With "I have different views" or "I have a reason to not like country XY and it is ...", you can achieve a conversation with someone about it. By burning flags or sending that action as emoji, you are just making sure to end the conversation as quickly as possible or to even prevent it completely.

If you take some time and ask on the streets, you will find a person who has a really good reason to hate a country and you can achieve this for all countries on the planet. And if they start to burn a flag on the streets right on front of a random person, that random person will probably think "What a f*cking idiot".

And it's quite ironic that you write a **3 pages long text **about the usage of a burning-flag-emoji and how it could be interpreted. If you want your view to be interpreted "correctly", then why posting 1 single burning flag in the first place instead of writing what you actually want to say???? It's like showing someone the middle finger and afterwards, I talk an hour with that person and explain them the long story that their dad and I once had a conflict.

One of my first moments of awakening that led me to becoming a leftist was seeing a protestor burn an American flag in response to the American intervention in Afghanistan in 2001. It aroused feelings in me that my stupid child brain had trouble putting into words. So at least in my case, a burning flag had a positive outcome, and I'll always thank that anonymous person who I'll never know. My greatest love of my nation's flag is its flammability.
