What happens in your country to people who burn the national flag?
Here, Aborigines and anti-Reclaim Australia people often burn the flag publicly.
Nothing. Both ANTIFA and neo-nazis do it. I hate them both
Nothing.
The right-winged would accuse of Koreans. I'm Japanese, and I hate foolish patriots.
I don't think it's illegal in most states, but I'm sure setting fire to something in a public place will get you in trouble
people encourage that here

Imprisonment for a term of three to six months, or imprisonment for up to one year.
>>52159603
seriously?
that's pretty based
>>52159459
Burning the flag is protected under the first amendment.

How is that "based", are you retarded

The flag symbolises your country, and all the rights and freedoms you enjoy in it. To burn it is to burn the place you call home. If you hate your country enough to burn the thing that represents it most, you obviously don't give a fuck what it does for you and you should fucking leave.

It's also only done by edgy autistic aswell
>>52159919
That literally is just your interpretation. To me a culture is weak and deserving of dying if burning its flag, constitution or whatever is a threat to it. That being said, I don't find burning flags to be particularily civilization behaviour.
>>52159878
Setting fires isn't speech.

I live in Melbourne. I don't really agree with Reclaim Australia, but their protests really are peaceful. Until the lefties, Greens, and Socialist Alternative faggots show up, literally

It's not a threat to the nation in itself, it's basically a form of treason. You can't burn a photo of your mother and routinely tell her to go fuck herself, but then sit at the table and demand she cook you dinner. Why should she provide food, shelter and safety you if you clearly hate her, don't give a fuck about her, and are ungrateful for what she does for you? You can leave if you don't like her.
So if you clearly hate your country, why do you continue to live there?
They turn into national minorities and can be legally shot
no one does it here, only eu
>>52159919
Because people don't choose where they are born, and in the real world people can't just abandon jobs and families to move to another country.

Yep, it's official. Flag desecration is not a joke, a flag is a nation's honor. It was always a crime here. Two year prison sentence was softened after a disassemble of USSR. Most people get off with probation or forced labor if they repent in a court. Seems fair to me. I'd never done anything like that to another country's symbols unless we're at war. It's a shame and dishonor for a modern, progressive man.

Not all flags are equal m88, burning a Finnish or Swiss flag makes no sense and is just edgy and pointless
Burning a US, North Korean or PRC flag based on something wrong they're doing is valid protest though since those are controversial countries.
>>52159202
Does it hurt inside when you see anyone burning any flag? How could someone hate their country so much?
nationalism is a recent creation of history created to compel people into doing unpaid labor for the state
a country is not a real thing that has "honor", that is just a invention made to trick proles into serving the master
>>52160221
I like seeing it done. There's a power to the image of a country's sake being destroyed in such a spectacular public manner. It's less offence and more a small satisfactory reminder that there are actually people out there discontented and willing to do something about it, regardless of the cause.
>>52160133
I didn't mean a threat to the nation. I said a threat to the culture. Basically it's like imprisoning people that disagree with you.
>treason
This literally means nothing. As in the definition is too arbitrary.
>a country is like a parent
A country is nothing like a parent. Worthless analogy. (You can hate the government but love the people and culture etc)
Your feelings about any particular subject should never be the basis of law. No matter how hateful you think it is. You don't have to associate with people you find hateful, but you have no moral right to stop them.
>>52160221
It's to attract attention more than because of hate. Of course it's complete opposite when Muslims do it.

Actually yes, setting fire to a flag that represents something is a form of expression.
Depends where you do it here, but the general reaction would be hostile.

Some mild tutting.
Law for the Finnish flag:
>8 §
>Joka julkisesti turmelee Suomen lipun tai käyttää sitä epäkunnioittavasti taikka luvattomasti ottaa paikaltaan yleisesti nähtäville asetetun Suomen lipun, on tuomittava Suomen lipun häpäisemisestä sakkoon. (21.4.1995/588)
>Joka oikeudettomasti käyttää tasavallan presidentin lippua tai muuta valtiolippua taikka käyttää sellaista Suomen lippua, johon vastoin 6 §:n säännöksiä on sijoitettu lisäkuvioita, tahi Suomen lippuna pitää kaupan sellaista lippua, joka väreiltään tai mittasuhteiltaan selvästi poikkeaa tämän lain tai sen nojalla annettujen säännösten ja määräysten mukaisesta lipusta, on tuomittava Suomen lipusta annettujen säännösten rikkomisesta sakkoon.
lolmoonspeak:
You get a fine for destroying, desecrating, or removing the flag.
You also get fined for misusing variations of the flag, or displaying or selling a Finnish flag that does not match its legal definition.
