Why does it enrage some people to see the flag of their country

>>731860143
Probably cuz the ground is dirty and they don't like to see the symbol of their country to have stains.

>>731860143

Disrespectful.

It's an old Roman tradition from which the term desecration directly derives. After battle captured banners and flags of the opppsition were brought to Rome and pressed to the ground in view of the standard of the army. The Red Army practiced this act at the conclusion of WWII with captured German banners in Moscow as recently as 1945.

Kind of. Then I pick it back up again and go on my way.

I have lived in America my whole life and I always wondered that. It's just a piece of fabric.

>>731862348
Well your a foriegner probably from mexico or somalia. Idk your cultures have no pride for their country, if you did thsn you wouldnt be here youd be fixing the country your from lol. Idk some races are just meant to piggy back of other successful races, having pride for our country and its flag is what makes this country so great. And ots the whole reason your here, because back where your from its a vomplete shithole.

>>731860143
Depends on the country. French flag for instance.. wouldn't anger anyone.

>>731862799
No. I've lived in America my entire life. My family is 99% American, and I despise this dumpster fire of a "nation".

>>731860143
No. It's just a flag. When I see mexicans protesting in the U.S. With mexican flags, though...

It's a cloth.
But the symbol is a flag that men died for.
Ala the Constitution.
But since the Constitution isn't on a flag pole....

>>731860143
its basically a religion, thus sacred, thus bullshit.

>>731863497
Then get the fuck out faggot. Go live literally wherever the fuck else. Steal your parents money and go. You wont, because you can't admit to yourself that America is an alright place to live.

>>731865015
I don't think I'm brainwashed by consumerism, I understand the convenience of it's uses but I could live alone in the woods my whole life without even seeing a person as well, I've got twenty two generations in this family with family members in two wars, and both sides of the civil war. This nation will stand the test of time and unite and free our world. Nothing you say and do will change the testament to liberty and freedom that United States of America represents. Great men and women have died for this nation, it's hopes, it's dreams. In the hearts of men and women greatness, and things feared are usually resented when not understood. In time you will see things that will change your opinion, both terrible and wonderful. This nation and the flag are the symbol of millions of lifetimes of people strived to doing better for the sons and daughters. To free them from the restrictions placed on the "proliterate" I am grateful for their sacrifice, I am happy with my life and ambitious to try harder every day to save the lives of even one man, woman or child. I hope to God when faced with the right decision of faith, patriotism and Pride you will one day understand. Through experience all things are learned Deus Volt.

Next time you're driving a car, roll down the window and give pedestrians the finger. It's weird seeing how angry they get.

If it's okay to burn the American flag because it's "just a piece of cloth" then why do liberals hate the Confederate flag so much?

>>731860143
I remember as a child I was interested in police, the military, rules of the flag, and other horseshit symbolism. Authoritarianism is for children.

>>731860143
It's disrespectful to the men and wemen that died to defend the country that that flag stands for. It was also against the law until a liberal judge made it freedom of speech when it doesn't have shit to do with speech, just a way for liberals to throw hate at others they don't like. You talk about burning a Quran and they are all over you and saying that isn't free speech.

>>731864746
Holy fuck this nothing pisses me off more than people living in America saying shit like "This place is so trash"

>>731869204

>>731860143
Never did quite understand this from a modern perspective. Get it from a military view.... once the colours go down the army/regiment/battalion/whatever is pretty much fucked. Before radios and shit soldiers would rally to the banners because that's where friends were. No banners = no friends = you're fucked.

Modern day, its a statement. Its not the flag, its the symbol of your country and what it stands for.
I don't see burning or throwing down a flag as a horrible thing. Stupid and juvenile, maybe.
> hurr I hate your country, so I will burn its flag and dance like a retard
Nah... I see people burning flags and I laugh at them. Its a meaningless, pointless exercise now and it only has power if the flag's owner chooses to bestow it.

Its because the conservatives and republicans are just as triggered as the liberals and progressives.Two sides of the same cry baby coin.

Liberals will cry over racism,sexism and the like

Republicans will cry over the flag, the troops and the like

They both trigger and that they cannot see they both do it is retardation in both camps.
