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

    …they weren’t pro slavery though

    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.

        Well once person out of about 100 that understands this is not about defending slavery. Jesus Christ I thought the level on Lemmy was supposed to be a bit better than Reddit but it’s the same ridiculous circle jerk.

        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.

        When you view your life as inherently more than another, it ironically puts you below the bar a bit.

        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.

        Respect is earned not given out to people who want a human slave

          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.

            The union said they weren’t allowed to leave and won, so technically they didn’t leave. That’s what makes civil wars difficult, you have to find a way to live with the losing side after.

              The law says you’re not allowed to murder. So if you kill someone and are arrested for murder, did you technically not murder anyone?

              Wrong. We should have eradicated them when we had the best chance. Imagine a world where we got rid of all those people. 🥰
