That's what I said, a battle flag for the CSA.
Maybe, but Nothern Virginia was only a part of the CSA. Splitting hairs maybe, but to be accurate, they are not one and the same.

also ProudBoys are going to incite violence every time they canThose things don't really highlight anything other than wonton violence and looting because criminals will be criminals and take advantage of a given situation. The protests intent is to highlight injustice. The criminals intent is to get theirs regardless of the message.
i'd be interested to read/hear someone describe the difference between US and German counts/speech laws and swastika vs stars and barsPersonally, I feel like the Confederate Flag is the one thing our Freedom of Speech/Freedom of Expression rights should not protect, and it should be considered treason or some sort of crime to brandish it, but that's just me.
To me, it is a symbol of treason, it is a symbol of division, and it is symbol of a segment of society that literally went to war because they did not want to give up their free black slave labor.
I believe it should be banned, and people should face fines or jail time for displaying it in public. Don't care what others think, and don't care if that sounds anti-American to do. This flag or any symbol of the Confederacy of the United States has no business being glorified on United States soil.

yes couRtsCounts? Did you mean courts? Just curious.
As for Nazi and CSA speech, I don’t see a whole lot of difference between the two, and both should be given the same treatment.
I always did wonder what the world would look like today had the CSA succeeded in splitting from the Union. I don’t think it would have been pretty.
don't misunderstand, i agree. it is just unfortunate that a simple flag had become a symbol of hatred. the flag was just a flag. it is not responsible for what it has become decades after as a poster child for hatred. the "south" was in the wrong. i also disagree with erasing history, but it is hard when people abuse it. that is what the confederate battle flag has become.It was a battle flag used by people who wanted to fight for the right to buy and sell people. It's not a victim of hatred and bigotry. It IS a symbol of hatred and bigotry.
