To me it is a flag of losers. The effort to secede was lost, the flag led in more battles lost than won, its army lost a war, and in subsequent history crackpots, misfits, and other losers seem to identify with it as part of their misguided activities and wrongful acts. In my opinion the flag is only a part of history and as such belongs in museums, historical reenactments, in history books, and maybe on the graves and markers of the poor souls who fought for a losing cause.
