ok it seems like this unhealthy strange flag mania is not a us only thing? I thought it exists only on the left side of the ocean, Who cares about this things. You waste so much time debating about unnecessary things
if you want to burn it, burn it, if you want to drop it on the floor drop it, and fold it the way you want. it’s just a fucking flag, a piece of cloth
How could they light that flag at all? There is this video of a guy trying to light an eu flag. But he can’t do it because of eu standards of making flags from inflammable material: https://files.catbox.moe/smydgl.mp4
Turly Europe moment
I remember when that video came out and I was truly impressed at watching good regulations in action.
Luv me some EU I does. 🇪🇺
So, it burns or not? And how well?
There are 5 seconds of preparation to light it, and as soon as the flame touches the flag it’s cut. Who edits video like that?
The flag seems to be “on fire” for the first second or so before going out, I’m pretty sure that the guy was trying to relight it (the inflammability of the material was already demonstrated, hence the cut).
So in other words, yes it burns, but not very well
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?
Freedom freedom freedom oy!
Freedom of speech covers what comes out of a mouth not what goes into it.
The correct way of retiring of a flag is to burn it.
One of the best West Wing lines ever. Penn Jillette is awesome.
Futurama, yo
If it’s your flag, do what you want. If it’s a flag owned by another person, you should ask for permission
And obviously acquire consent from the other. Don’t just ask and then do.
Terms of use “consent”?
From your continued visibility from the street, you give consent for burning any flag I don’t like in your property.
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’.
Germany here. I consent.
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.
Yeah, this is when I start getting weird, Hot Fuzz “for the greater good” vibes. Like, I wouldn’t burn an American flag, but I also would never condone this weird “you must like it here” attitude. Fuckin creepy.
What kind of brain rot bullshit straw man crap is this?
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.
Crowder is Canadian?
Steven Crowder was born in Detroit! Stop the slander!
I was born in Detroit, and feel slandered now.
You’ve had it too easy thus far, frankly, blaming this son of your city on an entirely different country. It’s not slander if it’s the truth.
