  <h2>Whats going on</h2>
  <p>
    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.
  </p>

  <h2>The pointless waste symbolism is</h2>
  <p>
    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.
  </p>

  <h2>When action means nothing</h2>
  <p>
    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.
  </p>

  <h2>Dam christians</h2>
  <p>
    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.
  </p>

  <h2>When progressive ideas are reduced to a symbol</h2>
  <p>
    <b>Sarcasm warning!</b>
    <br />
    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.
