      This is a critical step: while I understand the attempted message, this meme is also the proper way to respectfully retire a worn or damaged flag

        That’s some shit that’s always amused me about people who burn flags. Like, you’re showing respect to that flag.

        It’s even more amusing when people who supposedly support that flag oppose burning it.

        You want to disrespect a flag? Throw it in the trash.

          While I can get behind the point of folding, then burning being “the respectful” way to dispose of a flag: When my intentions are clear that I want to disrespect something by burning it, then I’m disrespecting it, effectively.

      That is also a valid technique! Burning confederate flags is like bbq styles, everybody has their preferences but as long as you show it some sort of deep disrespect involving some form of human or animal waste before burning it you’re probably doing it right

      Those arrows in each step aren’t referencing where to fold, it’s just where to pee. You have to pee every time you fold. I suggest having friends help so you don’t run out of pee.
