re: #514 HappyWarrior

I was always weirded out by the Confederate Flag regalia I would sometimes see growing up. Not as much here in NOVA as you’d see more downstate and in the more rural areas but I certainly did see my share of CSA gear including a childhood friend who had one in his bedroom. I of course went a different path and ended up getting tattooed the emblem of a brigade of immigrants who fought for the union against the CSA.

Seeing it in NJ, PA, and NY is weirder still. Though, for the most part, it basically is useful as an idiot badge since those displaying it have no clue of the actual symbolism involved beyond believing it to be some sort of anti-authoritarian thing.
