I wouldn’t agree that this flag makes someone either of those things (in fact, as an outsider, I think it’s rather cool. Especially on like, a bikini), but on principle, as to your… Broader point - yes, yes indeed…
My view of the US civil war is pretty grey. On the one hand, slavery was bad and needed to be abolished. On the other hand, who the hell are these rich new yorkers to tell you how to live? especially after they waste zero time massacring natives as soon as the war is over, by an army of rich generals who sent their soldiers and conscripts to die with blunder after military blunder. Not to mention how the union burned homes and slaughtered innocents in their righteous crusade against the south, all to keep the rebels subjugated under their federal boot. The icing on the shit cake was how the union threw the former slaves under the bus once the shooting stopped.
