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.

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."
