One of my favorite examples of more recent times ...
That 'symbolic gestures' invite symbolic response gestures. And I personally think that's fair. If "A" wants to "speak his peace" (through a symbolic act) then "B" gets to comment on it (through symbolic act). Fair is fair; that's all I'm saying. And I like living in a society where people get to speak up, and to respond to those who speak up.The point here?
What!? Never, Mel Gibson and Hollywood would never mislead us that wayI remember some criticism of the director of The Patriot as well. It was very much anti-British, but it was quite the whitewash of U.S. history as well.
It was also a lousy movie.What!? Never, Mel Gibson and Hollywood would never mislead us that way
I have only watched small parts of it on free TV. I never got interested enough to watch the whole thing so I guess I will have to trust you.It was also a lousy movie.
It has Heath Ledger. Just bask in his awesomeness.I have only watched small parts of it on free TV. I never got interested enough to watch the whole thing so I guess I will have to trust you.
So it's terrible oppression if an employer makes staff call a transgender person by their chosen name, but a private individual exercising their freedom of political opinion by throwing away inanimate object in a matter that doesn't affect anybody is a line we shouldn't cross, and harassing them until they delete their social media account is good and just.I'm against American imperialism, too, although I think what this guy did was way out of line.
Ah, okay, it was a property crime; now the outrage makes sense.They were left by someone else, though. They weren't his flags, and it wasn't his property they were left on.
I can't help but find this image aesthetically pleasing.One of my favorite examples of more recent times ...

Yes yes, only Market shall dispose of Property. So Say We All.It wasn't his to throw away or otherwise remove.

EDIT:

I suppose he could have gotten away with shooting somebody, but destroying property is violating the great taboo of capitalist religion, so it only makes sense that those inundiated with its tenets would cast stones at him for such blasphemy.

I was trying to employ a rhetorical figure frequently called a "comparison"; in it, two disparate items are being compared or contrasted to make a larger point about the both of them.I'm not sure why you're tying these two issues together.
I mean, probably not if they were right-wingers; they'd have to be antifa or BLM.I don't think he would have gotten away with shooting anybody.

Well, no. You don't need flags to commemorate the victims of 9/11.It was merely a display commemorating the victims of 9/11.

The flags were there to link the commemoration of 9/11 victims with patriotism or nationalism.
Yes, although when you grow up with scenes like this, it tends to create a certain "mystique" about it all.
We revere our flag (worship is reserved for God) because it actually stands for something, and because people fought and died defending what it stands for. I don't expect most foreigners to understand or do the same because not all flags are due such reverence.
Did he steal them or were they left abandoned? I'm not making a claim either way, but I see a lot of flags just left around the place after Anzac and Australia Day, and I doubt it's any different in the US. How long after you leave a flag somewhere is it reasonable to remove it? It also says in the US Flag code that flags are not meant to be left flying unattended after sundown, unless artificially lit, but a lot of people rage-frothing about disrespect of the flag seem to ignore that part. Not to mention that the flag is never to be worn as an item of apparel, but I digress...I am not one for excessive demonstrations of patriotism but he stole property that was not his. There should be consequences.
