that's for the actual flag itself, not depictions of it

think about it, the media, hollywood and academia, all highly leftist institutions, are dying off despite the conservative government not intervening in their business at all
you should see ESPN's ratings, they're the lowest that they have been to date, meanwhile the one Steeler who went out to sing and salute during the anthem has seen his jersey sales skyrocket to #6
leftism doesn't sell anymore and I'm loving glad that it's going to be wiped out soon

when leftism dies off what will replace it? because libertarianism is built upon helping nobody but yourself (the very opposite of society) and conservatism is built upon opposing any form of advancement and moving backwards to traditional stuff (also the very opposite of society). then there's communism which just believes in stealing from everybody to make everyone equally poor (also the opposite of society)
what you probably meant to say was you can't wait for the SJWism in hollywood and academia to die off, because those are actually loving handicapped anyways. if you meant the former then lol haha okay lets kill egalitarianism and social progress, we definitely don't need it at all

well i want all white people to be enslaved. sorry, what i actually mean by that is that i want equality of all races.
if you're going to bring up a political argument at all you should at least have the decency to be concise. there should be no need for "he actually meant to say that", because obviously the two things i mentioned above are completely different in every way
(none of this is directed at you kott)

obama's presidency didn't stop unarmed black citizens being denied their liberties.
anyways, the fact of the matter is that they knelt. the reasoning and cause behind it could have been completely different and it wouldnt matter because they still knelt. they knelt for a reason.
i know you havent really been arguing these next two points but i just wanted to get it out: i see people bringing up dead soldiers to try and add value to their argument that it's disrespectful to the military but I have not seen one soldier so far that is disrespected by it. they fight so that people have liberties. they fight so people have the liberty to protest, whatever it may be. in fact I find it disrespectful to be speaking for those dead soldiers on people using the rights they died fighting for.
here is donald Annoying Orange tweeting about NFL players standing and locking arms instead of the supposedly "respectful and correct" way which is standing with hand and/or hat over your heart.
..and a photo of Annoying Orange being "disrespectful" by not following the standard routine (not sure if this is photoshopped or not but it doesnt look like it)
and a video of Annoying Orange being "disrespectful"............
Maybe he was tired... Wasnt paying attention??? Who knows... but for someone who is so adamant about others respecting the flag, he should atleast be more careful about respecting it the "correct" way or rather the way we have been taught to "respect" it.
The flag/anthem is a symbol of our free nation and democracy and also symbolizes our liberties as citizens. It is more "disrespectful" to the flag/anthem to ignore the denied liberties of others and then go and call others disrespectful for utilizing their protected liberties to bring attention to the denied liberties of others. Kneeling during the anthem is probably the most respectful way possible to protest denied liberties that the flag/anthem is supposed to symbolize.
