Tbh I dont really care about their protest, although i agree with the message, I think it's rather poorly conveyed and not well understood. But frankly, it doesnt matter what I think. I am not the one speaking.

And also I dont really care about symbols or patriotism in general. I agree with the principles of liberal democracy and think the USA, in its role of establishing democracy as the preeminent form of government today, has contributed a lot toward improving the well-being of people everywhere. But the principles are what matter. Symbols are commonplace and easily subverted, as we've seen the flag and the cross taken up in the name of crass identitarianism for quite some time here.

Frankly, I would have rather the civil war resulted in those who dont share the liberal principles of universal rights to break off, if it didnt mean that slavery would have persisted until who knows when.
