it was for state’s rights!
It was for state’s rights to:
Be forced to allow slavery.
It was illegal in the Confederacy for them to ban it. So much for the right to choose for themselves.
…literally own people.
I hate this comeback. It’s so easily countered.
You ask what, I tell you
Ok. Tell me.
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.
Sir this is a meme board. Childish is all we do.
Fair point
I like best your edit talking about how reddit this was, not knowing it was the edit that was most reddit
Yeah? Not the endless holier than thou circle jerk? Feels like peak reddit to me.

Bro’s mad because his grandpappy is buried there 💀
Triggered by the loss of the loser confederates? At least they serve the common good by offering their Graves as public restrooms.
Once DJT croaks their graves are significantly going to dry up though.
Just keep antagonizing your countrymen. Then they’ll do something to ‘trigger’ you and you them and they you. That way we can all feel smugly superior to each other while the country burns.
Confederate Soliders who died in combat are quite literally not my Countrymen lolololol
A fuck the country place sucks designed by slave owners and run by fasco-corporatist scum.
B fuck this country
C those fucks who died aren’t my countrymen and anyone who supports them aren’t either, insurrectionists and traitors all of them. If you fly that flag leave my country. My country.
THOSE FIVE YEARS IN THE MID-1800S ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FIVE YEARS EVER! STOP STEPPING ON MY HERITAGE! MY GREAT-SOMEONE I NEVER MET FOUGHT IN THAT WAR!
Confederates, by definition, are not my countrymen.
I will always feel superior to a bunch of dead slavers. That’s because I am.
I think you’re missing the point.
Whether or not you’re superior is not relevant. Are you (as the conservatives are) willing to burn down the country to spite the “other side”?
If my disdain for traitors means I’m burning this mf down let me grab my marshmallows.
Still missing the point. The fact that the left is gleefully giving up the moral high ground and lowering itself to the republicans level goes to show this country is beyond saving. Looks like Murdoch won.
Left and right should be pissing on these graves. Idk why you’re gatekeeping the piss.
Why? Will that somehow make it not entertaining to laugh at Confederates who broke away from the union so they could keep people as property?
Kek. Tell me you have a Confederate flag on your wall without telling me.
We don’t appreciate separatists in these parts
Clearly. Something we inherited from Reddit I guess.

You know what’s real childish? Being traitors to your own country
Some treason is pretty based.
This treason? Nah. Fuck these gullible clowns.
Yeah, like trying to assassinate Hitler that is the based kind of treason.
Well, you were wrong LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Should have driven them into the sea
Bingo.
Childish and cringe is exactly what this is and does nothing for anyone.
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.
Double standards are lost on some folks.
tbf, fuck confederates but…they are still dead people.
treat everyone with the same respect you want to be treated with
Laugh at my grave. See how much I give a shit lololol
No. I have no respect for the traitors who fought for the right to enslave human beings. Fuck all Confederates and fuck anyone demanding we respect the legacy of those fucking slavers and sing Kumbaya with their modern day bigoted counterparts.
They didn’t treat black people with respect so
Slavers aren’t people.
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.
Why do dead people suddenly command respect upon death? If you‘re a seditious bigot in life, you remain a seditious bigot in death and reap all that you‘ve sown.
If I fought and killed over the right to own and abuse another human being, I would hope people would show up to piss on my grave. This is more respect than they deserve.
And don’t try to say they were a product of their time, either, because so was Cassius Clay and that man landed on the right side of history after being born to the richest slave owner in America. If he could buck that trend then so could all these other assholes.
Respect… dead people? They’re dead…
I’d want people to hate me if I fought to preserve slavery
When you view your life as inherently more than another, it ironically puts you below the bar a bit.
Got it. Treat Pol Pot with respect. Noted.
Let’s get offended by everything
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
There also still Americans, which is what makes civil wars more complicated.
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.
Hey, that’s how you start wildfires, piss on them to save the trees out just rock wall them to make a safe fire pit.
Let them burn themselves out, then piss on them.
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?
That’s what makes it difficult after murder… Or something
Wrong. We should have eradicated them when we had the best chance. Imagine a world where we got rid of all those people. 🥰
In fact their whole schtick was that they WEREN’T American.
