Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.
RULES
-
No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

...sounds like some childish, revisionist bullshit.
I'm listening, but I need some sources on that.
Anyway, I've always said, if you want to fly your heritage accurately, why not the stars and bars?
And yes, it's now a racist symbol. A few decades back, no one gave a shit. I can't say it's exactly been "hijacked", but kinda? In any case, as of 2024, if you're sporting that shit, you want me to know where you stand. And I know exactly where you stand.
EDIT: One other thing I think sucks about the battle flag, we lost it in Pensacola. We were known as the City of Five Flags owing to who ruled us in the past. Spanish, French, British, Confederates and the United States. Had to ditch the Confederate flag because the racists own it now. Sucks.
