Top left isn't gone.

They surrendered.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 170 points 8 months ago

There's two confederate flags, then?

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 24 points 8 months ago
[-] strawberry@kbin.run 18 points 8 months ago

oh I thought that was the fr*nch flag

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 39 points 8 months ago

LOL we'd be the CSA now if the confederacy's record was anywhere near as good as the French. I've got a pile of laundry in the basement that's been there longer than the entire duration of the confederacy.

[-] strawberry@kbin.run 24 points 8 months ago

hasn't the mcrib been around longer than the confederacy?

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 24 points 8 months ago

Confederacy: 1861-1865

McRib: 1981-present.

😆

Unable to delete so editing instead. Leaving Lemmy.world due to privacy concerns.

I really have no idea why Americans bash the French so much for this - and I say this as an English man. We don't blame the Jews for the Holocaust, why blame the French for being over run by the Nazis?

[-] strawberry@kbin.run 2 points 8 months ago

ngl this is not some thought out thing I see French surrender meme I play along

[-] Tja@programming.dev 18 points 8 months ago

They're just French

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago
[-] snooggums@midwest.social 3 points 8 months ago

Neutrals have a gray flag.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Tell my wife I said hello

[-] psy32nd@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

"Surrendering in a warfare" is exactly "being beaten". So gone.

[-] TheLorax@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

The French were not "gone" from France when they surrendered. Beaten ≠ gone

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 79 points 8 months ago

The glue that binds them together.

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Oh, Canada?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 78 points 8 months ago

Upper left isn't gone. They're just French.

[-] Fapper_McFapper@lemmy.world 52 points 8 months ago

Why do the southern rebels get two flags?

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 29 points 8 months ago

Bottom right and upper left?

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 30 points 8 months ago

Technically speaking, the top left is a more accurate rebel flag than the bottom right.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago

Yeah, the hilarious part is that the "Stainless Banner" (which incorporated the familiar red background, blue X, white stars), was mostly a white flag. In fact, when the wind didn't blow you couldn't see the part near the flagstaff, so it mostly just looked like a white flag. They realized it looked too much like a flag of truce, and decided to add a red stripe to it... before surrendering less than 3 months later.

I have to say though, purely from an aesthetic point of view, the confederate battle flag is pretty cool looking.

They need a swastika, I mean a good loving neighbor.

[-] Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 8 months ago

Obviously, the apartment with the Confederate flag has a swastika inside.

[-] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 4 points 8 months ago

An Israel flag would fit nicely, too.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 points 8 months ago
[-] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 5 points 8 months ago

One of them stands for a country that invaded its neighbors with the goal of starting a genocide.
The other one stands for Israel.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 1 points 8 months ago

Ah, so you're saying that Israel is worse than Nazi Germany because Israel is actually accomplishing its goal?

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Glaring suspiciously at the guy in the top left

[-] EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

We neither feel strongly one way or the other.

[-] floral_toxicity@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Tell my wife I said... Hello.

[-] cooopsspace@infosec.pub 12 points 8 months ago

Confederate post, LGBT, China, Confederate pre.

[-] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 9 points 8 months ago
[-] cooopsspace@infosec.pub 2 points 8 months ago

Lololol, you're right my bad.

Don't drink and comment.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 11 points 8 months ago

What're there two Confederate flags?

[-] tiny@midwest.social 8 points 8 months ago

The empty window is actually an ancap that sells flags

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I think I know who's player 4.
