You’re not advocating for violence
Is he not? He said only violence gets anything done and "that guy threatening landlords is, like it or not, correct." I guess you could be extremely generous with assuming he likes society exactly as it is?

I just moved instances because my old favorite has so far refused to defederate. I'm willing to deal with the idiot takes, the trolling, the nonsense sources that are almost always youtube videos, and their impressive ability to both support and denounce authoritarianism in the same breath. It's important for me to look at propaganda from multiple perspectives so that I can try to think through it and understand where other people are coming from. But 99% of the time they don't even express real opinions; they just flood posts they don't like with obnoxious images. Just for that, I'd take Lemmygrad over Hexbear any day of the week
There is no taking back the flag in the short term. I don't think it's possible to wave the flag without implicitly excusing all the atrocities our country is perpetrating. Until we stop passing anti-trans, anti-woman legislation, correct our horribly gerrymandered congressional districts, stop electing a plurality of racist politicians that are able to enact oppressive, even if not explicitly racist policies (like redlining and cutting funding to public schools), allowing homeless populations to expand, and on and on...
That said, I'm not sure there are many (if any) countries that have clean flags. I think nationalism and patriotism in general are ignorant. Nothing wrong with being proud of your community, but the community you describe is small; very local. That can't be called patriotism.
