Yes, it can mean a group of people. A group of people necessarily including the person you’re talking to.

Thus, when you said to me:

You could just go back to licking your flag

You were talking about a group of people which necessarily includes me, thus you were insulting me.

Again, I hope this English lesson helps you. Feel free to find a dictionary that disputes it though.

If you feel insulted by it, does that mean you do in fact spend your time licking your flag?
