So you don’t understand how public forums work or language itself, much less that historical facts aren’t “my thoughts,” gotcha.
Tl;Dr the rise of nationalism coincided with the rise of the modern concepts of race and are innately connected. Flags as the primary symbols of national identity developed along with nationalism.
Nationalism as a concept is capable of being separated from racism but the roots are undeniable.
That’s not what they said though. They said the conspicuous patriotism was always a cover for the racism.
It includes disgusting fucking revisionist lies, that’s why. The Vikings had a prolific chattel slavery economy, current estimates place it at around 30% of the population, which is about the maximum you can get away with before the slave revolts start winning.
The rights of slaves under it (basically none) are relatively well documented.
The argument is also a nonsensical nonsequitor that has nothing to do with the aftershocks of tribal conquest and absorbtion.
Yes, ancient cultures viewed things differently that we do, but the examples chosen are awful.
What they’re trying to get around to is that ancient conquests were rarely outright genocidal in nature, which is true, but it has very, very little to do with the claim about flags which weren’t even fucking national symbols in the cultures they chose.
Flags as a national symbol and territorial claim only became truly prominent in the Age of Sail and widespread European colonialism. The Romans and Vikings have fuck all to do with it.

When you phrase this as anything but being about control you’re playing their game.

Every lefty I know certainly can’t stop talking about how much they love Carter’s 1976 political platform, which everyone remembers and cares about.
I’d prefer they follow their leader but there’s always tripping to hope for
Unconstitutional means “illegal”
Wonder why they were targeted.
Hmm, community rules don’t say no porn games though.
