They did kill someone last time around, tbf
balkanization leads to wars and terrorism, sometimes foreign occupation too. more workable schemes for devolution of power seem desirable if lacking in an abundance of historical examples. the confederacy was not a good thing though and i'm not backing down on this.

You don't seem to understand that liking it is secondary to having to live there, and that the wants of the man in San Francisco aren't the same sensitivities as the wants of the man in Alabama. And of course, I would prefer peaceful divorce to violent balkanization

I agree with you completely that it's not good for civil society or functional government to try and govern too large of a group with too diverse opinions & values under a single government. I disagree with you that the confederate flag is ok.

I don't even think the confederate flag is ok, I just think it being bad is irrelevant because part of that taste precludes the other in a pretty obvious way. If every flag was removed tomorrow voluntarily, I wouldn't care.
