Yeah I met an old ass biker from Tennessee who had what clearly was the remnants of a confederate flag on his jacket, he said he ripped it off but left the remains because he couldn't just erase what he had been and because it gave him a chance for people to ask about it, which I thought was strangely principled and I respect him. He's probably closer to being a comrade than most libs since he is already in the process of reeducating himself with a healthy distrust of democrats.

Wish I could have talked to that dude more and I wish I had got his number or something.
