What if we burned a flag, not in protest, but in celebration of the very freedoms that allow us to burn a flag in the first place?

If it’s your flag, do what you want. If it’s a flag owned by another person, you should ask for permission

I remember watching an early reality show in the 90s/early 2000s. They had Brits, Yanks, Kiwis, Aussie’s etc. One morning they awoke to find their country’s flag burned.

The USA contestants seemed quite angry and the rest were ‘meh’.

On another, somewhat unrelated note, I recall during the Brexit days that there was some British punk who hoped to make a point by burning an EU flag on video, but since the EU has rules on the flammability of fabrics, such as the ones used in flags, the flag wouldn’t catch fire.

Not USA, but I am somewhat patriotic. For those who actually don’t understanding why burning a flag irks some folk: Flag is a symbol of a country. People who feel pride for their country, who feel like they really are a part of that country and root for it, are feeling something akin to being spat on when the flag is burned, as it shows disrespect for country and what it stands for, them included.

I don’t judge people without context tho, as often burning the flag is a method of showing major dissatisfaction with how country is being run - in a sense, showing that one doesn’t feel this connection anymore.

And when done “for fun”…well, idiots are everywhere, whatever.

What kind of brain rot bullshit straw man crap is this?
