As a symbol of rebelion against the government
Freedom
A rather weird chose of flag since there is a gadsden flag used by libertarians internationally for exactly this, without other contexts.
But okay, anyway thanks for the explanation 🙂
@b05df304
I know that wikipedia is not always super neutral and accurate, but it says that the flag is definitely associated with racism and some other evil garbage, and has a long history of being used in racist context after the civil war 🤔
But okay, i'll assume you're right, then what do they mean by flying that flag?
@b05df304
WW2 also was "evil vs evil" situation from today point of view unless you discount the mores of the times. Sir Churchill was super racist, soviet union was fucking insane imperial violence machine and the US also had racial segregation.
But the flags being flown today are not so much about history as about contemporary narratives and modern meaning, and today confederate flag is widely associated with racism and slavery.
I'm not trying to say you're lying or misguided, since you likely know your country and people better than me 😀
It's just difficult to imagine for me that a lot of people flying a flag is widely associated with racism and slavery aren't racists.
@b05df304
That sounds a little implausible.
I love hitler jokes and i wouldn't mind to fly a nazi flag for the lulz and as a sign of protest. I am myself not a nazi, i don't hate queer or black or jewish folks, i just love jokes and don't like mr. Putin.
But 99% of other people who wouldn't mind to fly a nazi flag are... well, nazis 😐

Забавно что тут столько музыкантов, но художников помимо себя и еще какогото типа с mml который сюда не заходил уже лет 100 я не встречала

Алсо, я подозреваю что речь может идти о platform-wide банах, когда проблема не в том что тебя забанил пользователь потому что ты заебал, а когда тебя забанил платформодержатель потому что ты не вписываешься в его tos.
