Sure, let's just completely treat the South like we are the districts from Hunger Games. This is some bullshit.
this isn't about the south, it's about treason. this is the flag of a nation that never existed.
It's a flag of a bunch of losers. Why would anyone want to fly the flag of some traitorous losers?
it's because they're racist, and the long for a return to the days of open, de jure racism. they believe treating anyone other than cishet white christians as fully human is a violation of god's intended order for the world. they're monsters.
So, losers! Explains a lot, really.
And for many of us who grew up before Dylann Roof sparked the bans.. that flag just meant "of the South"
Nothing more or less, by demonizing it it looks like you're demonizing us and demanding you thank us for it.
you can be wrong about whatever you choose to be wrong about, but that's the flag of racist traitors. always has been, always will be.
No you labeled it that to scapegoat a people for ongoing racial issues.
no, it became a racist traitor flag when racists flew it during their failed attempt at treason
Fun fact: the Confederacy lasted about as long as Google Stadia.
