Coming from somewhere that has a very widespread flag culture I kind of get what he is saying but it makes little sense either way. When you’re at a protest against things the German state does, anyone who is not a disingenuous prick who was just going to find something else to cry crocodile tears over anyways understands that the German flag you’re burning does in fact represent the German state and political elite and not all German people.
If this person had been alive in 1940 they’d be making the same argument about the Nazi flag.
