Interstellar was Awesome

SPOILERS

But there's one tiny thing that is bothersome to a group of people. Apparently the flag of the U.S.A. being stationed on planets is considered "tribalism" - which alludes to an archaic mindset (my gosh, why can't we just be One World!?) - and that it was a bit too much of "Rah Rah Americuuuh!"

The objection is birthed because the earth, being met with a devastating fate, would forgo their "us vs. them" and adopt the "work together" mindset, dropping the provincialism.

As much as I liked Interstellar there's one thing, amongst a handful, playing off this "One World" line, that I had an issue with is the "no war" part. Besides the dysfunctional family relationships showed, there was little conflict outside the communities, everyone, more or less, got along.

So a point for the common sense for planting the American flag on the planets because the astronauts were from NASA, but a minus a point for the somewhat peaceful human existence on earth -- no wars, no riots, no "let's fuck this shit up" mentality. 

Minus a million points for the people who think it's irritating that NASA decides to put an American flag on a potential habitual planet, let alone dress the NASA office with, ya know, "American" stuff like the country's flag in the background. The horror. The madness.
