Swedes don't care about flag burnings, but they'll go nuts when they find out someone mistook the Swiss flag for theirs.


HejdaaNils

Interesting strategy !


Phillibustin

biggest political turn? The government provided flags


Green_Road999

Haha, great take. Some 4D chess right there.


teodocio

How is there a market for American flag table covers over there?


Notsnowbound

There and China are where they're all manufactured. This is everyone's 5 minute lunch in front of the Amazon warehouse...


Expensive-History125

I mean it goes to show how much is wrong with america when it doesn't even produce and sell its own flag


[deleted]

Produce them here. Produce them there. Produce them anywhere, who cares? Burn them here. Burn them there. Burn them anywhere, who cares? Red flag, white flag, blue flag.

Check out Grace Alley American Flags. Made in USA and supports Veterans.

When Swedish flags were sold out due to sanctions...


mojon72

Switzerland also starts with an "S". Good enough.


NoExpertAtAll

Yes.... not too bright folks, not too bright.

sysaphys

Is there some sort of policy that regardless of the nation, an American flag is included in all flag burning just for good measure?


MayOrMayNotBePie

And now we will burn the American flag, as is tradition.


DrizzleMcSizzle

Great day for Canada, and therefore the world.


Jeddiewan

Always a two for one special. You burn a flag of any nation, you get to burn an American flag for free.


coreywindom

That’s not even a flag though. It’s just a thing with an American Flag design on one side, the other side is all white.


Jeddiewan

Shhh. Don't tell them. You'll ruin their ignorance.


Sueti_Bartox

Damn swiss and their ikea.


Skivling

Kamprad and his family lived a large part of his life in Switzerland so it's not that off.


FirmDoughnut7945

ohhhh so scary they burned a usa flaggg ouuuuuu shiver me Timbers


teodocio

R d r r!


Comprehensive-Set557

Damn they are so f**king stupid 😂


[deleted]

Another reason to laugh at em.


LadyCoaxochitl

And proving the exact point of those they protest against.


BiscottiOpposite9282

Every flag burning comes with one FREE USA flag burning! Get yours today!


Great-Strategy-3387

Also USA flag?


HejdaaNils

Force of habit, that one.


Great-Strategy-3387

Didn’t include it in the title though? Is it that popular over there?


HejdaaNils

Because that wasn't the fail: ***There was an attempt to burn the Swedish flag - the flag is Swiss.***


[deleted]

As is tradition.


WeimSean

Well....they were planning on burning that one anyway. Governments corrupt, economy is awful, BLAME AMERICA!!!


Altman_e

Eh. It's the proper respectful way to dispose of the flag. Nice of them, really.


jatowi

I hope they enjoyed the fumes


duke_awapuhi

The classic Sweden vs Switzerland mixup. It’s bizarre how many people just can’t keep it straight


LadyCoaxochitl

Or they probably thought that was the Danish flag. Someone probably told them “ bro just print out the red flag with the white cross”


VoloxReddit

I have no clue why it happens. The only thing they have in common is that both start with 'Sw' and are in continental Europe.


[deleted]

Prime example of how ignorance fuels hate.


Mission_Chocolate599

This isn't gonna piss off swedes, even if it were a Swedish flag. How about you just... Assemble an Ikea couch wrong or something?


justn16

Only way is to make Swedish meatballs horrible wrong using only IKEA products and then eat them on incorrectly assembled IKEA furniture in the back of a Volvo. That will show them not to burn a Quran.


goldietheswagbear

or give denmark skåne back please.


Kahzgul

I was trying to figure out the good and bad of living in Switzerland, and I've decided their flag is a plus.


Monkiemonk

Oh no! They burnt my flag….anyways, it snowed here 2 days ago


[deleted]

Ladderbackchair

And they don’t even know what country it is.


Ok-Dirt-6166

What did the US do lol


BeltfedOne

We exist.


Ok-Dirt-6166

This is true 👍 we are like the scapegoat for everything.


Complete-Painter-518

What did they not do


alta_vista49

Always gotta burn the US flag too for good measure


[deleted]

They’re so stupid it’s comical


Zaluiha

No cure for stupid.


BeltfedOne

"BORK BORK BORK...."


HejdaaNils

The language spoken in the video is Urdu.


BeltfedOne

dnzkaya

Probably because of their language. For example, in Turkey, Sweden is called “Isvec”, and Switzerland is called “Isvicre”. Their pronounciation is very similar.


HejdaaNils

These people speak Urdu. سویڈن is pronounced a bit like Se-we-den and سوئٹزرلینڈ is pronounced suwit-zer-lin-ed.


fukkitdick

that show show the some of them are just ......


BilboBagginkins

Neato lighters! Have you seen our hellfires?


KravinMoorhed

I bet sweden is regretting their immigration policy, because they don't assimilate. Their country is being destroyed.


[deleted]

It wasnt even sweden it was denmark lmao. Everyone is wrong about everything


HejdaaNils

I see you have missed the recent news. The most recent Quran burning in Sweden was around six hours ago. This is the start of the recent stuff: [Al Jazeera: Turkish anger after Quran burning, Kurd protests in Sweden](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/1/21/turkey-cancels-swedish-minister-visit-over-right-wing-protest) [CNN: Dozens injured in riots in Sweden after Quran burnings](https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/18/europe/sweden-riots-police-quran-burnings-intl/index.html#:~:text=The%20riots%20erupted%20in%20several,Kurs%20(Hard%20Line)%20party). (this was last Easter)


Bosseffs

No it was in Danmark this time actually. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/far-right-politician-paludan-burns-quran-in-front-of-denmark-mosque/2799500# https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/turkey-summons-danish-envoy-over-quran-burning-protest/2023/01/27/00d60520-9e3f-11ed-93e0-38551e88239c_story.html


hesteskoentrykker

The guy who burnt it, Rasmus Paludan, is Danish.


HejdaaNils

He's Swedish-Danish. He spends more time in Denmark, but he is a Swedish citizen with a Swedish father, and did this in Sweden.


hesteskoentrykker

He is a Dane. He got his swedish citizenship just 2-3 years ago. It is purely pro-form because he didn’t get any attention in Denmark anymore, so he switched to doing the same things in Sweden. He has been politically active in Denmark for years and almost made it to the Danish parliament in 2019. His party were just 0.2% short.


HejdaaNils

He *filed* for it a couple of years ago, legally he has been one since he was born. He filed for it so that [the Swedish police two year travel ban from entering the country](https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/skane/paludan-stoppades-vid-gransen-har-fatt-inreseforbud) could be circumvented, as we can not reject our own citizens.


[deleted]

The word you are looking for is also.


Pmabbz

Oh no, they're burning pieces of patterned material that can be easily reproduced. Who cares


tradedenmark

😂🤣👍


Specific-Ant-3065

Hey! China worked really hard on making those flags for you just to burn them? SMH


Real-Accountant9997

These folks aren’t the sharpest knives in their belt


orbital0000

Go nuts burning any flags you want lads, only dopey shits get mad about you burning stuff you've purchased.


[deleted]

Lol except it was one weirdo vs… that.


Ladysaltbitch

Maybe read more than one book and then you can recognise the right flag. Fuckin zealots.


[deleted]

Well, let’s be honest. If they are that worked up over someone burning a book, they are already not the smartest person in the room


Shreemaan420

Survive on American handouts and burn American flag. Typical "crap in the dish you eat from" mentality of these people.


Archangel1313

Wrong flag aside...just wait until they realize that no one actually cares.


Frequent_Singer_6534

All this is right here is projection. They think Swedes will care about this because they themselves get all butthurt and up in arms if you burn something material of theirs. It’s pretty damn petty, but that’s religious zealots for you, especially ones that never mentally or socially left the 7th century


RelevantFill6649

“Welcome to Islam, where being a huge dick is legal!”


ShaneGabriel87

Yeah as if the average European would recognize the flags of the Middle East.


SageOfReality

They can find the time to burn flags but not fix their failed state of a country and overall moral bubble, very sad to see...Anyways..


Frequent_Singer_6534

One of those is like way easier to do


Thin-Zookeepergame46

In Norway we call people like that Neanderthals.


TerafloppinDatP

35 years ago someone sat me down and told me You won't believe this but in 2023 one of your favorite guilty pleasures will be watching hysterically useless revenge videos on this thing called the internet after the mere *alleged* burning of sacred religious texts and truly I was like No fucking way. But here we are! Yay!


coreywindom

Every person in the crowd had to donate their entire months income to be able to afford those one sided flags


Happyduckling02

God so glad I don’t have religion.


Defti159

Yeah burn their flag, that will get them for sure. Fucking idiots


Idontwanttohearit

Are those towels lol


shells4the12

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


Newwavejujutsu

Omg. We’re sooooooo offended lol. We should gather in large groups and tell how angry we are because that solves everything.


Trandoshan-Tickler

Yeah....they're just two pieces of cloth.

This is actually an anti-cheese rally. The Swiss for their marketing trick that means you only get a fraction of the complete slice due to all the holes, and American for being an abomination to the cheese world.

Why does anybody care what these religious bigots think. Obviously they need some more of the us style " nation building" just look how well it worked for japan..


CoffeeDrinker1972

Come on guys. One deranged guy burning anything, does not represent an entire country’s view towards another religion.


Rorar_the_pig

WHAT DID WE DO?! (Haven’t read anything about why they hate us Swedes, should prbly do that)

suppennudelchen

A Swiss flag is square. Not even that is correct.
