Democratic Sovereignty

 * Intolerance of "Institutional Negligence".
 * Fierce defense of its territory from standards, flags, that represent enemies past and present.

Institutional Negligence
We are seeing corporations and institutions execute actions that harm either individual citizens or communities. This has been demonstrated by Michigan in how the State handled Flint, law enforcement officers not held accountable for their actions by the institutions they represent and corporations that cause damage to communities and are not held accountable for their actions.

In these cases the metrics of accountability should be held to scale in order to ensure institutional diligence.

Defense of territory from standards of enemies past and present
There was a belief that the Confederate flag was a quaint historical standard of little significance than a cute "Dukes of Hazard" show. Recent events identify that these old enemy territorial standards still have meaning to some populations. This is not speech, a dialog of issues, flags are territorial markers when flown in a country they are laying claim to territory.
