I only just heard about this "controversy" (I'm not even American) and decided to buy a confederate flag shirt for fun. I'm unable to find them on Amazon now - all searches come back with US flags.

When I search online and find links to Amazon with such items, clicking through shows an error message/item removed.

Am I just bad at searching or is this actually a thing? Hilarious.

Edit: Holy shit, it's actually a thing; eBay too. When did Americans become so pro-censorship? I wish Amazon wasn't so critical to buying everything otherwise I'd cancel prime and drop them for being so moronic.

Just get a Nazi Swastika shirt, those are fine.

I looked but I can only find peace swastikas. The only Nazi swastika I found is this one [1] which calls itself an "Anti Nazi" patch.
