"The flag was adopted by radicals", I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean. Its the flag of the ENTIRE nation. Its the largest umbrella you can get. "Adopted by radicals" So fucking what!? Do you mean to say that anywhere and everywhere the flag flies is now suddenly radicalized? What fucking horseshit logic.
This, I find it very odd that England MUST identify with the Union Jack... but every other country in their Union can still identify with their sovereign flag
I’m guessing because it’s been adopted by the extreme right using it as a symbol of hate under the pretenses of their values being “American” when in all actuality these folks represent the antithesis of American values.
I don't understand people who cede symbols and objects just because people they dislike use it, especially when it's the flag of the FUCKING COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN. Maybe they're flying them to remind people they're all Americans and to try and bring unity? Besides, if people are being attacked in the street for carrying US flags, which they are, aren't the people attacking them the antithesis of American values?

Because the goal is to associate as many people as they possibly can with 'white supremacists' so they can then selectively enforce it on wrongthinkers. One supposed white supremacist waves a flag somewhere, they declare it Cancelled and now they get to call anyone they don't like with an American flag a white supremacist and use the flag as proof. It's the slimmest of justifications but it's just barely enough for cowards and sycophants to decide it's 'controversial' and follow along with the struggle session.
That's where the selective part comes in. They only crow about how racist the flag is when they can use it to shut up people they don't like. They won't say anything about it otherwise.
And clearly they haven't gotten tired of it yet, they've just double downed on it over and over again. Calling things racist at this point is the entire foundation of the progressive movement. If they didn't have it their ideology would fall apart. It is nearly their justification for everything. Unfortunately it still works.
Being called a racist used to mean something, and being a 'racist' used to mean something. They were shunned by society because their views and actions were abhorrent. The left has been abusing that societal impulse as a political tool for years and now they apply it to everything. They'll call you a 'racist' for waving an American flag because one guy they didn't like somewhere did it and they still expect society to treat you like you were burning crosses on somebody's lawn.
Unless you'll have me convinced that ancient architectural feats like Roman aqueducts and Colosseum were built without an equivalent of it. In which case, have at it.

I love when they act like their opponents are the REAL ANTI-AMERICAN ones, by citing some nebulous values of what America is supposed to be that always fits their ideology only.
Its like when they try to claim Jesus was a socialist.
No, I don’t believe in Jesus, but don’t you think these out-of-context bible passages mean you should support communism? Jesus didn’t like money-changers in the temple, so clearly that means Christ wants us all to rise up against our bourgeois masters and guillotine their families!
This lot are more "Mass shootings in front of a trench" than "Guillotine" - they might wish they had the elan to carry off the guillotine thing, but they don't
Here's an interesting fact: np links don't actually mean jack shit. Subreddits can detect that you're visiting from the np subdomain and display a message or otherwise alter their appearance, but that's by their choice. You can actually put other letters as a subdomain if you want. Like this:
The American flag is our flag, ask yourself why this upsets you?
Controversial. Good job, Reddit.
They're also all talking about pride flags, California flags, and others to 'counter' the American flag. I mean, I already knew it, but it's hilarious to get confirmation.
Gotta love the patriots coming in there. "Are you 15? Are you a legal adult? Do you seriously have a problem with the flag of the country you're LIVING IN?" Preach on. Even if the "flag was adopted by radicals/the extreme right" then the proper response would be to put it up and reclaim it as a symbol of your own movement, not to disavow a standard act of patriotism. All it does it make it look like you and the people who agree with you are anti-American. With all of the liberal insistence that they're still patriots, you'd think they could stop setting this trap for themselves.
“The flag was adopted by radicals" so by your logic then the Hammer and Sickle of the Union must be banned because after all there’s this movement called National Bosvikism a political movement that combines elements of fascism and Bolshevism(this is not a joke, they are real). They are proud alt right fascist that use the flag of the Soviet Union so by your logic that flag and it’s symbol has been adopted by radicals so you should be burning that Soviet flag I’m 90% sure you own because after all flying it could be a dog whistle for a Russian fascist movement.

You get the same logic in the UK:

I have been advised that every last Nazi adopted the habit of breathing.
Hitlers favourite drink was Water... not to mention that he was Vegetarian
You know what else was adopted by radicals? Food and water! lol

You'd think they'd get tired of their side calling everything racist then. Ok signs, milk, personal responsibility, all of that is pretty normal shit.

Dont forget to add numbers to the list... even though numbers came from the middle east
They were salvaged in the middle east.

Why would you post an np link. This ain't reddit
I just copied/paste a link that I saw in conversation after looking at it. It's pure laziness that np. is still there.

Of course, if the admins don't like what you're doing they'll go after you, but not because of the np link.
Imagine hating your own country's flag.
You assume these people feel any allegiance towards anything.
Power / Control.
No youre not you larp
Sadly there are some pretty cucked people in the military these days, I wouldn't discount it.
You don't have to use NP links here. Just so you know.
I know, the original link I used was that and I was just lazy in not removing the NP.
Controversial. Good job, Reddit.

What a bunch of idiots.
you could always leave.
People who are offended by the American flag need to leave America.

OP, we're thinking of trying something. Do you think you could post links to reddit in archived form? NP.reddit hasn't worked for years.

People in Morgan Hill, CA, where only 32.8% of the people voted for Trump, offended by the American flag? Imagine my shock.
