Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

The only way for the national flag - the emblem of the state - to belong to the people is if the government of that nation also actually belongs to the people.
Which in a liberal democracy it does not and the state acts according to the whim of capital.
Fact: the flag is being worn by the cops who serve the government that serves international capitalism. Who, in all practical sense of ownership, does the flag belong to?
Getting huffed about somebody burning your country's flag is like getting mad at someone for destroying a copy of your wife's boyfriend's wristwatch.
Personally I'd wait until the jack booted thugs of authority are no longer festooning themselves with a symbol before debating whether it's vulgar to symbolically trash the symbol of said reactionary goons.
