    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.
