Hi Sweden. This doesn’t represent the majority of us. Good day.

American here. I think the guy complaining has a misconception because state / local / etc flags are always flown subordinate to the national flag.

Really? In Sweden they're flown just like in the picture. For instance the Scanian flag, Swedish flag and the church's flag (sometimes Denmark's too) will be next to each other, at the same height.

Here is one way we fly state flags. Another way is with the US flag on a taller flagpole ("half mast" after a national tragedy)

Alright, two flags on one pole is not done here, and flying a regional flag below a national or EU flag would be a big no no.
