I don't get the point of flags

I get what flags are meant to do, and that's to distinguish something apart internationally, but that's it. Flags are pointless waving fabric that people obsess over.

Before flags were widespread, people didn't use anything to distinguish nations because the idea of nation states didn't even exist. Empires were either the lands of an emperor or some institution like the Roman senate and the city of Rome.

>inb4 muh legionnaire standards or the "flag" of rome
Those are for identifying legions. People don't need a flag. Why do Romans need a flag when they know they live in the Roman Empire?

>inb4 muh "coat of arms"
Achievements represent individuals, not states. They're like the profile pictures of the middle ages or something

The only time flags make sense is internationally to distinguish countries from each other. It's simpler to just show a flag instead of the name of a country. It doesn't make sense to hoist your own country's flag in your country and outside of government buildings or during peacetime.

towns, provinces, municipalities and states have their own flags too
Only sovereign states deserve flags
It does make sense, becuase patriotisim is cool or something

When the French decided to remove the cool looking monarchist flag with this 3 stripes bullshit, thats when flags started getting worse, it's like aristocrats are the only people who know how to make good flags
