If it's not a flag about hate, what is it about? Southern pride/tradition? Pride in what? What did the South do that was so different from the rest of the US at the time of the civil war?

Oh, maybe they meant that it was about "love for slavery". It's a flag of love!

Fascist, racist, uneducated fuck ups.

Not defending it, but I think for them it means pride in their region/area/heritage. And it's not about anything deeper than that. It's like a college sports team for them. Like the rich white fan base for Duke, and UNC being just a couple miles away.

It's not, it's specifically celebrating racist traitorous losers.
