Me: "Hey, maybe we should recognize that history isn't just a bumper sticker slogan."
Socialist from Georgia: "Racist! Erhmagad! RACIST!"
What a compelling argument.
The far-left is so predictable.
The same can be said about you reactionaries, who rush to wrap yourselves in a flag that you know damn good and well has no purpose existing in this country outside of a museum. "Heritage not hate", "it's about history" - bullsh**t.
People who love history and want to publicly display it for sentimental reasons have literally centuries of history from which to sample, but why is that so many Southerners and conservatives want to latch onto a relatively insignificant 4-year life-span of a defunct country that didn't win, didn't fight for a noble cause and didn't contribute an iota of positive significance to America as we know it? Hell, its brief existence is still creating negative effects for the country as a whole. It's not about history for you: it's about
nostalgia and a longing for a by-gone era that embodied the warped values that still live in your hearts.
Why not embrace the Revolutionary War? The War of 1812? The Mexican-American War? World War I? World War II? Among the civilian masses in the South, the only war and the only flag that have a cult following is the one from the war that was the most noble in nature - but for the side that was empirically disgusting.
