So if you are one of those , feel free to fly it, not that you’d listen to anyone else anyway

Yeah, mostly this. It is one of a piece with gigantic, loud pickup trucks, 'live free or die' slogans, strutting around with weapons, speed boats with five outboards, I could go on. Mostly guys with fragile egos and threatened self esteem desperately trying to convince mostly themselves that they are real 'men'.
I find it all rather pathetic, but they need to do more than that to genuinely offend me.

What does the COnfederate flag represent if not defending slavery and "wealth rules" ?

Yes, and some politicos still believe that way.

Apologies - I was not clear. I was only referring to the skull and crossbones in this comment. I am 100% with you that the CSA flag, swastika, et al are in a different category and worthy of firm reprobation. I feel that the skull and crossbones are not in that category.
Thanks for calling me on that.
