How to interpret the flame on the flag in this community (hexbear.net)

Hey, I am just naive. Is the political vision of this community to make europe burn or to show europe is burning?

As with most flag burning, the intent is to express extreme dissatisfaction, so any burning flag emoji essentially says, "fuck this country/political/economic entity and the evils it has wrought".

Thats how i understood it ofc. But I do not agree with the axiom "Internet is ment to express dissatisfaction". Would'nt great socialists of the past condemned this line of thinking and instead use it as a tool?
