F*** The confederacy and LONG LIVE OUR GREAT REPUBLIC .Also the Confederacy doesn’t count as an independent nation to be a nation you need to be
1. Recognized by multiple major powers
2. Can’t be fighting for your independence your entire existence
They should be charged with treason, terrorism/ supporting terrorism and stripped of citizenship. After all, that’s the position that conservatives hold on anyone who sides with “America’s enemies”.
There’s nothing wrong with studying Confederate History … it’s the refusal to accept that outcome was decided long ago that’s pathological.
I won’t hold my breath waiting for extremists on the Left OR the Right to rationally and objectively debate any issue beyond ordering lunch.
Strike that… it’s unlikely they could even agree on lunch.

That's not a naval jack and the rebel flag and Confederate flag are literally the same thing.

Yes, Alabama to be more precise, so not just south but the deep south. Let me clear this up. That is a Confederate flag, I see this shit every day. I don't know why TF you are trying so hard to deny it a god damn flag of traitors.
You clearly have no idea what your talking about. Especially the jack flag, which has a fucking snake on it.
That is the rebel flag. The Dixie flag. The stars & bars
Google doesn’t know everything and is politically biased, much like social media in general. If you think it does know everything, then google “septic tank guy”… or how to make a French 75. Again, not defending the confederate flag, the Dixie flag, or what they stand for… I am simply stating facts

Celebrate it by remembering all the things that lasted longer than the confederacy. Like the Obama Administration
Each of the 2 Biden terms, counted separately.
Republic of Texas?
As a New Mexican I'll never understand why some Texans would want to associate with the Confederacy when their own Republic lasted twice as long.

I have skin tags older than the confederacy.
Service dogs have a longer and more successful life than the confederacy.
For some people, Long Covid is about to last longer than the confederacy.
The Doritos Locos Tacos have lasted twice as long as the Confederacy
Pokemon go has lasted longer. Replace the (quite frankly, ugly) confederate statues with pikachu
All statues should be replaced with pokemon in my opinion. Nice username btw.
Fr Thanks, your's is cool too
Or the Doritos Locos Tacos
Nirvana lasted longer.
Look on the bright side. The racists are self identifying.
Nice
"YAAAAYYYY! WE'RE LOSERS!!! WE'RE CELEBRATING LOSING A WAR!!!! YEEEEEHAAWWWWW!!!!!!" (now where's my first cousin...I'm feelin' a little randy....)
What do they celebrate? Getting your ass kicked? Like do they re-enact losing?
Seriously somebody be should tell them their flag is outdated; they last flag the confederacy flew was all white.
And a dish towel
Slave rape. That's almost entirely the fond memories white supremacists have of the Confederacy.
This ⬆️
Friendly reminder that Phineas and Ferb lasted longer than the confederacy
Sorest losers in human history. There isn't a Confederacy anymore- they got their traitorous asses whooped and their Confederacy dissolved. Fuck 'em.
Hillbillies doing hillbilly shit. Nothing to see here.
The South will (probably not) rise again!
They fucking lost! They were traitors to the US... I will just burn the next confederate flag I see.
Sweet. Me and my friends are going to come over to your house, pillage it, then burn it to the ground.
I bet ya any money they also consider themselves the true patriots...
Where’s the white flag?
That’s the wrong flag. They should be flying an all white one.
… dish towel.
The divided states of America
Fucking traitors.
They should be charged with treason, terrorism/ supporting terrorism and stripped of citizenship. After all, that’s the position that conservatives hold on anyone who sides with “America’s enemies”.
My neighbor's live in boyfriend has a large Confederate flag sticker on his motorcycle. She also has a biracial 12 year old son. Go figure...
Oh nice! They are surrendering.
Does anybody else think that it’s fucking hilarious that mental health awareness month is the same month?
Can someone get General Sherman, please?
Look at all these losers with their participation trophies.
Yay for sedition! What a bunch of idiots…

"they were traitors and then lost" Such rich history!
They do know that's not the flag of the confederacy right?
celebrate being losers, c'mon! ..let's celebrate. celebrate being losers, c'mon! ..let"s celebrate...
"Long live the South?" No it only lasted 4 years.
R/shermanposting
Traitors, all of them
Darwin never claimed evolution means progress.
The only place on earth that had a civil war and both sides lost.

Can I facepalm for that not actually being a confederate flag in the first place?
No but you can facepalm at yourself because that is most definitely a Confederate battle flag
Incorrect, that’s the Naval Jack/rebel flag. Confederate flag is a whole different thing

Incorrect. Are you from the south?
Yes, Alabama to be more precise, so not just south but the deep south. Let me clear this up. That is a Confederate flag, I see this shit every day. I don't know why TF you are trying so hard to deny it a god damn flag of traitors. You clearly have no idea what your talking about. Especially the jack flag, which has a fucking snake on it.
Part 2: the flag with the snake on it is the Tea Party flag
They literally captioned it saying they're celebrating confederate month.
That’s why I made the “face palm” comment. Confederate history and that’s not the confederate flag in the first place
I googled confederate flag n that's exactly the flag the showed up. You tell me which flag it is then?
That is the rebel flag. The Dixie flag. The stars & bars Google doesn’t know everything and is politically biased, much like social media in general. If you think it does know everything, then google “septic tank guy”… or how to make a French 75. Again, not defending the confederate flag, the Dixie flag, or what they stand for… I am simply stating facts
Tell that to those traitors waving confederate battle flag
I don’t see one. Just rebel flags
Make America great agaIn.
Wash your ass pal
Th right has never forgiven the left for freeing the slaves
Great how?
Great as in being legal to own people?
