In attacking hatred, Etsy is actually engaging in hatred. They are falsely impugning the motives of millions of people who like and fly the flag, but have no hateful motivations in doing so.
Yes, many of those people exist. Probably millions of them. You can't wish it away. Truth is stubborn, and the fact is that when most people I see fly the rebel flag, they have not the tiniest sense of racist or hateful association with that act. You have that association with their act, but they do not.
If you think that the people who fly the flag are hateful and racist, you are wrong, you are ignorant, and you are incorrectly and irresponsibly fostering hatred against them.
Oh, but maybe it is OK to foster hatred against Southerners. They are just redneck racist hicks, right?
Feel free to have your own feelings about the flag. And the people who like the flag should respect your feelings about it, and they usually don't. But you should respect theirs, and you don't.
All y'all suck.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
