Fuck no. Folding a flag like this before burning is how you respectfully retire it. Piss on it, ball it up, throw it in the fire, then piss on it while it burns. Sing union dixie or some shit while it burns for added effect.

Lol came to say the same thing - this is actually the legitimate way to retire the American flag, for instance, though it is supposed to only be done when the flag is too worn to continue use (hooray boy scouts).

We can still burn em, but can't do it all respectful like.

Plus it's so much damned work for something I don't respect! Folding that one flag is like having to fold half of my wardrobe, ffs!

You need to be efficient with space so you can burn multiple flags at once

How about wiping our asses with the confederate flag?

You can also cut it into 2½-3in sided squares and have a convenient supply of toilet paper. Just don't flush it down the toilet, even your plumbing doesn't want it.

or dissolved in acid, or an organic solvent.

Forgot the step where you pissed and shat on it first before burning.
