Presumably I'd at least end up on a list from this post, or if I already am on there, they'd add an underline.
That is in fact not a crime in the relevant country:
On June 11, 1990, the Supreme Court in the case of United States v. Eichman struck down the Flag Protection Act, ruling again that the government's interest in preserving the flag as a symbol does not outweigh the individual's First Amendment right to disparage that symbol through expressive conduct.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_desecration
Flag desecration is legal in the United States and carries no criminal or civil penalties. Based on Wikipedia's list, the US is more progressive on this issue than most other countries.
Is it "progressive" to not ban flag desecration? I would just call it "not idiotic."
Actually it's about a different country, gawd

Your supposed to burn it.
"when an American flag is worn out and no longer fit for display, it should be retired in a dignified way. The preferred method is ceremonial burning, but you can also bury it"
HOW DARE YOU SIR!
Why, I fought in two dozen galactive wars for that flag, but I'll fight tooth and nail in court for him - if it weren't for the fact that I lost my teeth and nails in 06'.
