Bet Germany kept all their Nazi propaganda proudly on display as part of their history.

I'm actually German, the only reason I'd have a bunch of swastikas on my walls is obviously because I'm proud of my culture.

The Confederacy fought for slavery and they lost. Was slavery the cause of the civil war? Maybe not, but they still fought for slavery.

This is like being proud of Nazi heritage versus being proud of actual German culture. Hicks just have to be hicks, though, and there sure are a hell of a lot of them. Gotta get those southern theatrics in.

Because apparently fighting for freedom is literally the equivalent of a regime stuffing people in ovens. More importantly, this isn't even about flags so your whole false equivalency is even weaker.

As for the support of slavery, anybody who supported the US government during the revolutionary war therefore supported slavery and we have statues built to honor famous slavers, not to mention on our money. Benjamin Franklin? Slaver. Washington? Slaver. Jefferson? Plantation owner. Lincoln? Well, he didn't own slaves, but he also didn't wants blacks in our country. However, if the reason for objecting to these statues is slavery, why not tear down the Washington monument as well?

There's a difference between reminding people of terrible history, and putting that terrible history in a place of reverence, like a literal pedestal in a public square.

Gee, the Washington monument is pretty prominently placed and, among other things, he was a slaver. He was also a rebel who slaughtered countless countrymen. Does that sound familiar?
