So? Name a war where the people dying aren't victims of propaganda and conscription? My grandfather was conscripted by the German Army in WWII, but I can still make fun of Nazis and celebrate the failure of the Axis. The majority of people that participated in the Jan 6 insurrection were also victims of propaganda, that doesn't mean I'm sad they failed and it doesn't make it socially unacceptable to celebrate that failure. Southern Pride is Slavery Pride, that's just the way it is.
