Yes I conflate the Confederate flag with violently taking someone's life away irreversibly. Because that's the meaning behind that symbol.

- Dylan16807 6y agoSymbols are not literally the things they represent.
- freehunter 6y agoNo, but they do symbolize the things they represent. That's actually where that word comes from.
- whynaut 6y agoWhen your parents buy you a Hot Wheels set for your 18th birthday, and say, "What are you waiting for? Hit the road, [freehunter]!" you'll be fine. It symbolizes transportation. When your brother aims down the sights at you in Call of Duty and - gulp - pulls the trigger, you'll necessarily have him sent to jail. That's okay, though - when you're counting on your fingers and get to three, and... hey.. are your thumb and index kinda.. touching? you'll be right there with him.
- filoleg 6y agoSo, you are confirming that you believe that the act of displaying the Confederate flag is equivalent to taking away someone's life irreversibly. Displaying that flag is literally exactly the same as a murder in your eyes. Case closed, I don't think there is much left to say here then.
