Rebel Flag

I don't seek to change your mind, all I'm saying is that it's more nuanced than you think. It's all in the eyes of the beholder

It's only been a minority of people who fly and desecrate this flag under hatred and militantism. And these bad actors don't speak for everybody. It ain't the same as the Nazi Flag, a flag that is completely used for evil. It can't be compared to that. Just 'cause a minority of evil people fly a flag, don't change it's overall meaning for the other majority. Just like Old Glory, our national flag. Many people around the world especially many Iranians see that flag as the great satan, they burn it, they see it as only a flag of genocide, murder, and degeneracy.

Is that what the American flag is to us though?

@brandonpkatz I understand if you see it as a hateful flag, as it has been used for just that, and to say otherwise is denial. But it's more nuanced than you think. (idk 'bout outside the South but) Inside the South the majority of people who fly this flag don't hate other races, ethnicities, or religions. For many decades this flag has been reclaimed as a cultural flag for the South (as Cascadia, New England, Acadiana, and many other parts of the country have their own) and a symbol of being a Rebel. Live and Let Live, don't be controlled by overbearing authorities, and exercise your freedom.

Sorry Steam only allows 1000 characters so this is gonna be spanned over a few comments

Eh your trailer parks idea is pretty spot on too.

Do we feel the same way about a certain flag used in Europe last century? History is always important to teach, there are so many ways to do that though and this flag was used for such a brief moment in time so I don't really get that argument. Also, state's rights for what exactly?... know what I'm saying? It's very frustrating when people pretend that this symbol today isn't primarily weaponized by certain people against certain other people to instill fear and assert power. Tribal, animalistic crap behavior. That's why you see it far outside the South and often right next to the flag I referenced in my first sentence. In the heritage/hate debate, it's usually hate at the end of the day. If this flag is used for historical scene building in CS, that's a good use of it. That's about it though. Just a random stranger's opinion for personal consideration.

I just don't personally see a problem with the flag, it represents something else to me than mainstream media portrays

Thanks for the flag. History is history, and we shouldn't be afraid to teach it, regardless of whatever representation.
