Shame on you,Kekistan.
Burning the flag (for those who choose this way of protest) is about showing how unhappy they are with some Government decision/law, action, etc.
The government allows this because it's part of the first amendment, and it's part of our ability to express ourselves, show our distaste, without getting punished. This is a good thing. And a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, (at least in theory) should always want this.
So all of us can express our distaste for some government action yet sill love that our government recognizes our ability to do so. and love our country. It's essentially a very strong show of distaste for very particular actions. That's why it's not really ironic.
What would be more ironic is if someone burned the flag completely decrying this country and everything the government does. This is not necessarily the case "in every case".

If your home was on fire.. would you like the firemen to check on ALL THE HOMES before they got to yours? I mean All HOMES MATTER right? So in your time of need, would you be wrong for saying "HEY MY HOME MATTERS HELP ME! I'M GOING TO DIE!" No you would not.
That does not mean you don't care about the other homes, but your home is the home on fire. Its urgent.
"White Lives Matter" is racist because its literally trying to take power out of the BLM movement by using its own term against them. White people are not being killed at a alarming rate in this country..they are not dealing with a major injustice because of their skin color...they aren't dealing with anything the average American isnt.
The people who shout "White Lives Matter" are panicking because of the Dispossession of White people in general. They feel like they are losing something that used to be theirs. The Country.
BLM is nothing close to saying White Lives Matter, stop trying to make them the same. One is a cry from a race of people because of current injustices done to them, the other is not.
White Lives Matter is hate. Those racist at those rallies (BTW the Virginia one wasnt the first) are saying "WLM, YOU WILL NOT REPLACE US" that sounds like the fear of being dispossessed to me.
Again, if your home was on fire, how would you feel if the fire dept said hey ALL HOMES MATTER we gotta check the other homes first. Meanwhile your house is the only one engulfed in flames.

People who typically do the "libertard" "lib cuck" thing are bigots who do the "I'm trolling" thing, but they can't/won't do it in their day to day nor would take the deserved ass whooping for it without crying foul.
So if it's a racist troll meme, it's still f#%& anybody who uses it promotes it or is sympathetic to it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hint.... theyre white elitists.
The American flag already has a deep, iconic meaning to this country.
If in 100+ years (or whatever) that meaning became synonymous with something very negative then "yeah" it wouldn't be used.
And what would most likely happen is that it would be replaced with some other sort of iconography.
I'm not really one for tearing down statues and the like because at one time they had meaning to the people of their respective communities. However, as we grow as a society, what should happen (in my opinion) is that they are labeled exactly for what they are and used as teaching tools.
Getting rid of everything negative is hiding from our history, both good and bad, and we should be aware of "why" these things were positive and why they are negative.

what about the Fascist rhetoric of the Anti-fascists running around in black hoodies and masks clubbing those who simply disagree with their views?
are these the the people you think as "reasonable thinking caring Americans?" because they are the ones that showed up in large numbers in Charlotte to fight the alt right. . .
Saying the Far Right is evil because of their words WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY exhorting the Far Left as brave freedom fighters standing up for justice and freedom when their viewpoints are just as extreme is straight hypocrisy. . .
ALL these extremists are equally evil.
P.S. i guess politic is allowed in this thread.
P.P.S. unless this was a honey pot to find people that dont share the political views of the site's owners in order to kick em off the boards. . .in which case good job you got me.
P.P.P.S. I remember when video game forums were places to argue about video games. . .I miss those times.
.. another attempt at trying to dismantle a movement started because of injustice.
So is it just not possible at all that maybe we African Americans have some money in our pocket and just maybe funded BLM movement? Or no.. there is no way there are rich black people right? The money HAD to come from white elitist.. SMH..
See this is the reason why BLM is important. Not just to my people, but to the Nation. Oh what? You thought only Black people subscribe to BLM?
You want to believe BLM has something to do with White Nationalist so bad.. why?

Subject chamge just to see where your mind really is. Choose true or false for the following.
Lybia had one of the highest standards of living im the entire middle east before NATO bombed them.T or F
Women in Lybia had more rights than amy other Muslim nation in tue middle east. T or F
Bonus points if you can tell me the first piece of infrastructure that went up after Lybia fell and who owns it.
Go
People looting, attacking police, has nothing to do with BLM. Its stupid people who are taking advantage of a situation for their own gain. There are police officers that fully support the BLM movement. Stop this narrative of BLM vs Police.
Again people are trying to dismantle a movement by spreading lies and false information about it.. oldest trick in the book but apparently it still works..
EDIT: They are not asking for the death of police, they are asking for Police Reform. 2 Diff things. Since so many were losing their life to Police Brutality and the only answer Police would give afterwards is "I was scared."

To this, you might say "oh, but the Civil Rights movement was a thing and it was important." Yes, yet it was. But here's the thing. The Civil Rights movement effectively mirrored our situation today through its two most prominent (and polar opposite) leaders - Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. Guess which one of these was actually successful and correct? Hint - we now name every other school and street after the guy.
Martin Luther King was successful entirely because his objective was to gain equal coexistence for oppressed minorities. He wasn't a firebrand or a radical like his counterpart. His ideas won out in the end entirely because they sought to establish a new normal, which the general public eventually saw as being rightfully normal. Yes, you need to make a peaceful stand to achieve that legal equality, but once that legal equality has been achieved, the objective shifts and society must re-normalize. World War II and the civil rights movement established the obvious - that Nazism is bad. We then ostracized these groups to the fringes of our society where they belong.
Now, we've done the opposite. We've decided to point fingers at an irrelevant, worthless group of human beings and say "hey, look at how shit these people are." Whether they deserve this or not (which they obviously do) is irrelevant. What is relevant is that a spotlight has been shone onto these people. A reminder has been shoved into the modern discourse that bigotry is a thing. And after roughly half a decade or so of this spotlight being shown, with a corresponding rise in Malcolm X-like "anti-white" ideology, we now have a rise in the very far-right hate groups that we have spent decades pushing aside and ignoring. Except now, the white supremacists get to call themselves a counter culture, and that's a problem. They should not be a counter culture, but rather an insignificant speck.
Of course, I'm sure you'll disagree. That's fine. But my point here is a simple one. By sticking with the peaceful coexistence and normalcy that MLK helped to establish, we have had decades of progress. It is only now - by refusing to just "ignore the bad things until they go away" that we have a racist, science-denying reality tv show host in a position of power. Wonderful, right? Decades of social and scientific progress spat on in a single moment because someone had to remind the world that Nazis are a thing that still exists.
I served 8 years in the United States Marine Corps, I've been in the the middle east several times and am well aware of the situation there. But I kindly ask:
What the hell does that have to do with anything I said?
I asked you a simple question: "why do you want BLM to be associated with White Elitist so bad?"
Think for myself? Please.. you are the one referencing a false rumor about BLM being paid for by White Elitist.. to what gain? Why do you assume BLM isn't paid for by the many rich black,white,asian,indian etc people around the world that subscribe to it?

@SBFord can you tell us what the rules are on posting politics in forum threads? I think everyone needs to seem them posted in this thread.

Trolling, hate baiting or whatever the fuck you clowns call it doesn't make you centrist or outside a conflict. It means you're a coward who uses "just kidding" to escape the consequences of your true stance. Talk about entitlement, must be fun to be able to "play" like that.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So when the Alt-left terrorist hate group antifaci and BLM holds signs that says kill white people is that racist? When they holds sign saying all white people are racist doesn't that make them racist and bigots? When the Alt left terrorists groups like antifaci and BLM throw urine and feces, fire spray, hit them with boards with nails is that a hate group? Now I'm not talking about them attacking white supremist I'm talking when they attack the supporter of The President of The United States does that make the Alt left racist, hateful bigots?
I get it you think the Alt left terrorists hate groups LIKE BLM and Antifaci are perfectly fine and only white people can be racist. Sorry contrary to what you were indoctrinated in whatever school you attended thsts not the case. You clearly do need a history lesson.
As i thought, you dodged my questions.
What was your MOS? Disinformation? Lol
