Buying flags is participating in capitalism.
Real proles sit in a dark empty room because fun is bourgeois.
I iron my commie flags but not my pride flags
This is the way.
I hate this
Your problem
The clothes iron is a tool of capitalist oppression and my source is that I only ever iron my clothes before a job interview.
steaming can also work
don’t need a steamer, can hang in bathroom while taking a hot shower
the grommets, if present, can be put in shower curtain rings for convenience
if using a machine dryer for clothes, can add flag
or if hanging indoors/outdoors, wet and hang flag
-- I thought we were having steamed clams
-- Oh no I said steamed flags
i dont own a clothes iron:(
all you need is a hot knife (stovetop) or a baking sheet (oven) & some patience.
fuck you I'm gonna become an
anarcho-syndicalist again
sometimes i iron my work trousers instead of running them in the washing machine
is this allowed??? fukin stop me if you can
Ironing flags is for straights and fascists.
Why tf do some of you not own irons you can get one from a thrift store for like $5 and you should have one if you ever wear clothes nice enough to have buttons on them
Counterpoint, most wrinkles work themselves out after a couple hours of wear.
you should have one if you ever wear clothes nice enough to have buttons on them.
Most clothes, even dress clothes, are now wrinkle-free and some shouldn't be ironed at all. This is especially common for women's clothes. I genuinely do not own a single article of clothing that would ever make sense to iron.
Really? Most of my dress shirts say wrinkle free but only one of them actually doesn’t need to be ironed and that one looks like a normal dress shirt but feels like athletic wear
Often I don’t have to iron a whole shirt, but it’s useful to fix a collar
I do not have a single article of clothing with a collar that could be viably ironed.
Okay you get a pass
The rest of you though
if you ever wear clothes nice enough to have buttons on them
why would i do that
To look cute
sorry im white, if i wear button down shirts i just look like im going to invite you to the local mormon church
Who owns an iron in 2024? Couldn't be me.
I don't own a clothes iron
Trans flags with little square wrinkles pinned on a wall is so ubiquitous that I'm declaring it the standard protocol for display
But I don't own a flag.
Check mate, liberal.
Do what you like with your flag.
Fuckin' centrism
Now why would I own a flag?
If I need to say something, I'll make a banner for the occasion, but what use is a flag to me?
the pride flag on my porch is a nice pop of color in the middle of drab and dreary winter!
Oh hey I hadn't considered that. Gonna have to buy a flag now I guess.
If you're not handy with an iron and you don't have a garment steamer/are not going to invest in one (I strongly recommend them though - they are useful things) then remember to use a very low setting on your iron and for extra safety place a clean piece of fabric on top of your flag before ironing.
The fabric will help temper the heat coming from the face of the iron and it will reduce the likelihood of melting or getting weird shiny patterns due to the very tips of the flag's material getting melted down.
Remember that it's better to go slow and steady, using a decent amount of downward pressure, to iron synthetic fabric or blended fabric because if you go too hot it risks irreparably damaging it; you can always increase the heat of the iron if you need to but you can't un-melt your nice flags if you iron them too hot.
Ironing your flags is bourgeois decadence
I agree! I have my wife iron mine at 5:30 every morning so I can raise it at 6:00.
Mine is such low quality, pretty sure it would melt.
Steam your commie flags while you shower like a true prole
Irons are irrelevant
I was already ironing everything to begin with.
I ain't straight, why should my pride flag be?...
Because it FUCKING LOOKS BETTER!!
I don't own an iron so I tried the shower trick a few times and it didn't do anything
I think those plastic-y flags are immune
I don't own any flags.
Does it really matter at the end of the day?
