53. Traitors to what, exactly?

Flags as symbols are commonplace, but they don't symbolize the same thing to everyone.

I know that the confederate flag symbolizes different things to different people. So does the American flag.

The American flag is, to me, a symbol of patriarchy and nationalism. The confederate flag is a symbol of arrogance, greed, racism, and classism.

Who is a traitor to what, exactly, with their use of such symbols?
