My guess is the ending goes one of three ways. The first is the straightforward ending where the flagsmasher’s positive motivations aren’t touched on and they get defeated. I think this is unlikely based on how that would be the most obvious, boring ass shit to ever grace the screen. Option two is they do a “both sides bad” thing where both the flagsmashers and USagent are shown to be the bad guys. This is definitely more possible. Option 3 is that Bucky and falcon become dissilusioned with the military: this has already been set up from episode one as falcon was unable to secure loans for his family. They will probably end up joining or at least becoming sympathetic to the flagsmashers and fight USagent and the military. While it seems unlikely they would commit to this fully as the us military is so deep in the pockets of these things, there’s probably going to be some lib moralizing and at least Bucky will join the flagsmashers or something. This post might be completely wrong but I figured I’d write it down so if I’m right in a few weeks I’ll be pretty stoked.

    They're definitely humanizing the Flagsmashers more than I expected. They'll probably figure out a way to lib it up and water the movement down into a non-violent solution or something.

        Oh, just occurred to me. Seeing as how they have super soldiers, I could see them being set up as naïve victims of the series' big bad. "Their hearts were in the right place, but they were going about things the wrong way by not working within the system."

    I really hope so, seeing as their first introduction was someone explaining how their goal is to have an open world with no borders and their big heinous act so far is delivering medicine to poor people I can't imagine they're being set up to be the big bad guys
