So the old fat orangutan wants flag burning bye bye. Before this there was 10 commandments in schools, pride flag in government building ban... What is a flag you may ask. Well its a blanket (not a very comfortable one either) with colors and shapes on it. There are many things you can do with a blanket even a uncomfortable one. Use it to stay warm if you have no other option, use it as a rag for motor oil, use it to keep grass off your ass at the park... With all these options what do people do with flags? They hang them on a pole just begging to get rained on. They do it to show what nation, political faction, community... they belong to. Same goes for similar items. Every christian already knows the 10 commandment. They have them in a book, they can find it on a search engine, they can ask their gramdma... yet some christians feel the need to display them in large letters for all to see including those (me) who consider it visual pollution and arent going to memorize them regardless. They even often bother to carve them on stones that look like tomb stones. Guess its canon or something. They even want to force them into schools. These entitled fucks want everything to be christian don't they. Fucking christ this and christ that.
When I was a little tiny child I thought people in governments were talking about boring but important things like economics. We have a housing crisis going on if you werent aware. Work places are getting rid of highly skilled employees by the thousands all the time. Medical bills are way too pricy. People in government are talking about these issues right? Na, they are trying to prevent a flag from getting burned. Because of fire safety? Wrong again, there were already laws for that silly. They in general think the group they align themselves with should not be disrespected and believe anyone who commits a act of disrespect should be punished with legal action. They also think it should only work one way because they are entitled fucks. Dam christians. They also think flags that don't align with them should forcefully be bye byed with legal action.
What is all of this you may ask. Its symbolism. Why do something if you can symbolize things? Harm people under the american flag? perfectly ok. Feed ducks in the park under a nazi or dare I even say communist flag? Your now officially labeled a terrorist by the NSA, FBI, CIA, and department of defense. Under the weighted flag of symbolism symbols carry more meaning than actions. Murder and murder with intent are two separate things. Doing a action may vary on its legal status depending if you plan to insight violence or not. Better not feed people normal food with the intent of causing them to die sooner from lots of unhealthy fats. Under this system better stick to feeding people poison with the intent their body might work differently making poison good for them. How does the legal system measure intent? Quite simple, a shot in the dark! Sure it may be wrong sometimes. May be wrong half the time. May be wrong most the time as far as we know but a broken clock is right twice a day. AKA pretty dam close to correct as far as legal systems are concerned. Reminds me of another issue. Why is it that the law is more concerned with arresting someone than arresting the correct person? Symbolism. A crime cant happen without someone going to jail. Cant find the correct person throw someone else in their place. Kind of like when you are trying to sleep but need to pee and dont want to get out of bed so you send someone else to pee for you. Unlike silly brains the legal system not only thinks up these thoughts but rolls with them.
Christians go crazy over symbols. Massive christian sects have split arguing over symbols and how they should be used. Some worship them like god is right there. Others destroy them claiming the symbols contain satan. What happened to spreading jesus? Didnt jesus feed people and tell people to treat each other with kindness? Havent ever spent much time with a bible in my hands but I dont think jesus dedicated so much time and energy into symbols when there were people in need of real help.
Sarcasm warning!
Defend the freedom and liberty of lgbtq+? Na, liberals only care about the
colors. Actually stop racial inequality? Na, just tell a few white guys to
feel shameful and call the problem fixed. What about womens freedom and
liberty? Put a few women in leadership positions to symbolize change. You
know what, I feel society have gotten so much better ever since a few
progressive symbols were put up in a few places. I think the issue is we
dont have enough of those. Isnt this wonderful? Actually arguing economics,
freedom, and liberty is completely removed from the political
framework. All you can do is argue for things that symbolize those. We are
truly fighting wars with cardboard cutouts of guns. Better not pull out the
cardboard cutout of a nuke! Real progressive ideas been labeled too
dangerous. New ideas and ways of thinking may change the fabric of space
and time. Better just stick to cardboard cutouts.
