If I ever see a Nazi flag being flown, I am setting that fucking thing on fire.
There is this huge Confederate flag that flies near my house and the number of times I've wanted to set that shit in fire...
Though I fully expect to get shot if I went anywhere near it.
Folks displaying Tr×mp signs and hate symbols in the US are begging for others to come onto their property & vandalize their shit, just so they can do violence against the offenders.
If you plan to vandalize something, please be cautious. I've seen FB posts about how they'd love for "liberals to try and take it down so I have an excuse to open fire."
Psychotic.
As a former conservative, I know this attitude all too well. That's why it would need to be a precision strike.
bow and flaming arrow
I thought about it, even though my archery skills are near nil
That said, the only way it'd work is if the arrow had a mechanism to grab the flag.
The other way I would do it is if it was a trespass with people with military training who can watch my back while I lower the flag and replace it with the proper Confederate flag.
You can get some fairly high powered lasers commercially, might have some OK results burning flags with one of those? Would have to be a pretty non-windy day though. Do take care though not to be shining it in a way that it could pass through the flag and hit, for example, the eyes of a pilot in a far off plane. As @despoticruin@lemm.ee says, a laser should be treated with respect the same as any other weapon, makeshift or not.
While this could work, please don't go firing a laser powerful enough to set shit on fire randomly into the air. It's like firing a gun, that laser will fuck up whatever it hits and you don't know what's behind that flag. Easy way to kill a plane full of people by instantly and permanently blinding both pilots. I would look into artillery calculations and water balloons filled with bleach. Pretty easy to hit a stationary target with a pi handling trajectory calculations. Paintballs might be another option, bright pink.
Absolutely. I'll edit my original comment to mention the dangers.
Just the flag? Not the associated buildings?
What it some Nazi dickbag runs a Nazi flag up someone else's pole? They don't deserve their shit burned down, but I can see no case in which the flag itself isn't fair game.
That's far, far too respectful in my opinion, but I can't think of a better option that doesn't risk blocking the sewers.
The logic is Nazi flags are part of history so it’s a curriculum thing that allows it to be displayed as part of the lesson. So if you teach a lesson on the history of stone wall or obergefell v Hodges you can fly the flag? Nope, too woke
If that was the logic it raises the question of why we continue to ignore lgbtq+ history. Which leads us right back to the real reason.

Someone tried to tell me yesterday that Cascadia should welcome Utah into its ranks.
Lol, I say to you, random dude from, I assume, SLC.
Lmao even.
Are Mormons Nazis? Because Utah = Mormons. And this is what they are advocating? Asking as a Canadian.
