Folding it first like this implies a level of reverence/respect to it that it doesn’t deserve. For instance, folding the American flag into a triangle, stars out, then burning it, is how we were taught to respectfully dispose of a damaged flag in Boy Scouts.
I recommend wadding it up, covering it in some bodily fluids, and then burning it while playing Northern victory songs to really treat it properly.
Yes, but will it burn as efficiently?
Well, you can also cover it in gas/lighter fluid to help things out I suppose
Naw man I’m a southerner and you’re missing a step, first you have to wad it up and wipe your asshole with it, then you chuck it in the burn barrel so it can die as a literal shit rag instead of a just a representative shit rag
Be glad that part wasn’t included in the meme, however.
You know I’ve never thought of it before but I’ve never actually seen another human being wipe their own ass and I’m pretty happy about that. It’s a difficult image to process
I thought the confederate battle flag was all white.
Not sure if that was a joke, but FYI the final flag of the confederacy was not only literally a white flag, it was a dishtowel. 😂 🤣

Sorry, I didn’t get the joke. Thank your for your explanation.
The battle flag of East Frisia, a German region, supposedly shows a white eagle on a white background.Sorry, I didn’t get the joke. Thank your for your explanation.
At the risk of over-explaining -
I think the other commenter was (possibly) kidding about it being a white flag, because over here (US) the only place most of us have seen a white flag used to surrender is in cartoons and such for the most part. (I think this is probably true elsewhere today also.)
I was surprised when I learned they really had used a white flag to surrender at Appomattox and (out of disdain for the confederates) I find it super amusing that the white flag they used was literally a dishtowel they had on hand.
According to Wikipedia, this is the correct flag. However, some had square shape.
That link showed me how surprisingly progressive the confederacy was. Who knew Mississippi had an army of the Trans.
Edit. Cute flag too.

Ah, yes. The loser’s flag.
I prefer to think of it as the bigot’s flag these days, but either/or.
I believe after you’ve folded the flag you then soak it in bleach until completely white for proper historical accuracy.
Proper usage is to line the bottom of your trashcan with it. Nothing is better at containing fetid garbage juice than the stars and bars. Best part is, they grow on the back of rusted out pickups, so you can sustainably harvest a new one whenever your old one gets too cakey.
How will I use it as tp? Do I use it as tp first?
Presumably that will make it burn more easily. It’s fuel.
And conversely, being on fire makes it significantly less suited for wiping your nether regions with.
That’s why you plan these things out. Have extra spicy Thai food the night before. Then you won’t notice.
Second step should be to drink a bottle of SUPREP.
Third should be empty entire content of bowels on the flag, then follow the rest of the steps in order.
Might want to lay down a tarp first, that sounds hardcore.
I still find it hilarious that the right wing - who allegedly “support the troops” - has incorporated the two groups who received the biggest beatdowns in US military history: the Confederates and the Nazis.
These shitty flags are probably made of synthetics like nylon and should be properly incinerated to reduce harmful gases from escaping.
Please don’t actually do this because most flags are polyester (plastic)
