@Gerry I don’t think it should be legal to fly the flag of defeated insurrectionists. Anywhere.
@robfwtx @Gerry exactly-thank you. That’s why trans people are being attacked so viciously right now. Unless you are a wealthy, powerful, white supremacist (all together - and I don’t assume anyone is/ i let them show me) the risk is death and imprisonment- and other things. I came out in 1998 in Provo, UT. I really do know what I’m talking about.
@Gerry @robfwtx I agree the education piece (US lack of education) is huge. For example, I grew up watching the Dukes oF Hazard so I have odd instincts of nostalgia around the show that are in direct conflict with my actual values & interests. We've all been conditioned in one way or another. & finding our way through in the midst of the misinformation age is a bit challenging. The only way past that is to talk, listen & learn from one another.
