    Occasionally, it's transplanted Southerners. But there really is not a valid reason for people with no Southern roots to ever fly that flag.https://twitter.com/jaynordlinger/status/1250533438010142722 …

    For several years, Confederate flags have appeared in my home state of Michigan. You can see them way up north, flown by descendants of men who fought and bled for the Union. What gives? Benignly, a spirit of cranky independence. Less benignly -- you know what: white nationalism.

        It's a symbol for states rights. Even Yankees will fly the Battle Flag in situations like that.

        Your answer suggests that there are circumstances where it is appropriate to fly the colors of a rebellion. None come to my mind.

        It has been a thing for as long as I can remember. It was generally flown as symbol of being ungovernable. A don’t tread on me type of thing.

        It has a strong identification with the regional identity of the South. Whereas, say, the Rhodesian flag is the flag of a different government for the whole nation.

        There’s no valid reason for anyone to fly it. If that’s a flag they want to fly, the South should have won the war.

        It is foolishness, regardless of your roots. It is less about white nationalism than about edgelord behavior pushing taboos to be rebellious. It is the right wing working class equivalent of college socialists wearing Che Guevara T-shirts, but with a racist tinge.

        There's really no need for those of us who have Southern roots to fly that flag though re-runs of Dukes of Hazard are acceptable.

        I'd rather never seen it flown again outside of Civil War battlefields & museums, but I understand that it has a regional identity/heritage component that it's not really my place, as a lifelong NYer whose family came to America in the 1920s, to simply discount.
