              That's great, but I don't agree with CNN playing social justice warriors, calling up major retailers and demanding a statement on when they'll follow Wally World's lead and quit selling Confederate merch.

                Why not? That's the job of the press. And those companies have whole departments of people whose job it is to "relate" to the "public."

                  If Southern herp-a-derps want to wear Stars and Bars t-shirts and shout "The South Shall Rise Again!", I'm not in favor of bullying companies out of the market for the product (even though I suspect these decisions were inevitable, for corporate imaging reasons).

                  Flying the actual flag on the grounds of a state capitol in sovereign US territory is a completely different matter.

                    I agree, but I don't see what that has to do with the media contacting a company to see whether they're changing their policy. They can always give no comment.

                    Unrelated: the relative lack of availability of the symbol will now make it that much more of a prized symbol for the herpa-derps who want to shout that message, and in turn it will make it that much easier to know who you're dealing with when you see one. Like swastika tattoos, they won't be illegal, but they'll require more of a commitment, and they'll be very useful markers.

                      We need a corollary to Godwin's Law to cover "social justice warrior." That phrase sucks and needs to DIAF. Especially since its been coopted by the gamergaters.

                            Holy crap. Could we be seeing a Dixie Spring?

                            Lawmakers in Mississippi plan to propose legislation to remove the Confederate emblem from the state flag, as momentum grows across the south for symbols that evoke the era of slavery to be removed from public view.
