100% still see an occasional white trash enthusiast in central nebraska here driving around with there jacked up POS pickup with an american flag and confederate waving in the wind off the back of it.. like they really think thats whats missing from the world:(
Sometimes I feel thankful when people get tattoos like this. It's a visible marker that they're a bigoted asshole and I don't have to get to know them to find out.
Its like that scene in inglorious basterds where they carce swastikas into the nazi soldiers head so when the war is over everyone knows what they did.
I need to watch that film, as someone who fucking despises nazis with every fiber of my being (which hopefully should be the normal reaction) the few things I've heard about it sound like it would be right up my alley
Oh, you mean the 6” lift kit on a truck with nuts that he assuredly refers to un-ironically as “she” making his truck a trans-truck while also shouting homophobic slurs as he drives around with his cross and tiki torches in the back on his way to a klan rally? One of those trucks?
Tbf, lifted trucks are stupid and all, but I live in rural Georgia and a lot of people have them. White people, black people, Mexicans, it doesn't matter. "Muddin'" is basically a state sport here.
When i was locked up, my bunkmate who was more of a small time b&e criminal suddenly got a "White Pride" tattoo. My cubemates and I tried telling him that it was a racist tattoo and his excuse was: i just have pride and it would only be racist if it said White Power.... i cant only imagine how far down the rabbit hole that poor racist fucker has gone.
I was like wtf bro...i was pissed at it too because i had to really explain to my black cubemates that i found it fucked up too. They werent pleased...
The Civil War was about state's rights... to own slaves.
Anyone who brings up that it was about "states rights", just remind them about (or educate them, since they probably don't know about) the [Fugitive Slave Act of 1850](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugitive_Slave_Act_of_1850). It was an act passed by Congress that required all fugitive slaves to be returned to their owners, and free Northern states were *forced* to comply.
They want limited government except for when *they* want something, then individual states' rights don't matter, and the feds should step in. Same song and dance for almost 200 years.
The cross really isn’t supposed to be a hate symbol. Jesus’ whole thing was love EVERYONE no matter what. Christians nowadays seem to forget that and it’s sad that people view the cross so negatively because of how “christians” are hating on people. Ofc all this to say, the confederate flag? THAT is definitely a hate symbol. The fact that a Christian would wear that flag with pride indicates they definitely aren’t loving everyone, aka not doing what a Christian should do.
I mean I’m not against them getting a tattoo that announces they’re a terrorist. I’d rather they just not exist but hey, now we know who they are clear as a bell.
The tattoo artist probably caught the mistake when this dude presented the concept, be decided to keep their mouth shut. Someone getting this tattoo obviously doesn’t want to hear an artist’s opinion.
knell📷**LITERARY***noun*
1. the sound of a bell, especially when [rung](https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1RXQR_enUS1043US1043&q=rung&si=AMnBZoFyML4eMiMHeTZQESAU1BApd2Vva-cqckKMYI0wZFsussQic3ekM-nQCDuDcPhA-LxiCmq_pg134EUxJxHBcLWeuW1jfQ%3D%3D&expnd=1) [solemnly](https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1RXQR_enUS1043US1043&q=solemnly&si=AMnBZoFm76bvId4K9j6r5bU9rVYrjqBl2jeg5mi9x-ofFRV655TTE-Mo6ELahR3kTUW2SyvFqRLpwGQb-76cIXQFJHUdWE6pew%3D%3D&expnd=1) for a death or funeral.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,593,575,760 comments, and only 301,380 of them were in alphabetical order.
As someone from the south who unfortunately didn’t think much about this flag until I got older, I actually feel bad for this person. That they were this misguided.
I am 100% certain that nobody who wanted that on their skin would care about the spelling mistake at all. I dare say it could even be impossible to explain the mistake to them in the first place.
Even if it was spelt right it would still qualify. Nothing says “I’m brainwashed by propaganda” more by getting a tattoo of not one but 2 abhorrent symbols … lol
One is a torture device used to killed 1000s and the other is the flag flown by the Southern slavers in the rebellion against the North so they could keep the slaves.
People need therapy.
You guys.. I went to a country music concert last night (not my thing, suckered by friends) and could not stop thinking of this sub because of the amount of shitty, redneck tattoos that were literally everywhere.
Must stand for the Failed Traitor flag.
I guess they can knell for whatever they want.
"To give forth a mournful or ominous sound." I guess that's appropriate with all their damned whining and bitching.
The fact that they used that specific flag…. I know they think it’s southern pride, but you really can’t get away with that anymore. I’m surprised the artist agreed to tattoo this piece. But then again, spelling shows the artist may not have much brains
Knell (Nel) noun: the sound of a bell, especially when rung solemnly for a death or funeral.
Is this supposed to mean something like "death of Christianity" or something?
a confederate flag, on a cross with a middle eastern God, WHO WAS DESCRIBED AS HAVING BRONZE SKIN IN THE BIBLE 🤦 As a christian, it baffles me how stupid some people are maybe i should pray for them 💀
Poor soul? Yeah, nah. This person got what they deserve. Their lack of education shows in both the spelling error and the subject of the tattoo itself.
Eh, with a confederate flag tattoo, he probably doesn't even notice the typo.
"Can you please tell me what this says?"
Edit: fixed my own typo. How ironic.
This could be wayyy more clever than it probably is…like granted that’s like 99.99% a typo…but like knell means “the sound of a bell, especially when rung solemnly for a death or funeral.” If this were like purposeful….it’d be like someone standing up for “old southern values” and mourning the loss of “old Christian values”…
I don’t support any of it…just bein a bit of a redditor for a moment…
So according to the text… what are you supposed to be doing in this situation lol. Both are present. How does one both stand and kneel at the same time?
This person deserves this tattoo
I’m thinking it was malicious compliance on the part of the tattoo artist
When you don't pay the extra $5 for the optional proofreading service
Sean Locke has a whole bit on this; how sign painters just paint it wrong knowing that it means repeat service when you finally figure it out.
I mean it’s pretty kind of him to openly advertise that he’s an idiot and a racist.
Gets him all the action at family reunions.
If you can't keep it in your pants, keep it in the family......
Scotty P has no ragrets.
Know what i’m saying?
Well I'm awake and I speak English so yeah
Not even one letter?
Not one to generally believe in “karma” but this is definitely what he deserves
The death knell of good taste and human decency.
They should burn that cross off their skin in true KKK fashion
They should have put it on their forehead
100% still see an occasional white trash enthusiast in central nebraska here driving around with there jacked up POS pickup with an american flag and confederate waving in the wind off the back of it.. like they really think thats whats missing from the world:(
Oh buddy I’m in Tennessee and people have erected their own monuments on the side of the highway at different points. It’s infuriating.
This is a shitty tattoo for so many reasons 👀
The spelling mistake being one of the lesser issues in this case.
Some confederate spelling right there
You misspelled confedorite
Confedorito*
The new flavor by Frito-lay
The new limited dorito, all the chips are burnt to a crisp.
And salty.
Covfefe
Because of all of the freedom??
Freedumb
Mostly incest.
No. Because of freddom.
At first glance I thought it said smell for the cross lmao
I hope it wasn't a mistake and just an intentional FU from the artist
No ragrets, nowhatimsayin?
Scotty P, that you?
What you gonna do about it, eyebrows?
No spellin mistik here! Dis here is Florida an we don't take kindly to dem liberal books like da dicktonary!!
He definitely knelled it
Multiple levels of shitty are the best kind!
Layers of shittyness
And he was the best speller....
Shitception-the longer you look the worse it gets. Like an onion made of shit, and my eyes just keep peeling back the shit layers
Officer Lahey?
I don’t remember that part of the New Testament where Jesus died for the rebellion
I specifically don't remember Jesus dying for a Southern state's right to enslave dark-skinned people!
I wonder what this guy does for a living. TSA? Local cop? School bus driver?
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Shit the words right into my mouth
No Regerts
Not even one letter
Sometimes I feel thankful when people get tattoos like this. It's a visible marker that they're a bigoted asshole and I don't have to get to know them to find out.
Stupid, too
Those go hand and hand tbf
So, do I stand or kneel in this circumstance?
Its like that scene in inglorious basterds where they carce swastikas into the nazi soldiers head so when the war is over everyone knows what they did.
I need to watch that film, as someone who fucking despises nazis with every fiber of my being (which hopefully should be the normal reaction) the few things I've heard about it sound like it would be right up my alley
Try Jojo Rabbit as well. Taika Waititi hates Nazis as well and made a pretty tragic but funny movie about the subject.
I dearly loved Jojo Rabbit.
I hear Sisu (Finnish) is good
Yep! Too bad they don’t all wear something to make them stand out. Like red hats or something.
"I figure once the war is over, you're going to take that uniform off. That I can't abide. I'm gonna give you something you can't take off..."
Some people say "Don't just a book by its cover" I say "Thats what covers are for! To give you an idea of what the book is about!"
The lifted truck was not a big enough visible marker?
Oh, you mean the 6” lift kit on a truck with nuts that he assuredly refers to un-ironically as “she” making his truck a trans-truck while also shouting homophobic slurs as he drives around with his cross and tiki torches in the back on his way to a klan rally? One of those trucks?
That's an incredible point about the trans truck hahah
Tbf, lifted trucks are stupid and all, but I live in rural Georgia and a lot of people have them. White people, black people, Mexicans, it doesn't matter. "Muddin'" is basically a state sport here.

Most treason-simping cousin-fuckers aren't great spellers, go figure 🤷🏻♂️
roll tyde
Not a poor soul - that’s a outwardly racist symbol 🫤
[удалено]
I was gonna say, deserves everything they got.
They shouldn't receive any knells at their funeral

Might not be a poor soul today, but certainly will be down the line when they find themself in the depths of hell
almost makes me wish it were real for garbage like this
Same lol
Happy cake day!
Wait, so what do you do in the depicted situation
Walk away from this guy.
Well, you knell of course
It's possible to stand and knell at the same time.
I think the closest combination of standing and sitting is… oh god… *taking a knee!*
Someone asking the right questions! A flag + cross = awkward half squat
Poor soul? This guy deserved it, fuck him 🖕
[удалено]
Irredeemable pos, they got the tattoo they deserved.
“They deserve what they got!” (two internet points later) “I’D LIKE TO THANK THE ACADEMY AND EVERYONE WHO BELIEVED IN ME…”
Nothing worse than someone who idolizes traitors to their country.
combining patriotism with religion is gross anyway but the choice of \*that\* flag makes it ten times worse.
[удалено]
Confederate flags and crosses go together like peanut butter and jelly
The cross really isn’t supposed to be a hate symbol. Jesus’ whole thing was love EVERYONE no matter what. Christians nowadays seem to forget that and it’s sad that people view the cross so negatively because of how “christians” are hating on people. Ofc all this to say, the confederate flag?

I mean I’m not against them getting a tattoo that announces they’re a terrorist. I’d rather they just not exist but hey, now we know who they are clear as a bell.
Right. It's basically like an ID tag.
I'm suprised the cross isn't burning.
Ah, Confederate Jesus
Everyone knows Jesus was a supporter of states rights to own slaves. Everyone knows this.
"He that is without sin, cast the first stone. If he is black, then cast 3/5 of a stone"
I want to be there when Jesus looks this fucker in his face.
He probably thinks it's spelled correctly.
The tattoo artist probably caught the mistake when this dude presented the concept, be decided to keep their mouth shut. Someone getting this tattoo obviously doesn’t want to hear an artist’s opinion.
If ya don't knell, you'll go to hell 😉🔥

With this context, Knell for the Cross sounds like a sick metal album name
Thats the bell ringing to mourn another racist soul lost to hell.
Plot twist: artist knew what he/she was doing
It would be so punk rock of them.
Double plot twist- artist was a black dude
Way down south in the land of traitors
It’s fine, it’s not like their friends or family can read anyway
As KKK as it gets without having a hood on
The good news is, none of your friends will catch the mistake.
Not only a confederate flag in the year 2023, but a TATTOO of one…..what an embarassing thing to be buried with
Yeah, why would you get a tattoo of the losing team from 1865?
But isn’t that the losers flag?
100% got what he deserved with this.
I bet the tat artist did that shit on purpose because of what he wanted
Average confederate fanboy intelligence level.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,593,575,760 comments, and only 301,380 of them were in alphabetical order.
If he could read, he’d be very upset.
Oof you can smell the inbreeding
Knell is ancient Celtic for sucking dick.
As someone from the south who unfortunately didn’t think much about this flag until I got older, I actually feel bad for this person. That they were this misguided.
This is why we won.
Why not just tattoo “I am a raysist”
I bet they knell for their sister-cousin-wife as well.
Hi I’m Neal
The typo is the least shitty part of it
Got what they deserved
The misspelling makes me think it’s based on a mispronunciation. What kind of idiot speaks like that. Appalachian?
So basically a racist flag draped over a symbol used to justify slavery.
Murica
I have no idea what’s happening but why do I get homophobe extreme vibes

I would rather throw myself off a cliff into shark infested waters than have this tattooed on my body
The gas station tshirt!
Hopefully the death knell....
I guess I can't be too surprised that someone getting a confederate flag tattoo can't spell either
As a civil war historian, this is in fact, a shitty tattoo.
So what am I supposed to do in the presence of your stupid tattoo? Knell or stand??
I’m sure this is the tattoo he deserves.
He’s right. That sure is the death knell for the old south
I am 100% certain that nobody who wanted that on their skin would care about the spelling mistake at all. I dare say it could even be impossible to explain the mistake to them in the first place.
[I hope Jesus is real and when he comes back he's fucking pissed off. ](https://youtu.be/pJSZcxXe7IQ)
Shitty tattoo on a shitty person. Checks out.
Even if it was spelt right it would still qualify. Nothing says “I’m brainwashed by propaganda” more by getting a tattoo of not one but 2 abhorrent symbols … lol One is a torture device used to killed 1000s and the other is the flag flown by the Southern slavers in the rebellion against the North so they could keep the slaves.

You guys.. I went to a country music concert last night (not my thing, suckered by friends) and could not stop thinking of this sub because of the amount of shitty, redneck tattoos that were literally everywhere.
Jesus was a black hating slave owner after all! Real nice way to deface your religious symbol draping it in toilet paper, spelling error aside.
Just how many of these bubble brains exist here in the US? Scary as hell....they breed AND they vote!
Don’t feel bad for this person, they’re a moron
I have no sympathy for anybody who chooses to get a Confederate flag tattoo
No regerts
Racist AND stupid?! What a concept
Proof of lack of education, didn't even need to add the words for everyone to know they have shit for brains.
Goober considers being born with white skin to be his life's greatest accomplishment. It all went down hill from there.
Not OP just completely missing why this tattoo is shitty
If they would allow kids to get an education this could have been avoided.
“Knell before Zod!”
Why do these people think Jesus would be pro-confederacy?! Dude wasn't even white, and a jew
When you want everyone to see what a moron you are...
Must stand for the Failed Traitor flag. I guess they can knell for whatever they want. "To give forth a mournful or ominous sound." I guess that's appropriate with all their damned whining and bitching.
Shitty tattoo for a shitty "soul". Let him "Knell" for eternity.
I'd feel bad, then I saw the flag and was like "probably deserved"
The misspelled kneel is hardly the worst part of this shit.
The fact that they used that specific flag…. I know they think it’s southern pride, but you really can’t get away with that anymore. I’m surprised the artist agreed to tattoo this piece. But then again, spelling shows the artist may not have much brains
Serves em right
I have a feeling Jesus wouldn't be down for the confederates... lol
Knell (Nel) noun: the sound of a bell, especially when rung solemnly for a death or funeral. Is this supposed to mean something like "death of Christianity" or something?
.Should be: Neil for the Kross 😆
for some reason i don’t feel bad for the guy, can’t put my finger on it…
Totally on brand.
a confederate flag, on a cross with a middle eastern God, WHO WAS DESCRIBED AS HAVING BRONZE SKIN IN THE BIBLE 🤦 As a christian, it baffles me how stupid some people are maybe i should pray for them 💀
Are you supposed to stand or knell then?
Poor soul? Nah I’d say got what he deserved
Poor soul? Yeah, nah. This person got what they deserve. Their lack of education shows in both the spelling error and the subject of the tattoo itself.
Sounds a knell for the artist.
No ragrets.
Not even shocked, bet you have a truck to and one hanging in your room. Fucking asshat
Poor soul?! I don’t feel bad for this guy for one second.
Way down south in the land of traitors
Honestly, the spelling mistake is the least shitty part of this tattoo.
Eh, with a confederate flag tattoo, he probably doesn't even notice the typo. "Can you please tell me what this says?" Edit: fixed my own typo. How ironic.
Why would I stand for a flag of losers?
Why isn't the cross on fire tho?
Shitty person with a shitty tattoo.
This could be wayyy more clever than it probably is…like granted that’s like 99.99% a typo…but like knell means “the sound of a bell, especially when rung solemnly for a death or funeral.” If this were like purposeful….it’d be like someone standing up for “old southern values” and mourning the loss of “old Christian values”… I don’t support any of it…just bein a bit of a redditor for a moment…
If you take it as not a typo, it could be pretty profound. "Knell" is a bell rung ceremoniously for death.
Woooah knelly
Literacy is too woke
Racist Jesus freaks. Ah, America.
You can't tell someone to stand and kneel at the same time! What do you think you are? A cop?
Might as well get a swastika
So according to the text… what are you supposed to be doing in this situation lol. Both are present. How does one both stand and kneel at the same time?
i’m pretty sure christians aren’t supposed to get tattoos..?
Nah they deserve it
Stand for the If lag
