For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I've heard that before but always just assumed it referred to the normal american flag like stars and stripes, well now I know not to inadvertently endorse a racist flag.

Everybody in here is actually using stars and bars erroneously, as it isn't the battle flag with the X on it like the one that flew in South Carolina, it's the actual official flag of the Confederacy that looks kind of like the Betsy Ross American flag, except it just has three stripe (bars).

My high school had the confederate flag as it's "mascot", and the KKK would openly recruit in the local bar, and parade on main street.

This was in Canada in the mid 90s.

I lived in the USA for about 12 years, and managed to travel a bunch in the south. I have never been anywhere more backwards and racist as my horrible home town.

Everyone truly believed they weren't racist, because racism is an american problem. But while growing up, I saw a loving cross burned, I'm not even kidding.

Eventually a new principal got rid of the flag, which caused a lot of controversy in the town. After all, how can it be racist when there aren't even any black people in our town?

They kept the name, though.

Go Rebels. Wooo

I came across mention of a Gnostic codex called The Unreal God and the Aspects of His Nonexistent Universe, an idea which reduced me to helpless laughter. What kind of person would write about something that he knows doesn't exist, and how can something that doesn't exist have aspects?
I can't believe you have to purchase the rebel flag with your own flesh and bone, at least I think that's a requirement, why else would the supporters be missing so many teeth?

yeah the most racist people i know are from vermont and they say the same "i'm not racist because i'm from vermont" thing. while literally screaming at the black children playing on the street. and being mad that black people live in the neighborhood.

What is with all the loving morons who were born and raised in a Union state flying loving Confederate flags and pretending it has something to do with their "heritage"?

Like if I see a guy from loving Massachusetts driving around with the Stars and Bars, I can only assume he is even more racist then any Southern could be, because that's pretty much the only reason a Northerner would fly one; as a massive gently caress you to black people without even the flimsy guise of historical pride or whatever.

I'm seeing this poo poo all over and it's loving baffling. Dudes whose ancestors loving fought and died for the Union flying the god drat flag that killed their great, great uncle or whatever.

No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!
There's a guy who was in graduate school with me, he's from South America somewhere and has only lived in the states for like ten years. Since he graduated he moved to south carolinny or somewhere and it's been a couple of years but now his profile picture on facebook is the flag and he reposts all the "HERITAGE NOT HATE" bullshit he sees between pictures of him holding up catfish.

He's crosseyed as gently caress though so lol.

Scandinavia seems to have some glitches

some really bizarre glitches. Did you ever even have slaves there since the Vikings? How do these people even find out about the Confederate flag, and what terrifyingly serpentine mental process do they engage in before buying one?

you have to understand their conception of the stars and bars is probably literally 'haha yeah it's that thing on that car in that TV show AMERICA is cool right guys check out my blue jeans'

maybe some of them know it's from the civil war but I bet you on average they probably just associate it with america and being rebellious

Every country in the world is more racist than America and if it seems like they're not, it's only because they've successfully driven all the "undesirable" races out of their country. HTH.

The vikings sometimes took entire villages as slaves (trälar) when they were raiding.
Raggare is a subculture in swedish society that has nothing to do with vikings. They take their influences from 50's and 60's american culture. Particulary "rockabilly" and "greaser" culture. They rebel against society by driving around irressponsibly in vintage cars and shouting demeaning things at women while listening to terrible music. And pretty much every raggare I've ever met was pretty rascist.

Ronny & Ragge is a parody of raggare. And awesome to boot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkCnAKI2aSU

Terrible music popular among raggare

e: Oh sorry I saw that you said "since the vikings" a little too late. But we had slaves after that too. They were called "livegna" and were pretty much slaves, similar systems of ownership of humans were practiced all over feudal europe.
