The current Zeitgeist is against confederate symbols and racism or discrimination.
There is more than one Zeitgeist, as usual. Another Zeitgeist is the one regarding terrorism and it's a major one. Terror is related to fear and an attempt to control.
Remember the Zeitgeist, years ago, characterized by love, flowers and protests against war?
It seems the old Zeitgeists, the ones that were positive need to be re-edited, updated and reproduced somehow.
Just saying, good and positive Zeitgeists are more POWERFUL, long lasting and equitable.
