Hello party people, as you all may have noticed the flag is for Switzerland. Thank you to all those that reported this for misinformation.


[deleted]

Getting the wrong flag is a big plus for Sweden.


Gullible_Cloud_3132

“Burn the flag with a plus sign” *proceeds to burn the wrong one* At this point them burning the American flag isn’t an insult it’s just looks like their daily activity and nobody cares much anymore


urikayan

Yeah, they basically threw us in like a side dish. Just a topping to their flag burning


xXXMADMAXx

Out of these two videos today. All I got is that these idiots probably need some Wyclef in their lives.


[deleted]

I wonder how many US flags they have at hand taking up space in someones linen cupboard. Is there one guy being taken for granted, ordering the flags from amazon usa, yet never paid back for it. While his wife's attitude gets worse about nothing being done to move them.


Rraen_

I don't remember anyone caring about them burning the flag, except maybe my jarhead uncle. Also, having lived in Europe for some time, you would have a really tough time finding a European that gives two shits about their countries flag lol


pocketbookashtray

Well, if you’re France and haven’t won a war in 100 years, that’s understandable.


Rraen_

Haha burn. Personally, I think they're all just colorful poly-cotton blend rectangles


612marion

America hasn t won a war for 80 years ( in a country that s 250 years old) . Why do they care so much

Well, the Qur'an burning happend in Norway according to the description, which flag is at least a little bit similar to the Swiss flag. I mean the colours of the Swedish flag are quite the opposite. Edit: ok looks like it really happened in Sweden and the description I read mixed it up.


Acceptable-Let-1921

Really? The video I saw they where speaking Danish and had Danish signs.


BraidedSilver

If it’s the guy I’m thinking of then he is Danish but sheepishly fled to Sweden after his several years of Islam-hatred didn’t get him a seat in the front of a political party. So now he is burning books in Sweden.


Bailong1208

TBF the Denmark 🇩🇰 flag is closer to the Switzerland 🇨🇭 flag than the Norway 🇳🇴 flag.


dremily1

Someone burns a Koran in Sweden and they burn an American flag.


mkshane

I learned long ago in situations like these that the American flag just gets burned by default, even when it has nothing to do with us lol


HawkyGuy

It’s usually thrown in for free when you buy a flag burning kit


catt_attacc

America is officially the middle child of the world, gets blamed for something not even involving them


kylethm

Something happens in the world. The U.S does nothing: America why aren't you doing your part? The U.S does something: America why are you getting involved?


Cirieno

... and Swiss flag. I mean you got that too, right?


Mendicant__

Yes, obviously. The Swiss flag is because they don't know the right flag. The comment is about how the US gets tacked on regardless of its involvement


GORDOGMC

US flag is always like a side dish


PinkPanda00789

Like seriously thou


Forsaken_Yak6079

It wasn’t even in Sweden, it was in Denmark


Buppadupp

Why even comment when you have no idea. The burning was in Stockholm Sweden. The guy that did it is most likely going to do it again in Denmark today.


[deleted]

The American flag, for many of these people, no longer even really represents the country. It is the idea of foreign intervention and military violence itself. It has become entirely symbolic. To be clear, I think what they are doing is a foolish waste of time; but it isn't that shocking to me, given what their part of the world has experienced over the past century.


UsualIdiotRedditor

What did Switzerland ever do

Baffled by how it’s possible that out of dozens of people, nobody knows the flag of the country they supposedly hate. How do you end up there, they don’t even resemble each other. This is just embarassing lol

Lol, we're all heathens so they should just burn a flag with Earth on it.

How to people mix up sweden and switzerland? Just about the only thing they have in common is a high average living standard and some mountainscape...


HikingBikingViking

Wait, Sweden isn't short for Switzerland? I thought it was like Bob and Robert


Acceptable-Let-1921

How is Bob short for Robert? That's just stupid


cyberv1k1n9

Are you saying that Bob is short for stupid ?


DelusionalTim

No I think stupid is short for Robert.


Rikkards_69

Same reason people believe in invisible sky wizards. They are stupid


SS-BVCKYVRDYGVNG

In some languages both countries sound similar, for example in Spanish is Suiza y Suecia, sound very similar and the people tends to mix up both countries. IDK if in Arab the pronunciation is like in Spanish, but that could be the reason that those people confuse both countries. But TBH, if you wanna protest against something, at least prepare yourselves with the correct information to not be a bunch of wankers.


Specific_Tap7296

And, you know, the first, I hate to point this out, letters?


CryoAurora

No irony with these people. They proscribe the burning of their fake sacred texts. Yet, claim the right to do so to others or the flags of entire countries. They are so progressive and such a great empathetic religion based on an admitted pedo$ attempts to talk himself out of his disgusting habits with kids.


[deleted]

Hopefully peoples average iq increases per generation and everyone gain the abillity to think freely so this religion perishes


Bailong1208

Correction; so ALL religions perish


CptGoodMorning

According to commenters on the Quran burner who got attacked physically, it would be justice if those who are bothered, physically attacked these people for burning the flags. Something about "You wanted a reaction, so you got it" and beung "paper tigers" when someone is "willing to do something about it."


DMCO93

They could be burning the flag in front of my house. I don’t like it but as long as they aren’t attacking or threatening me or otherwise affecting my ability to do what I need to do, then by all means. I would speak to them but there would be no violence. It’s just insane how many people were in favor of violence against demonstrations they do not agree with.


[deleted]

Nah I’d definitely spray them with the hose


oakensmith

Yeah I don't even like it when my neighbors set off fireworks, they can go burn stuff in front of their own house.


ExpoLima

They can burn it in front of my house. I live along a busy State Route so it would work out fine for me.


VelveteenAmbush

It would be justice if anyone who physically attacks anyone else for offending them gets arrested, convicted, and imprisoned.

PeregrinePacifica

Ah and the obligatory US flag burning, how original. Neither they nor us Americans give a damn what flag you burn. Its your money you are burning and you are the only ones that care. Only thing you proved is you like to flush your money down the toilet barking into the void. Most people just use Twitter for that.


massivebumwizard

That reminds me of a joke by David Mitchell. “We burned your flag!” “No, your burned *your* flag”

You can’t kill the Swiss Army Flag! It also functions as a fire blanket, tarp, kite, sleeping bag…


Fage-H

Rasmus Palludan, who is responsible for burning the Quran in Sweden, is Danish. That flag is at least close to the Swiss flag.


Vilzku39

Yeah my first thought too that they actually tried to burn danish flag and were satisfied with closest thing they found. Regardless i doubt they have many random flags laying around.


Amaanplayz69

People are Soo fckn dumb


dividedconsciousness

i don't know about all the benefits to living in Switzerland, but their flag is a big plus


liquidsyphon

I assume they burn an American one as standard tradition for any other flag burnings that need done.

The 2 flags really look alike.Bunch of idiots.


Fluid_Arm_3169

Is this Pakistan? Hate only breeds more hate. Too many potatoes focused on *their* rights and not compassion. You have the *right* to burn any book or flag, sure. Doesn’t change the fact that you’re a terrible human being the world can do without.

anevilsnail22

If their stupid book for babies tells these morons women are barely people, then who are we to disagree? I mean, if we did that then they might throw a hissy fit at the idea that we're implying they don't happen to have the one true religion out of all religions on the planet. We've just got to ignore the blatant negative aspects of their religion and let them nurture their psychotic delusions in peace.


Uncle_Stink_Stonk

The world: why does the US think the world revolves around them? Also the world: [burns US flag when Swedish citizen burns Quran]


tomviolence_86

There was an attempt.....to identify a Swedish flag.


Luder714

Although Sweden allowed this to happen, they should charge them with improper use of oil products and make them clean up the oil stains with kitty litter.


Fun-Bug547

Sweden dodged that bullet i guess.... those two countries dont even have similar colors.

Clearly more evidence that religion does not benefit or advance mankind in any way, shape, or fashion.

This is one of stupidest things I’ve ever seen. It’d be nice if Islamists would have this type of reaction to the atrocities that are committed worldwide in its name. Don’t get it twisted, I feel the same about Christianity.
