 Sometimes the things you think you know are the biggest obstacles to real understanding. Many conservatives have this problem when it comes to what they believe about freedom. https://nostpic.com/media/ec99edc5567e02815fb15020285e2fa8390931cedf59c83d6bb2c5f6ee1530b9/07d7f270808ff7a71ff6d6e9ab35400c027c6d0002c33521f6d1be852efd8629.webp

 Not exactly sure what you aim to imply. Do you think putting people in cages for burning a flag will stop the destruction of the past?

 It’s mostly the same radicalized people doing both. Remove the cause of their radicalization and solve the greater issue.

 I agree with that. And I think the cause of their radicalization is the original abandonment of princples that fueled obstacles to upward mobility & the corruption of institutions that fill them full of lies. If there was no pool of stolen loot to be directed toward things no one actually supports then none of this would be happening.
