That flag is not flying on a house. Mr. Stupidy doopy do da... Seriously. You desperately wanted to try to find some rich idiot flying the flag and couldn't so you post someplace that flies a Virginia Battle Flag on a flag pole (likely one of the states that used it as a state flag back in the day, from back in the day).
Reality is creeping into your brain slowly. You couldn't find a house with a Nazi flag that didn't look like it belonged to welfare recipients because folks who fly that flag are welfare recipients. So instead you had to find a battle flag and pretend it was the same thing, even though it clearly wasn't.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Again. The "Confederate flag" is a Virginia Battle flag. Back in the day Mississippi literally used it as their state flag though, then changed it to a smaller field on the flag more recently, and I believe are changing it once again (or have already, I'm not sure) to remove it altogether. My guess is he found an old picture of a neighborhood in that state flying their state flag, as states are wont to do, and just assumed that the "Confederate Flag" was the same thing as the Nazi Flag in the OP. While we now associate the battle flag with "the Confederate Flag" the Confederate states never used that flag for the Confederate States...
Anyway, the two things are conflated in his stupid post, and are not an example of any house flying a Nazi flag in a "rich neighborhood"...

Nobody said it was "okay" for that to happen, we just predict it to be more likely to happen to this idiot than others. Being stupid shouldn't be a death penalty, but in this case it just may make him believe he's really "unlucky" or he may actually understand why people might dislike him and like I said is willing to put his family in danger to make his point....
