Is this is a crime in your country?

  That is in fact not a crime in the relevant country:

  On June 11, 1990, the Supreme Court in the case of United States v. Eichman struck down the Flag Protection Act, ruling again that the government’s interest in preserving the flag as a symbol does not outweigh the individual’s First Amendment right to disparage that symbol through expressive conduct.

  Flag desecration is legal in the United States and carries no criminal or civil penalties.

    Is it “progressive” to not ban flag desecration? I would just call it “not idiotic.”

      Progressive just means not idiotic before everyone else

      People consider things like women’s rights progressive, but I would just call that common sense.

      That’s what progressive means in the U.S. It’s why the idiots are so afraid of it.

      on this issue

      Seems like a very clear and appropriate use of language to me.

  It’s against flag code; which isn’t a set of laws. Just respectful guidelines.

  If you want to dispose of your flag according to flag code: You have to burn it.

  • RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    You have to cut the star square off and each individual stripe. Then you can burn it.

  Project Zomboid spotted! Build 42 is awesome and I fucking love the ragdoll physics when I run them over now

    Been playing almost exclusively with Slayer’s Week One, and while it has some extra jank with 42 Stable (the plane crash in particular), it’s still so damn fun. Half the time even just finding basic exploits with the NPC AI. I’m really tempted to start a run with the chaos mod to see how I fare in the 7 seconds I remain alive 🧟‍♂️

    I’ll have to turn that back on and see if it still tanks performance. When they first added it, every now and then some random chunk of meat or a whole body would be stuck in the ground tripping the fuck out and getting spaghetified which dropped the framerate down to single digits. 🤣

  Honestly depends on gender/race at this point.

  You should be fine as long as you separate stars from stripes and put them into the designated containers!

• DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  That's not a crime in any county as far as i know, just bad etiquette in the US.

  Yes. In my country we must put all keys on our keychain to properly organise our inventory.

  Your supposed to burn it.

  “when an American flag is worn out and no longer fit for display, it should be retired in a dignified way. The preferred method is ceremonial burning, but you can also bury it”

    My city takes garbage to landfills, so it would be burying, just with a few extra steps

  While it is, the only time I remember it being relevant in the news, the person responsible (Māori activist Tame Iti) got firearm charges instead:

  Of course. All american flags must be properly recycled.

    What about the ones Made in China?

    • Kenny2999@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      They’re all made in chyna. Anyway, same laws apply. The constitution ain’t supposed to be optional.

    Why, I fought in two dozen galactive wars for that flag, but I’ll fight tooth and nail in court for him - if it weren’t for the fact that I lost my teeth and nails in 06’.
