      But you have no way of knowing what the confederate flag means to them without actually having a conversation.

      My guy, it’s a meme. See the sidebar - “joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment.” It’s a criticism of the ‘heritage’ argument by blasely referring to Sherman’s March to the Sea, a campaign of property destruction which brought the traitorous, slaving South to its knees, as Yankee ‘heritage’. No one here is actually advocating for burning down people’s houses for the sin of flying a Confederate flag

      Punching someone over a flag seems like one of those snap moral judgements you said a society cannot endure.

      Yes, society cannot endure it. There’s a reason we don’t allow it.

      That there is a reason that we don’t allow an action, that I support that reason, and that that reason is valid, is different than saying that the action is immoral.

      Like…burning someone’s toddler alive. The blindingly obvious problem is they don’t have to live alone to fly a flag. Tell me it was an unacceptably racist labrador and you had no choice.

        I saw you change the details, is it because deep in your heart you realize all Pomeranians are unacceptably racist? :p
