    I don't mess with people who can eat a flag

    That's a person with dedication, anger and an appetite

    That's just the highest elevation of contempt right there

      Flag worship is kinda like transubstantiation but for politics. Certain Americans act like the flag is literally the blood and body of George Washington or whatever. There's a rule that you can't put it in the trash if you need to dispose it, it can only be burned in a really special way that feels like a demonic pagan ceremony.

        Its pretty funny tbh. I had to tell off a German kid for bullying an American kid once by chasing her around threatening to rub a rock on her flag. I wouldn't have been bothered if she hadn't been legitimately getting upset about the potential disrespect to her flag, but I was a "responsible" adult so I had to stop bad blood forming on the first day of a 3 week camp.

    I remember post 9/11 someone publishing a similar photo, someone eating an American flag at a protest. You have to respect someone furious doing something objectively silly. Like throwing a shoe. Wish we could come up with something like that.

      Throwing a shoe is just a great move in the situation, completely logical imo, and from what I've heard supposedly extra insulting in some cultures. If you are referring to the Bush shoe-throwing incident. Eating a flag just seems bad for your body and gives a weird impression as a symbolic act in my view.

        Yeah it's strange and unexpected and probably carcinogenic, but the message is unmistakable. And I'm kinda jealous tbh.

    Tearing apart a flag with your teeth in a righteous fury is psychotic, you should do something more civilized and sane, such as ritually consume the flesh and blood of your dead god
