Exactly. I would probably believe someone who spent many thousands of dollars to own one of the 20-50 existing, authentic Confederate battle flags [0] if they said they kept it as a symbol of "heritage." That's a real, historical artifact, worthy of preservation so future generations can understand what it represented.
I do not believe those who spend a few hundred to have it tattooed on their bodies, or people who buy one for $7.50 from China off Amazon [1] when they say such things, because there's no value in displaying a representation of a thing that's historically represented nothing but hate.
Owning and preserving an authentic flag shows a commitment to history. Displaying a representation of it shows a commitment to hatred.
