 OP, saw a pickup truck with MA plates and a Confederate flag sticker on the way to Cape Cod for the Fourth and shook my head at someone's sense of racism overpowering their sense of good ol' Independence Day patriotism

You need to find a way to get your message out to dipshits in central Indiana with 4x4 trucks, but especially diesels. Seems as if diesels require a confederate flag either plastered on the back window or flying in the bed on the opposite side from the obnoxious, sooty stack. Can't wait to see if this causes new rules for trucks with actual flags in the bed at local high school parking lots and how many parents come to school ready for a fistfight with the principal if they are banned. I mean little Johnny just wants to drive his shiny, new 4x4 truck from the burbs to school flying the Confederate flag to show his "redneck pride".

I can't wait until Clarence Thomas votes that it's Constitutional to fly the Confederate flag and Scalia gets to write on defending the 1st Amendment. That's gonna be loving awesome.

Frackie Robinson posted:Not to belabor the point but this is the stars and bars, you ignorant Yankee swine actually that's the first confederate national flag; the second (the "Stainless Banner") was the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia on a white field; when they realized it looked too much like a flag of surrender (lol) the third national flag added a red bar to the fly. the flag used in the smiley and which has become the most popular version of the ANV's flag is the naval jack. way to be almost totally off base with the flag you've welded your loving ego to lmfao

who cares, flags are dumb in general some are cool in patterns and stuff, but people dying for symbols and stuff and what they represent is general retardation and a backwards step in human evolution they basically represent imaginary lines drawn on a map so there u go gently caress all flags in general meaning more than just pretty colors

Dear GBS, today I saw a colors arranged to resemble a bad flag. I whispered 'help help' and started trembling as hours upon hours of history lessons came flooding back to me. I had slept through most of them, but it had something to do with the bad flag, anyway. There is no way the person responsible for this should not be hanged until dead. No one would ever take up this flag just to provoke the fury of a sensitive soul like mine, would they?

Nice straw man E: I want to say, "Well, I'll just put on my totally-benign Hindu religious symbol and walk around a Jewish neighborhood, if they get mad at a swastika it's their own fault" but I see from your avatar text that you're dumb about that too.

Pththya-lyi posted:Nice straw man That it was, it is a straw man. Quite possibly! Someone doing something as stupid as that shouldn't be killed though, and getting this upset over a flag is pretty drat silly whichever side of the argument you fall on. Actually, I don't particularly care if it's never seen again in public (but gently caress you if you would purge it from museums and historical media) and I want the old Dukes of Hazard General Lee painted Navy Blue with flames going up the sides and renamed the General Sherman- but all of these people getting so loving excited over attacking a flag is the most pathetic thing I've seen since Gamergate started. Let the idiots fly their flag and help ensure no one forgets the idiocy of the past, it only ensures the South will NEVER rise again. Alternatively, you can wank yourselves off over how good a person you are to hate a bit of flappy fabric.

How does it make the world a better place? The Confederacy is dead. They WERE a deadly enemy, they WERE drat near a High Fantasy villain empire but there is no one left alive who served in it or fought against it. Now, it is only a history lesson best remembered so that it never need be repeated. Let the foolish be that reminder. Really, if you wanted to be spiteful to a slightly more productive degree- you'd keep them from discarding it even once it finally sinks in what precisely the flag represents.

They WERE a deadly enemy, they WERE drat near a High Fantasy villain empire but there is no one left alive who served in it or fought against it. let me turn it around on you then: what purpose does embracing the flag serve? if it's so culturally and historically inert, why is it such a huge wrench for it to be removed from public spaces and retired to museums and textbooks? I'm also tired of this argument that history becomes irrelevant because nobody is left alive who experienced it. most Americans are, at most, only a couple generations seperated from someone who fought in the war, died in the war, or were enslaved during the war. 150 years, historically speaking, is not an impossibly vast expanse of time - there are chairs in the United Kingdom older than this country. just because you yourself have chosen or just are alienated from your family's or community's history doesn't mean everyone else is.
