Let's reframe it:

if
  "a user flag allows for anything the user wants to define"
then
  a user flag could carry a politicized message

if
  a user flag could carry a politicized message
then
  put whatever you want in the user flag
else
  what does "a user flag allows for anything the user wants to define" actually
mean?
