The statement uses humor and sarcasm to comment on the proposed changes to the Massachusetts state flag, suggesting a design reminiscent of communist symbols. It appears to critique the change by implying it is unnecessary or ideologically driven.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm but uses sarcasm that could be seen as dismissive.

  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
