I'd like to think it's misunderstood.

So....
Am I a racist then?

You might be, but your snake flag has only very vague intimations of potentially being related.

Wow, that's very assumptive of you (Is that the right word? I think so...)
But its whatever at the end of the day.

How should anybody know if you're a racist?

Presumptive, but that's problematic because it could also mean presumptuous. I'm not impacting your station, I'm speculating on the possibility of your being racist based on being near a flag that people have used to associate with race; despite it being just a snake flag.

Nothing about you or your actions could ever meaningfully deflect the accusation of racism; it's a hidden attribute. You continue to be as you are, and people decide if they want to call you racist or not. Then you either one day reveal you are infact racist, or people go on dealing with the fact they don't know.

No amount of denying their assumptions will meaningfully impact those assumptions.

Idk, its the internet, how should I know. Innit everything here supposed to be true?

Anyone who tries to link that flag with racism or extremism is the type who will try to find something to ♥♥♥♥♥ about, not a very endearing personality type, but they have nothing better to do.

Guess were all racists then. Following your logic I can assume anything about anyone, and it might as well be true... Kinda makes it's own self irrelevant.
I mean I could assume that everything you say is a lie, which makes your logic a lie, but if that a lie, then it means I can't use that logic, making it true again?
Your own statement contradicts itself.
So what now...

The racist extremists who use that flag are definitely the type to find something to ♥♥♥♥♥ about though, so he's not 100% wrong.

I don't know what that flag is but nowadays the definition of far right extremist is having common sense.

That is true, but its also true of most flags. Now would I encourage what extremists have done with the flag? ♥♥♥♥ no. I would never encourage political violence or action of any kind on either side.
The main question is just flying the flag enough to make me an extremist.

Thats a revolutionary war flag dont see a problem. Flying the conquered southern countrys flag would be a problem

I am pretty sure any racist extremists are part of the paid-activism movement by now...

I prefer the "oh please step on me" flag
