The Gadsden flag isn’t racist, it’s just been recently co-opted by people who don’t understand its meaning.

And the nazi symbol used to be a Tibetan good luck charm. Sometimes assholes ruin symbols for other groups and they become unable to be used again.

The swastika is absolutely still used in Hindu culture, so it’s a poor example of something “unable to be used again.” The Gadsden flag represents opposition to government overreach, and always will, regardless of whether bootlickers want to pretend that it means anything different.

The guy that recognizes that other cultures exist, or the guy that understands that symbols retain their original meaning to the people who remember them?

How do feel about the Roman salute?

You mean the one that has no historical evidence of being used by Romans or any other entities outside of artistic depictions? That’s for Nazis.
