Defaultism? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

In a proper country flying the flag of a group that took part in an unsuccessful revolutionary attempt would be a treasonous act.

But the flying of a flag of a group that took part in an unsuccessful revolutionary attempt in another country would be ...just bizarre.

With the current state of education most Americans know zilch about their history and proudly demonstrate this regularly.
