Flag-Burning and S'mores on July 4th

[xIamBigDx]

smart man. fuck oppression. But anarchy is still dumb, in a way

[xIamBigDx]

@xIamBigDx oh yeah, when i start a band, do i have permision to use the part of the video that you're explaining the symbolism of the flag, in the begining of a song?

[theamazingplant2]

GREAT VID! totally explains what we are thinking. im gonna burn a flag every holiday this year.

[Hadenthekiller]

ROCK ON BRO~!!!!!! i <3 the 1st amendment , and all the people who don't want to burn their own flag are commies!

[vonsgu]

Are you related to Rick Moranis?

[BeantownJim]

I suggest you stop masterbating in front of the cam and get out of your moms house!

[tetraedronico]

LOL How did those marshmallow tasted?

[applepieNpolicestate]

Good video my Anarchist brother. You... have just earned a subscriber : )

[msteelman]

where is this guy immigrating from?

[ninjacssss]

and on the concept of market Anarchist. I dont understand how you can believe that goverment is not needed. Have you seen anytime anywhere in the world that a place without a form of goverment was successfull and anyone but the few powerfull people were happy? FFS even barbaric tribes in jungles have a elder/council and has some form of rules/consequences for the sole reason if they didnt there would be chaos. Could you imagine there being no consequences for your actions? the strong would be ok

[ninjacssss]

Many people died for that flag because the flag represents there country the ideal of there country. Thats why people get upset when it gets burned or well they used to. Its because to THEM your disrespecting what they did for this country. You may not see it that way but the people who you upset take it that way.... I dont understand why you dont burn a copy of the constitution or something lol then your point would be more clear in my opinion.

[Joefreiheit]

I'm a market Anarchist too. Burning the flag is your right.

[keomacfarlane]

Good job bro!

[flyinbry]

frank. your an idiot.

[willeyum94]

Anarchist Douchebag much?

[eleberr]

I love you!

(:

[juanpiruli]

You are a punk!!

[silvertonetitan]

dude, your are amazing

[gunlover99]

u r a pice of shit and shold never coem to this country i cant stand people like u i dont give a shit what u think the flag means. i hope u never get into this country the flag repersents the best country in the world. that flag reprsents all the people who have died for this country ur a pice of shit i should bever coem to this country

[enape311]

Why would you put the flag above what it is supposed to represent? What about our leaders tgat sent thoses people to die for this country? The Best country in the world? That is subjective in the first place. By the way the 1776 republic that you learned in school about is long gone. what we have here is a government that represents the most powerfull country in the world. Whooo #1 you might like that, but that role seems to run contrary to the values you think that flag represents.

[enape311]

If every American would put their loyalty in the ideal in which this country was founded upon and not their party and government you and Franc might find are on similar pages. remember its individual liberty that thoses people thought they died for not their government and that where peoples loyalty should stay. Oh but our founding fathers didnt see fit to free the slaves or treat the indians as human nor were you allowed to vote unless you were white and owned land, and only 1 direct elections

[silvertonetitan]

haha he was totally right in everything he said about the flag its not what he "thinks" about it its all fact,and secondly you are the worst speller i have ever seen in my life "pice"? come on man, learn to spell, you are the average ignorant american, your just another brainwashed patriot, and with a name like gunlover99 your obviously not good at resolving problems without violence, and obviously a great symbol of what your country stands for

[SLCThunk]

You're full of shit. Everything he said was accurate. The flag represents power and if the founding fathers were around they would agree with this guy

[FredR023]

America is the best country in the world? I'm guessing you don't travel much or watch the news.

[KissofInfinity]

I'm guessing you don't listen much, because he clearly stated that he is immigrating.

[FredR023]

I wasn't talking about the guy in the video, I posted a reply to some comment a few pages back and it got sent up here.

[keomacfarlane]

Good job sonny!!

Scotland hates the US too!

Well, we hate george bush. We like most american citizens.

[Slane420]

What if you love america and the nice colors of the flag and tend to like how it is and made up? Is this wrong to love a country or place of origin?

[romney27]

not to sexy, If your going to burn the flag, you need to have some balls, some rock in roll. do it right. If you do it wimpy then your point is wimpy.

[Franc28]

Fine, show us how to do it.

[Tiburone15]

@Franc28 FUCK that imperialist flag, and what country do you hail from.

[DackBev]

How naive to think that you can have freedom today without government. Don't you realize that Thomas Jefferson and other founders were philosophical anarchists? Sure, no government sounds nice. But to protect yourself from invading armies that are financed through massive theft requires engaging in theft. Government, though evil, is a necessary evil. And here you are desecrating early anti-statists attempt at providing liberty the only way they knew how.

[Franc28]

Laughable and naive to believe that something evil is necessary. On private defense, educate yourself by reading "Myth of National Defense" (Hans-Hermann Hoppe), or defense section on simplyanarchy. com

Also deluding yourself if you believe implementing a government of virtually unlimited power was "providing liberty." Were using Shay Reb. as a scare to control resources in the name of stopping future "insurgents". Same arguments statists like you use to justify war on civil liberties.

[DackBev]

You should appreciate the attempt to protect liberty, even though it has an unpleasant cost, instead of spitting on the whole attempt. Again, please do not immigrate here. You're not welcome.

[Franc28]

On the same breach you both profess a love of liberty, sanction an omnipotent government, and deny me my freedom of movement. Get off my fucking comments, you fascist. You don't believe in American and you are no American.

[XOmniverse]

On the contrary, I welcome him with open arms.

The state is not welcome in my fucking country. Get out.

[NoDeity]

Excellent! My only criticism is that someone needs to teach you how to roast marshmallows properly. ;)

[Franc28]

The marshmallows may have been burnt, but they tasted fine...

[PongGod]

Sweet! And I agree that the corny, patriotic music added a nice touch!

[habana1984]

i can tell u like eating but i like the cornie music while the flag burns it justs ads so much to the comedy value of all three things,,you. you eating and you burning a flag quite spiffing i thought

[Ratteristruth]

Oh, man, awesome. The salute was a brilliant ending. My camera just got fixed, so I'll probably be doing one of my own on Saturday.

[zunkworks]

Great video Franc!

[hanniballecturer]

Oh, and the salute as the end was priceless! Please consider posting more often, Franc.

[hanniballecturer]

ironically, burning the flag on the fourth of July is just as much of a celebration of what america really means than saluting it would be...

[blue46gt]

hanniballecturer FTW! :)

[hanniballecturer]

Not sure what your reply means, so I will simply stress that burning the flag in protest is american: i.e. america is about freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and the freedom to criticize one's government.

[Franc28]

FGTW means "for the win."

And for the record, I am an Anarchist. I don't want the "freedom to criticize the government": I want to help take it down. The "freedom to critiize the government" is worthless if you can't do anything about it.

[blue46gt]

Hanniballecturer,

I was basically giving you props.

[Nielsio]

Brilliant!
