Too bad it was co-opted by a bunch of White supremacist shitheads.

Edit: I agree that it’s cooler but my point stands. I also own a certain Fred Perry shirt that was co-opted by the proud boys so that sucks.

Well considering I work for the government I’d prefer not to appear to be affiliated with a fringe group that is motivated by hate.

I also never said the Red Ensign has no value to me, I only lamented that it’s unfortunate that it’s being co-opted.

Pretty cringe that you jumped to conclusions so quickly.
