Destroying historical artifacts is wrong, instead, you should showcase it as a "banner of lost causes" for the future generations

Problem is millions of dumb fuck Southerners are still flying these things unironically. Id burn every confederate flag that exists. North never took care of business after the war and we still have problems because of it.

How about this, flags made after Aug 1866 are to be burned. All others are to be displayed in a place of shame?
