It's just pretty immature and cringey to attach identity to a piece of cloth based on an accident of birth, which remarkably, when replaced with a hijab (which unlike a flag, people wear for a reason - however much I personally may disagree with their reasoning), suddenly people understand.

In my opinion the St George flag has become a symbol of something darker than national pride, it has been hijacked by those who treat it like the confederate flag. As a symbol of superiority, and due to this that's why I feel many can't associate with it.
However the love for England, the English and Englishness as a whole is just as strong.
