it was for state’s rights!

It was for state’s rights to:

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 44 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Be forced to allow slavery.

It was illegal in the Confederacy for them to ban it. So much for the right to choose for themselves.

[-] SuiXi3D@kbin.social 34 points 11 months ago

…literally own people.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

I hate this comeback. It's so easily countered.

You ask what, I tell you

I thought this kind of childish nonsense was done mostly by conservatives. So stupid.

edit: for the many of you that didn't understand, this is not a comment defending the confederacy. Jesus Christ. The point is we all thought "let's go Brandon" made the republicans look childish and pathetic. Well congratulations, you managed to match them.

[-] Kit 134 points 11 months ago

Sir this is a meme board. Childish is all we do.

Bro's mad because his grandpappy is buried there 💀

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 56 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Triggered by the loss of the loser confederates? At least they serve the common good by offering their Graves as public restrooms.

[-] Techmaster@lemm.ee 16 points 11 months ago

Once DJT croaks their graves are significantly going to dry up though.

[-] FMT99@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Just keep antagonizing your countrymen. Then they'll do something to 'trigger' you and you them and they you. That way we can all feel smugly superior to each other while the country burns.

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 59 points 11 months ago

Confederate Soliders who died in combat are quite literally not my Countrymen lolololol

[-] deft@ttrpg.network 25 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

A fuck the country place sucks designed by slave owners and run by fasco-corporatist scum.

B fuck this country

C those fucks who died aren't my countrymen and anyone who supports them aren't either, insurrectionists and traitors all of them. If you fly that flag leave my country. My country.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

THOSE FIVE YEARS IN THE MID-1800S ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FIVE YEARS EVER! STOP STEPPING ON MY HERITAGE! MY GREAT-SOMEONE I NEVER MET FOUGHT IN THAT WAR!

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 18 points 11 months ago

I will always feel superior to a bunch of dead slavers. That's because I am.

Kek. Tell me you have a Confederate flag on your wall without telling me.

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 45 points 11 months ago

You know what's real childish? Being traitors to your own country

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 20 points 11 months ago

Some treason is pretty based.

This treason? Nah. Fuck these gullible clowns.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah, like trying to assassinate Hitler that is the based kind of treason.

[-] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 36 points 11 months ago

Well, you were wrong LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[-] tilcica@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago

tbf, fuck confederates but....they are still dead people.

treat everyone with the same respect you want to be treated with

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 48 points 11 months ago

Laugh at my grave. See how much I give a shit lololol

[-] ZeroCool@feddit.ch 42 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

No. I have no respect for the traitors who fought for the right to enslave human beings. Fuck all Confederates and fuck anyone demanding we respect the legacy of those fucking slavers and sing Kumbaya with their modern day bigoted counterparts.

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 35 points 11 months ago

They didn't treat black people with respect so

[-] creamed_eels@toast.ooo 21 points 11 months ago

Why do dead people suddenly command respect upon death? If you‘re a seditious bigot in life, you remain a seditious bigot in death and reap all that you‘ve sown.

[-] darth_tiktaalik@lemmy.ml 21 points 11 months ago

They literally had official government statements that black people were inferior by divine law. The image from op is one hundred times more respectful of others than the Confederates were.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Slavers aren't people.

[-] skulblaka@kbin.social 20 points 11 months ago

If I fought and killed over the right to own and abuse another human being, I would hope people would show up to piss on my grave. This is more respect than they deserve.

And don't try to say they were a product of their time, either, because so was Cassius Clay and that man landed on the right side of history after being born to the richest slave owner in America. If he could buck that trend then so could all these other assholes.

[-] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 11 months ago

Respect... dead people? They're dead...

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Got it. Treat Pol Pot with respect. Noted.

[-] youstolemyname@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

I'd want people to hate me if I fought to preserve slavery

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

There also still Americans, which is what makes civil wars more complicated.

[-] Bighappee@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

No, they quite literally left the Union, which makes them not Americans. They viewed black people as property and were willing to go to war to maintain that status quo. Personally, I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Hey, that's how you start wildfires, piss on them to save the trees out just rock wall them to make a safe fire pit.

In fact their whole schtick was that they WEREN'T American.

[-] stewie3128@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

Nope. Pee on Confederate graves... The few that they've managed to bury properly. They died doing a shitty thing for a shitty reason, and we've had to deal with the aftermath since the election of 1876 was brokered to end Reconstruction.

They fucked everything up. So, yeah, no respect. Pee on them.

Quite rough. Our civil war losers are treated much better.

...they weren't pro slavery though
