The Civil War Historian in me likes to point stuff out. What flag are we talking about? Is it This one?.svg) or This one?.svg) or maybe This one?.svg) Because those are the National Flags of the Confederacy. I'm not naive, I know which one they are flying, it's This one! So I don't support it at all, but at least KNOW what the flag represents. That last one, NEVER flew over a Confederate State Building, it was flown in BATTLE, often with various numerical designations and symbols on it, and usually by Virginia troops, though not always. Also look at THESE FLAGS (Battlefield Trust is a bomb ass resource for Civil War History), some of them don't even look like things you'd associate with the Civil War.
What is the point of this ramble? Education is key, and most of these folks flying these flags have no clue what they even stood for. It has been bastardized by White Supremacy and Hate Groups into a symbol it never war. But yeah, don't put it on your truck/car/house. It DOESN'T REPRESENT heritage anymore. You want heritage, go find out what unit your ancestor served in, research them, find their information and then figure it out.
TL DR?
Confederate flag is a subjective term, people don't know shit, totally agree with OP on this one.
