That’s like the nature of having a flag for a country

If we got a new flag the left would embrace it and the fascists using the old flag would be out in the open

Homie that’s so short sighted it’s crazy. Excluding zohran mamdani, when has the left embraced anything?

The thing though is that fascists would never use the new flag and it would become as unacceptable as the confederate flag

The old flag that is that becomes unacceptable

If you think the current social position the confederate flag sits in is a thing we should be emulating with our current flag, you’re a fool. Have you ever lived in a place where they still fly the confederate flag? Because I have. It’s not as much of a social faux pas as you think. So what? We just have a new flag and the old one takes the place of the confederate or maga flag? No fuck that, they can’t have the American flag. It’s ours, not theirs.

So what we’re just supposed to accept a hate symbol as our national flag???

It’s not a hate symbol dude. It’s a national flag. Every single national flag is and always will be soaked in tears of joy and blood. It’s how it works. Should every country that’s committed an atrocity under a flag change their flag? Why? It doesn’t rectify the tragedy.

The swastika didn’t used to be a hate symbol either. If I see someone flying an American flag I assume they’re a fascist and I’m sure you do the same. Unfortunately we have to accept that
