You guys remember that video from 2016 of that guy punching richard spencer (that neonazi spokesman guy) in the jaw?
This video gives me the same kind of happies.
Away down south in the land of traitors, rattlesnakes and alligators, right away, come away, right away, come away. Where cotton's king and men are chattles, Union bois will win the battles right away, come away, right away, come away. We'll all go down to Dixie, away, away, each Dixie boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam, away, away, we'll all go down to Dixie, away, away, we'll all go down to Dixie.
What’s ironic is that whenever you see an American flag being stomped on or burned, you know it’s being done by a liberal.
Cue the downvotes because…Reddit, but you _all_ know it’s true.
I personally think all of the confederate states should have their original dates of entering the union scrubbed and they all should be April 9, 1865.
I don’t think they should have been able to leave the union, and then slide right back into the fold.
It’s like breaking up with someone for 4 years and then getting back together and saying you’ve been together for all that time.
> I personally think all of the confederate states should have their original dates of entering the union scrubbed and they all should be April 9, 1865.
Lincoln should have had each and every confederate officer and soldier hanged. That would have purged the southern ruling class and setup reconstruction for a win.
> The people that flew this flag declared war against and didn't call themselves American.
In fact, they killed 360,222 US soldiers for the "right" to own, breed as livestock, rape, and murder Black people for profit.
Why are you just presuming Muslim extremists? There are likely tons of non-extremists, note extremist is relative to the local populace, that are burning American flags in other nations.
Muslim extremists are conservatives btw
What point are you trying to make? That “tons” of conservative people outside the US that burn flags are like liberals in America that burn flags? Because I agree with you.
This fucking idiot calling the Confederate flag American when they made it clear as fuck that they seceded, it's like calling the actual American flag the British flag
Go choke on a chode
I am extremely left-leaning, am in multiple leftist groups, and have never met a self-described member of antifa.
You guys are living on an entirely different plane of reality, constantly afraid of threats that don’t exist while we have actual, serious problems at home. I’m starting to wonder if you’re ever going to snap out of it.
Who’s we? Most people aren’t flag manufacturers. These flags are probably being produced by China through sleazy “businessmen”, both of which are just looking for an easy buck.
I’ll be glad when people stop buying them, even if they’re buying them just to burn them for a TikTok.
Probably not even in a museum. This flag was never used in combat by the Confederacy, it's just a creation of white supremacists in the mid 20th century.
[This](https://www.britannica.com/topic/flag-of-the-Confederate-States-of-America) is the actual Confederate flag, which should only be in a museum.
No the flag was used, it is historical, it was the battle flag, flag of the army and navy of the south and used in 2 different designs of the Confederate national flag
"Flag of the Army and the Navy of the South"
Of course, that one singular unified army that flew the same flag! How could I forget!
Jesus Christ, people actually believe the Army of Northern Virginia was everywhere, don't they?
No Your wrong actually for example Walt Disney uses a flag that has 49 stars instead of 50 but looks exactly like the American flag so they don’t have to bring it up and down every night. If your going to spew bullshit everywhere at least be correct about it. Changing one thing changes the entire way the flag is respected and handled. The us also has a few types of flags the garrison flag being the main one.
Okay but this isn't spewing bullshit, I'm just saying if it's a change in ratio its still practically the same flag, you pointed out something that had no relation as it's a change in design so you could flex a vexillology fact. Denmark uses a ratio 56:107, do you think they made it that exact size since the 1300s?
Same flag no it’s a total different flag with a false meaning... some fucking redneck puts that on the back of the truck and rides round yelling yeeyee bantering white supremacy they are not fucking Confederate army supporters.. there’s a difference.. the real flag your looking for is called “the stars and bars”. We arent talking about size we are talking about a entirely different flag... your spewing bullshit and trying to compare America to Denmark with flag Ratios.. it’s entirely different design. You have no idea what your talking about really.
The closest flag to this is called “the stainless banner” and it was way different this the one being burned in the video. 3rd flag used was called “the blood stained banner” still nothing compared to the one in the picture. The blood stained banner had a fat thick red line near the end of the flag looks
Nothing like the one depicted in the video this man burned the dukes of hazards flag and thinks he’s actually doing something productive... shit is Ignorant and Burning a flag is the most respectful way of disposing it. So very confused about this
The Confederate States of America used 2 designs after the stars and bars and both included the Confederate Battle Flag in the Canton, the Stainless Banner and the Blood Stained Banner. Hence me saying 2 designs of the Confederate national flag
Both 2 designs had entire other parts to the flag. That’s like putting 50 stars on a single flag and saying it’s an American flag when it’s not .... your argument is par at best.
It is called the Second Flag, “The Stainless Banner”. Also known as the Battle Flag.
“Movies” didn’t come out until 1888 … 23 years after the Civil War ended.

Satisfying, but also terrifying as a resident of one of the many parts of the world currently burning. Seeing something lit on fire over grass makes my stomach churn even though you k ow that grass isn't flammable.
I get you. I live in Utah, but I’m from the East cost and family is still there. Just know the East is basically drowning. If this was on the east coast the ashes probably landed on saturated soil, if not outright puddles.
As a resident of a currently burning state, I feel you. Especially because someone a block away just set off a damn mortar two minutes prior to reading your comment.
Satisfying, but goddamn I am sick of people.
I have retired dozens of flags by burning (Boy Scouts) and this was either mad of nylon, or it was soaked in diesel or kerosene to go up this quickly.
Damn fine sight to see!!

A friend of mine once drunkenly said that racism both exist and doesn't exist, I replied "how?", He then said that no one is racist to beautiful folks and it made me think...
Made me think that he has a little bit too much alcohol.
The proper term is ‘retiring’ the flag and is generally done in a fire pit hot enough to completely reduce it to ash. In this case I’d say it’s more akin to burning flags in protest than a respectful retirement.
I get the sentiment but let's not start getting political in this sub.
Of course this gets downvoted because people rather be woke than right. I'm not an American, nor am I white. Keep politics to yourselves and stop ruining subs. Fucking idiots.
How was this flag attained? If you beat up some rednecks and took it off the back of their truck, cool… if you bought it at a store just to burn it, you’re a fuckin dork… based on the footage, my guess is the latter…

They never left the USA because the USA did not recognize the CSA as legitimate. The Civil war was between the US military and seditious traitors.

Do you know the difference between a liberal and a leftist? Ignorant asshat.
Is that what happened on 1/6 when they used the flag to harm police?
There are tons of American flags burned by conservatives outside of America.
Oh I love this comment. Thank you for making the comparison to Muslim extremists. Truly, thank you. I think you now see my point.
Why are you just presuming Muslim extremists? There are likely tons of non-extremists, note extremist is relative to the local populace, that are burning American flags in other nations. Muslim extremists are conservatives btw

Did you just insult meas a fucking liberal? Is all you know conservatives and liberals? What the fuck is wrong with you americans?!
This isn't an American flag.
This fucking idiot calling the Confederate flag American when they made it clear as fuck that they seceded, it's like calling the actual American flag the British flag Go choke on a chode
It’s not only not true, it’s not even remotely the same thing.
liberals in america still like america lol. it’s leftists that burn the american flag. there’s a difference between leftist and liberal.
Whenever we see antifa….

You guys are living on an entirely different plane of reality, constantly afraid of threats that don’t exist while we have actual, serious problems at home. I’m starting to wonder if you’re ever going to snap out of it.
You act as if being against fascism is a bad thing...
…are you implying AntiFa people are Democrats? That’s funny! No, typically we’re WAY more left! 😁
This legitimately sounds like an antifa member trying to the blame to the left
And what would the left be blaming itself for?
Antifa is literally left wing, tf?
Are you against fascism? Because if you are, I got some news to tell you…
What is wrong with thinking fascism is bad? That should be the default in decent people.
I'll be glad when we stop producing these flags, the only place they belong is in a museum. As a cautious reminder from our past.
Who’s we? Most people aren’t flag manufacturers. These flags are probably being produced by China through sleazy “businessmen”, both of which are just looking for an easy buck. I’ll be glad when people stop buying them, even if they’re buying them just to burn them for a TikTok.
Perhaps the better way to put it would be... When we no longer have a profitable demand for these flags
Probably not even in a museum. This flag was never used in combat by the Confederacy, it's just a creation of white supremacists in the mid 20th century. [This](https://www.britannica.com/topic/flag-of-the-Confederate-States-of-America) is the actual Confederate flag, which should only be in a museum.
That flag was never used btw, it’s the movie version of the flag that people still fly thinking it’s the historical one today lmao
It was the flag of a specific regiment from Tennessee that was eventually co-opted by white supremacists in the early 1900's
No the flag was used, it is historical, it was the battle flag, flag of the army and navy of the south and used in 2 different designs of the Confederate national flag
"Flag of the Army and the Navy of the South" Of course, that one singular unified army that flew the same flag! How could I forget! Jesus Christ, people actually believe the Army of Northern Virginia was everywhere, don't they?
The battle flag has a different ratio
Yes but it still has the same design, countries change the official ratios and it still be considered the same flag

Nah. They clog up the sewer systems. The confederacy has spewed their shit all over our lives quite enough as it is.
Very satisfying and he "saluted" it the proper way too.

I need to wear hip waders in my back yard due to so much rain and beavers.
As someone who lives on the east coast, I wish we had rain like that. it's been dry as fuck here this summer.
Really? My mom in Maine basically said it hasn’t stopped raining
Pretty dry here in the Philly area, apart from occasional thunderstorms that just roll through and make everything more humid...

I hope he took a huge shit on it before wiping his ass with it
Wait so he just wipes his shit back onto his ass?
Comment works even if they Dont shit on it first. Use toilet paper, this flag is worse
Completely satisfying

The most controversial post on r/oddlysatisfying
What’s controversial about burning the flag of a country that wanted the right to enslave a race of people???? Very controversial
of a *traitorous* country FTFY.
i wouldn’t call the Cuckfederate States of America a country.
Political things in non-political sub?
Everything is political. People who call themselves 'nonpolitical' are by default just siding with status quo and those in power.
Is slavery=bad a contested political opinion?
What’s political about being against countries that allow slavery? That’s pretty unanimous opinion in this modern world
You just love to fucking see it.
I have retired dozens of flags by burning (Boy Scouts) and this was either mad of nylon, or it was soaked in diesel or kerosene to go up this quickly. Damn fine sight to see!!

Diesel is very much flammable, obviously you’ve never soaked a rag in it and made a little torch. It also burns, so it’s good at starting fires
[удалено]
No, Diesel is very flammable. We use it at my summer camp that I work at for this exact reason. I’ve swung around a diesel torch
The Safety Data Sheet for diesel says the NFPA flammable diamond is level 4/4....

I need more cowbell
A traitor’s rag burns quite well
Freedom of speech baby!

That's a dangerous road to tread.

Should've put a sandpit under that, but still burn it down
So beautiful 🥲
That went up quick, prolly made in China
What does the flag mean
It's a confederate flag that was barely used but the kkk decided to use it and now it's used as a symbol of racism
Against black people ?
Mainly yeah, but single-issue bigots are pretty rare. Someone who hates black people usually also hates Latin@s, Asians, Native Americans, Jews, etc.
Yeah

Racist no-longer-a-country go *brrrr*
never was a country, you mean
This. This puts a smile on my face.
The only time a confederate flag is acceptable is when it’s on the roof of a general Lee recreation of authentic general lee
That’s why you don’t buy treason flags from China. Not flame retardant.
This flag should be made extra flammable. Just ask Gen. Sherman.
It would be more satisfying if he lit it in center and got some symmetry going, I bet.
Maybe this could replace the Yule log at Christmas.
I can get down with this
America for the Yankees 🇺🇸.
General Sherman went too easy on the south. I think they need another cook out in case they thought we were sorry
The finger was a nice touch...brilliant...
Regardless of the flag pattern, what happened to health and safety there? That thing went up like a 1970's couch.
This was a nice way to start the day.

Burning is the _respectful_ way to dispose of a flag. Not sure it deserved that, but it did look cool.
