Flag burning is a hot topic in the United States. There are lots of misconceptions about the legality of flag burning. I address the current legal status of flag burning in the US and whether or not it should be illegal. This video is mostly philosophical and highly controversial. The gameplay is Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

"Is it illegal?"
In some places
"Should it be illegal?"
No, because it's a piece of cloth and/or paper with a symbol on it. I don't understand what the taboo for it is
AMS97PS3 Pride is the reason why violence happens. Burning a flag shouldn't have an effect on a person.
Nazrat84 It doesn't offend me really, I just think that people who do it are idiots. But I have a serious problem with burning poppies.
I'm not American, but the flag is symbolic, it represents a free and fair society...
AMS97PS3 No it's not, it's a pattern on a piece of cloth, Flags are mass produced in china and sold internationally. It's not like burning flags from graves or tearing it down from a government building then trying to destroy it.
AMS97PS3 And anyway, a flag represents a country and what it stands for, but burning poppies is being disrespectful to the dead, who fought for freedom and died to make sure people had rights...
What he says at 9:36 - 9:48 reminds me of a quote from Voltaire; "I do not agree with a word you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
MrAttentionDuelist THANK YOU! I wanted to post that same comment, but I couldn't remember who said it.
MrAttentionDuelist said by people who have never protested or fought for anything in their lives
MrAttentionDuelist Voltaire didn't say that. It's a common misconception but the quote is really of Evelyn Beatrice Hall who was writing to Voltaire. It's kinda funny that his most famous quote isnt from him at all
Great quote
I think America should just adopt fire as our flag. Instead of cloth we just have Braziers. I think that's far more badass.
Then how would it appear in books and webpages?
Yeeeea then we would be known as the fire nation.
Steven Pace but everything changed when the fire nation attacked
Steven Pace But then WW3 would soon ensue ("Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked...") or whatever it is lol
dagoxo7arius
a burning page.
Any rational human being should know that burning a piece of fabric, that you own, should be perfectly legal.
Nathan Singleton Our country isn't perfect and protesting it is one of our fundamental rights.
w0joshcbrln0w You do realize that burning flags is no different than what the Nazis did to what they labeled "Jewish" books, right? Or what radical Islamists do. It is a sign of extreme hatred and contempt towards the people who the flag represents to burn a flag. You are saying you want to kill the people the flag represents.
w0joshcbrln0w
Protesting doesn't mean committing an act which means you want to kill the people the flag represents or destroy the government who represent the people, which is what burning a flag means. It means you want to go all nuclear (literally) on the country it represents.
w0joshcbrln0w its not any cloth. its the flag of our great country! That's disrespectful.
GreyWolfLeaderTW You're really good at putting words in peoples mouths.
Any country that punishes you for damaging a special piece of cloth, even if it is your own property, is not civilised.
RandomCanEHdian I ain't watched the video yet, just saw your comment as I clicked in. But the reason it should be illegal is because it antagonises people greatly. Causing conflict for no reason needed. (A flag doesn't need to be burnt to begin with).
RandomCanEHdian Its symbolic, more than just a flag
Its more than just a "special piece if cloth"... It represents so much more than that. It may not mean much to you, but it does to a lot of people.
iAxdy Just because someone doesn't want to hear something doesn't mean it doesn't need to be said. Same with this.
what about the constitution thats cloth?
"Because you don't burn a flag with your mouth, unless you're a dragon or something like that."
I laughed way harder than I should have.
TopalthePilot lol
I know it's not really what you're talking about, but burning an old or torn flag is a legitimate way to dispose of it. There's a whole ceremony for it.
Hive Lord preferred method no less
As a former boy scout I have been to multiple retirements of a us flag which is a more proper term than burning it and it made me feel good not bad it felt empowering not demeaning
The SnowmenKing I have too
+SnowmenKing yeah, I'm in the scouts too, and I've retired many flags.
He's talking about in protest
I just came back from a boy scout camp where we "retired the flag" by burning it...what a coincidence.
WindBlownLoincloth Retiring a flag is the only time an American flag should be burned, for it is the only and correct way to retire a flag.
WindBlownLoincloth I have never seen that before....
WARVANE Depends on which camp you go to, some camps do it, other camps refrain from it so they don't have to deal with angry SJW parents.
Yes. It is common practice to burn a flag that is folded to retire it when the flag becomes too dirty, tattered, etc. This video dicusses burning a useable american flag as an act of symbolism to make a statement.
It's official flag etiquette to burn it when it's too old or in a bad state.
There is absolutely no reason why flag burning should be illegal. It's one of the many facets of freedom of speech/expression. Maybe instead of getting your panties in a bunch over a piece of cloth, try learning about the atrocities that take place within our government day in, and day out. Maybe you'll understand why some people are angry.
Yeah America's the bad guy, it's evil. LOL
That flag represents the country in which you reside in. It's not a matter of freedom. It's a matter of respect so you should be a decent human and show the respect for the country that supports your rights
***** so instead of fixing a problem you tell them to leave? that doesnt seem very progressive
Microbyte Yeah because flag burning solves so many problems...
***** no i meant the government solving a problem
I am from Germany and to this point I didn't knew that burning flags is still a thing in the US. But good to know, nice video !
Well that is the proper way of disposing of a us flag and you don't burn it you "retire" it
Wir haben auch die brasilien fahne bei der wm verbrannt XD
7:1 Never forget lg aus Österreich
Mark Nutt I won't feed the troll bruh
I'm glad to see that SOMEBODY other than myself understands how the constitution works and agrees that it should be upheld.
I like driftors channel cause it's not just cod like some other channels, he talks about stuff in the real world and that's what I love about him, keep up the good work!
I bought and burned a Pittsburgh Steelers jacket just because I'm a Browns fan...
That's hilarious
I would love to burn Steelers anything. They play dirty af.
Rory McDonald do you not follow the NFL
Rory McDonald but you've never even heard of the Steelers or have you at least heard of the patriots
Rory McDonald it was at a 4th of July party
One of the most educated and interesting commentaries you've done, Drift0r. More of these pls
Amazing video, man you do your homework work, that's why I'm subbed
Great video Drift. I really appreciate how reasonable you are when you approach these controversial topics. You always provide us with flawless information and logical support. Thanks for being such a respectable person.
Do more of these topics driftor. I love controversies
I love conversations and videos about these kinds of topics. It's amazing to hear from individuals about there own ideas and own philosophy. I feel like these kinds of questions are the things we should be having in the real world with neighbors and other citizens in order to learn more about each other.
Great vid! First 2 seconds before commenting were awesome.
love when you do these type of videos driftor love your insight on things
Everyone should be allowed to say and think what they want. I don't see why not.
Synergie Heart Have fun saying anything bad about any fandom anywhere on the internet...
DarkGiga That's his point, you still can, but in the internet you can already do anything, I was once a badass 17 year old with an AK-47 see
Synergie Heart If you want to burn your own country's flag, you should just move somewhere else.
Tool0GT92 Well that's true, but it shouldn't be illegal, I mean this is supposed to be a free country... but if you'd want to burn our flag then I wouldn't know why you want to live in our country.
Tool0GT92 I hate this argument. You can disapprove of things your country does but still love your country. Not only that, but it's your home; it's worth fighting for. Protesting to make things better is the best freedom we have. "Love everything your government does, or GTFO," is the exact opposite premise our country was founded on.
Thank you drift0r for being honest and open about your opinions. Oh, and thanks for never having removed your epic dream series. They're rather important to me.
this is a controversial topic? thats hilarious
jordan3802 Yes as some are offended by you questioning their loyalty to an object. I stand behind continuing to allow the Confederate flag to fly in any southern state in which the majority of citizens want it. Now if that pisses someone off then by all means go out and buy a Confederate flag and throw it into your bonfire and roast weenies, its entirely your right to express your dissaproval of it, but its NOT a right or shouldnt be guaranteed to be removed/banned/hidden because it upsets you.
memnarch129 the confederate flag should be removed because it is blatantly unconstitutional. The man who designed the confederate flag specifically said it was a symbol for white supremacy over the inferior races of non-white people. That is racism, a hate crime, a crime against humanity, and most importantly in terms of the context of law it is unconstitutional and against the fundamental american values established in the declaration of independence. This is not an opinion. This is a basic fact that it needs to be removed/banned.
kingdellxValdez And we have our first SJW to respond. If you had responded nicely I would have taken your information and possibly would have agreed. But as any SJW you overblow things and go into a complete emotional meltdown.
kingdellxValdez I don't think you know which flag the guy designed, let alone the fact that the flag's design was rejected by the Confederate government and instead adopted by Robert E. Lee's army.
Secondly, racism is still protected under Freedom of Speech. Racism is not a "crime against humanity". A crime against humanity is the act of killing large numbers of people, not merely thinking that races are better or worse than each other.
+kingdellxValdez shouldn't be banned because it is "free speech". Even if you don't agree with it.
Hey Drift0r long time fan here, anyways I thought the video was well thought out and very fair. It's good that you and a few other gaming youtubers keep up with current events. You also word yourself very well so that many (even the younger viewers you may have) will have an understanding of the subject at hand. Keep it up!
Was that pun in the description intentional or not?
Lol
These commentaries are why I subscribed to you. Love how you think and speak
I feel like you are to smart to play video games all day
Drift0r, I love your commentaries like this so much. I find them very interesting and informative, personally I think that you should start a channel for commentaries like this.
Can someone explain me the Confederate Flag story?
Tahah Shaikh From what I understand ( not american ) it was a flag used by the southern states in the civil war, and those states was fighting FOR slavery. So basicly the flag represents slavery and racism.
There's also people who say they like the flag for historical purposes, but the main historical content behind it is still racism and slavery, that's all you need to know.
Ramon It was used by the southern states, not by south america
People didn't like how other people did stuff so they wanted to be their own people and not be associated with the other people. This movement started and grew until people fought back and they won so all people are together
The Civil War was a war over state sovereignty, not slavery. A racist man killed 9 black people in Charleston. In Facebook pictures, he can be seen baring the confederate flag (something a lot of southerners do as a sign of southern pride, after all, hundreds of thousands of their ancestors died for the cause). Now companies, in an effort to increase liberal appeal, are banning the flag. Which is not a symbol for racism, but is rather used by many racists, seeing as how the south has more racists.
Tahah Shaikh Uneducated people assume that it's racist which it actually stands for states' rights.
Kind of glad that the "in depth" is over for this season. I like these vid like this. Could you do some conspiracy theories? Even when the in depth series comes back, could you do one of these once or twice a month?? :)
Can someone explain whats wrong being a communist? And following communism?
Communism takes all of the rights from the people, and it also takes the people's money and gives all of the power to the government
Stevottty I really don't know.
paul skimina ohhh thank you
paul skimina In theory it does the exact opposite, the only problem is that people are assholes and prefer to not pull their own weight in society.
twistedbunny527 e.g. North Korea
Love these controversial topic videos :P Provides an educational/informative discussion and information! Thanks Drift0r! I actually feel smarter listening to you're videos!
It is just a piece of cloth. It doesn't matter
What it represents does matter
Kofdoskoi Yup and you are just a bag of water. It dosent matter.
xCitadel I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. If you are, that was a terrible comparison and it leaves me to believe that your brain doesn't function properly. We "Bags of water" are living beings. We matter. A flag is a piece of cloth. Why are you comparing these two things?
Llama King Not even worth explaining to you. You watch video game videos, and as we know video games are breading Anti-American homosexuals. Obama and his Nazi police would love to see the flag of Gods chosen country burned. Smh.. I'm not even sure humans are in charged anymore.
Kofdoskoi It's not just a piece of cloth, it represents something sacred to people.
I went into this video thinking that it should be illegal, but you reaaly changed my perspective. You brought up so many points that I never would have thought of. Well done Drift.
Also Marxism has nothing to do with wealth distribution
Grant Rodgers IIRC It has to do with democratically owned means of production or something.
Grant Rodgers Actually it does. It has everything to do with wealth redistribution, as Marx said himself, "From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs."
GreyWolfLeaderTW have you read Marx, do you have an understanding of capitalism? Marxism has nothing to do with wealth distribution, it has to do with means of production... You misunderstood the quote. He's not saying taking money from the rich by taxes or anything, he's saying that the rich are unnecessary, there's no need, and so we change the means of production to reflect that
M16A1srawesome what does iirc stand for?
Grant Rodgers If I remember correctly!
I love Driftor's philosophic side
This Is childish and uncivilized its just a piece of cloth on a stick
Yea but it's the the American Flag and people respect it because it is like respecting the country. Money is just a piece of paper but it's still worth a lot
Unknown but why do we have to respect the country? why do we have to worship a piece of the ground or an organized group of people?
dickface mcgee im guessing you dont respect your parents either
dickface mcgee you respect it because their are people sacrificing their lives to defend that "flag" everyday! If those people didn't defend that flag then you would be (most likely) be killed and or tortured for even saying anything bad about that flag, you wouldn't be able say anything you want to say, wemon would be treated poorly! My father died for this country and if you don't like it or respect it then get the hell out of it, then you will see really how bad it is in most the other countries!
dickface mcgee Because most of human history is a long train of abuses by tyrannical kings. You're very lucky to have a country which introduced the idea that governments don't exist to enrich the kings, but to protect the natural rights of the governed.
I know that my comment is but a speck in a sea of others, but I hope that you see it. I just wanted to say that you are doing a great thing by using the influence that you have to put out content that is truly different from a lot of other peoples. I think that videos like this are thought provoking, as well as, we'll thought out. If only in the sense that your opinions are based in fact and are reasonable, and logical. You have a mind that is more uncommon than not, and I just wanted to let you know that in my insignificant opinion, you are putting it to great use. You are most certainly using you're abilities to benefit society.
I feel like I learn a lot more with Driftor than any of my current teachers.
So many philosophical vids Drift0r, they're the best ones, keep at it!
you're a smart guy driftor, i love these kind of commentaries, and remember never be afraid to think and speak!
I think we're growing out of this thing being a problem more and more. Adults seem to care but at school where we're given the choice to do the pledge of allegiance, more and more kids are choosing not to do it. Of course, as I'm in high school this could just be some stupid form of student rebellion, but it's a thought nonetheless. Very interesting video Driftor.
Awesome video. I enjoy hearing about your opinions on various matters, it's very entertaining. Keep up the good work!
When you said about people banning ideas and things like, it reminded me of a book I read last year called Anthem "Ego". It's a fictional story that's in a society where all new ideas must be approved by everyone and they never progress. I think it's a good book and made me feel very lucky to not live in a society like the one in that book.
I'm very proud of you - making such a good and sophisticated video. And of course I support everything you said :)
I love your comentaries driftor because they are really intelligent and get you thinking
Love your commentaries drift0r!!
keep it up!!
Driftor have you ever thought about starting up a channel to post just these discussion type philosophical video and maybe stuff you wanna make videos about but doesn't really fit the channel. I really enjoy them and can't get enough. At the least maybe start posting these type of videos more often.
I really like the fact that you talk about these things and you are intelligent about it ;D
Hey Drift0r you should have a video on your opinions regarding Corrupt Governements , What causes them and How to prevent it happening.
I love your commentaries keep it up
I mean if you bought the flag then you should be able to do whatever you want to it?
Hey Driftor. My name is Eric and I am a 21 year old that lives in Phoenix, Arizona. I have been watching your videos for a long time; probably over a year. I never subscribed, commented, or even liked a single one of your videos. Don't take offense to that I am just not that type of person. I think your a great commentator and I love to listen to your view on topics like this. This video struck me pretty close. My whole family has strong roots in the military: my brother, sister, father, his father, and so forth all served our country. I am very much a patriot. I fly a never forget 9/11 flag on my truck and the stars and bars. I have had people roll their windows down and cuss me out because of the flags that I choose to fly. I believe that we need to remember the southern union. I do not fly it for hate, racism, or religious abhorrence. I fly it because if we try to forget the past we will relive it. I am proud of where this country began and love the history of our nation. I will never burn a flag that would never happen; if someone was trying to burn one in front of me I would most likely stop them. Having said that; I could not agree with your stance more. I tell people things like this all the time. The backlash I get is ridiculous. You should hear some of things that people tell me because of these "radical views" I have. I do not know if in the part of the country you live in; if you have speeding cameras or red light cameras? These are a direct result from the government inflicting our privacy. Like you stated in your video that me have maybe one third of the privacy we did before 9/11. I think about it a lot though. What if a law like no flag burning is passed? What happens next. I do not even want to get into the topic about Obamacare because it's hard to believe that the supreme court did not find that unconstitutional. I am glad you posted this video. It is a lot harder to say something like what I am when you have almost one million subscribers. My comment will maybe be seen by a few hundred. Well I hope you see this Driftor; you just earned yourself probably your hardest sub, comment, and like. Congrats. Keep on pushing boundaries I would love to hear more.
I think I could watch/listen to driftor talk about anything
I got a new computer about a week ago, and this is the first 60fps video I've seen on UA-cam. Looks so pretty :)
Real powerful video and I love you point of view! It makes perfect sense and I hope everyone else can understand you point. I am totally with you on this one!
I love these videos. They are the reason I am subscribed. Please make more
Half to a quarter? Sorry but that is just wrong. MAYBE 10% is left
Sorry but that is just wrong. MAYBE 40%
a secret heard of the NSA? Snowden? Remember?
Id say 10% is a good estamination
a secret Its more like 10%
white rapper with a ch-eazy name yea, if you are white. but if you are black or Hispanic or anything other than white, its more 1%
This may come as a shock, but as a former service-member, I'm with you 100%, Drift0r. I served the country I love to protect and serve under the idea of freedom of speech, religion, and other social freedoms.
Nothing but love here man, keep doing you. 👍
0:43 here from machine girl's dj set "the hurt-free network"
What's this mean
Wow I zoned out and watched the gameplay- what sensitivity does Driftor play on?!? Looks pretty high
I totally agree with you man! Freedom, like respect, goes both ways. Anything "good" needs to be balanced.
I actually read a article where the flag was worn out they burned the flag instead of throwing it away because they believed it was a better send off than just throwing the old flag away
My gosh... you're a hero drift0r... A HERO!!!
In Boyscouts we burn the old flags to retire them. It's considered respect to the flag by burning it because it retires the flag from its duties.
I love this guy when he goes on into his rants about history
Well damn, you made a point, before this video, I was anti-flag burning. But I mean you made a great case. Love the commentaries, keep it up
I stand by you Drift0r. You very literally spoke my mind. Great video.
Good video man, loved it!
If only you had done this video during middle of May , I would of gotten an A on my synthesis essay for AP Lang. Same topic!?
The description:
Flag burning is the "Hot topic"
Lol I will lead you the way out drift0r.
In Boy Scouts we would occasionally have flag burning ceremonies and we would be told only the US Military and Boy Scouts were allowed to burn flags or "retire" flags. We would not burn flags in hatred of the US but it was more just a way to get rid of old ripped and faded flags. That's why it was called "retiring" them. It was a very structured and serious ceremony and there was a speaker who read about the flag and such.
Drift, American here. I have agreed and I have often disagreed but still listen to your videos for perspective and rational differences.
This time I agree 100%. There are ideals and values that weigh much more heavily than subjective values. Freedom is one of those paramount rights we must keep
This is why I follow DRIFTOR. He's not afraid to speak his mind
Hey Driftor, you look like Mitchell from the AW campaign a bit.
2 things. #1 ur face at the absolute end of this vid is priceless lol and #2 hate mail inbound! Head down driftor!
Flag *burning* is a *hot* topic
...well played
I dont remember where i heard this but i think it nails what freedom is all about, "Freedom is what you do with whats been done to you."
Hey Driftor, when you record a video do you try several times to get the perfect video or do you just make one recording and say its good. Please let me know i am very curious.
Drift0r , could you perhaps make a video about sociopaths/phsychopaths? I remember you saying you had a small fear of these type of people , but I want to know more about you perspective on this topic. :) thanks
From the way he was speaking, I thought Drift0r was gonna say he was anti flag burning. So glad he turned out to be logical about it.
Flag burning is actually suggested in the U.S. If a flag is in any way damaged, like if it has a hole in it, it is disrespectful to fly the flag and you are supposed to burn it.
A good quote for the topic:
"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag." --- Father Denis Edward O‘Brien, Sergeant, USMC
Thoughtful video with cod in the background lol
Well thought out and respectful video to both points of view. Video about the current status of the Confederate Battle Flag please.
You look like Mitchell from AW when he had long hair. Were you the model for his character?
I think you should have said something about our procedure for retiring a flag. In order to retire (dispose of) a flag, it must be burnt. There is a ceremony that goes along with it, but in the end it's still flag burning.
Drift0r I don't know your political view or anything and I probably won't get a response but I am glad to see somebody that actually has commonsense on the Internet
Why would they make it illegal when that is how you dispose of a flag that had been over used?
"You don't burn a flag with your mouth unless you are a dragon or something"
- Best quote 2k16
Dritt0r can you do some research on gamer gate because it has and will effect the gaming industry
Personally there is no place for it.
Burning the flag should be completely illegal. Most of the time the people doing the flag burning are doing it for the attention and they wouldn't be able to defend their case for doing it intelligently.
If you dislike the country you live in that much to go ahead and BURN ITS NATIONAL FLAG as protest, no one is stopping you from packing your things and moving on. The reason these people don't do that is because even with the flaws of the this country it's still a pretty good place to live. Sure you may dislike somethings that others don't dislike and the other way around but when it all boils down to it this isn't a bad country to live in.
You've got a lot of freedoms that not every country has....including the right to burn the flag that represents the country that gives you the freedom to do just that. You want to burn the flag fine,but I do suggest you packing up your things and catching the next flight to another country.
If you can give a good reason in which you are burning the flag and aren't leaving then I'd love to hear it.
Otter because they need heat idk
Ever heard of freedom of speech? Yeah this is part of that.
Completely agree
chelseagrin24 You are correct (nice name by the way) It is part of it,but doesn't mean you disrespect the thing that it stands for you. They could easily take away freedom of speech and expression and you wouldn't be able to burn the flag.
Austin Tex I assume you're replying to me. First, not one part of my comment is sarcastic. You really can criticize me all you want. Also, If it's being "broadcast all over America", that just means you have an unpopular opinion. A little unfair to call people with opposing views bigoted, is it not? You assume too much about how people behave. It is unfair for someone to call you a racist idiot if you believe in God, but they can if they want to. Sorry if my comment came off as sarcastic, but it isn't.
''[...] Because you dont burn the flag unless you're a dragon or something like that.''
I catch anyone burning a flag you better bet you're waking up in an ICU at the local hospital.
Not if there's lead in your head.
Ubermenschi
Oh man that's edgy, you're really spooking me right now
Ivo Robuttnik ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Driftor u should make a video talking about how to start youtube for begginers
Good video, this was a quality one, keep me up.
I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. -Voltaire. A saying to live by.
I'm not sure if you have done a video on drug legalization, but what's your stance on drug legalization? Not just marijuana, but anything and everything pertaining to the war on drugs? I say legalize them all, but I don't know how we would go about integrating their legality into the market-consumer-trade relationship; it would seem like such a large jump politically and economically if they were all made legal at once, but I feel like that is the best end goal.
ease say "smokin' a blunt" more often, it was awesome.
Can you do a video on meat? On how some people (almost entirely vegans) say it is wrong to eat meat. Could you address if you think it is personally wrong to eat meat, your thoughts on how we give some animals different standards in terms of eating them, and what you think about people who eat some bizarre types of meat (such as dogs/cats, wild animals, etc). Been a subscriber for two years and would love to hear your views on the subject!
