Non-american here. Why would u want to use ur flag as toilet paper anyway?

Counterpoint: why shouldn't you?

A flag is a piece of fabric. People who swear their allegiance to it only tell the people more powerful than them that they will do any horrific things they are told as long as it uses that exact pattern of colours. They lose their individualism.

Know what else is a fabric? Toilet paper.

Counter-counterpoint: it'll clog your pipes and ruin your septic system if you flush fabric.

That's really the only reason not to use a flag.

And a flag is not even very good at cleaning your ass. It's close to plastic and just spreads your shit.

No, it's paper. It's in the name.

I know. I was asking because the person I replied to said it was fabric, and my time working for a paper products company made me question their statement.

Yup, I was agreeing with you.

Ahh, so the goal of this meme is to reemphasize the right to free speech and expression and to remind people not to lose their individuality by being nationalist. Fair enough.
