You may be on to something there.

Okay his comment about not yet thinking crossover is emblematic of one of my ongoing gripes with the MCU which I love for the most part. The tendency for some properties to ignore the rest of the universe. One of the charms of a comic book universe is that they are all happening in the same place. The Netflix shows at

No one advocates erasing the flag from existence. They just want it recognized for what it is. A Symbol for Slavery, treason, racism, hate, anti americanism, and failure.

The poor swastika. It spent centuries as a perfectly benign spiritual symbol and then a few assholes ruin it for everybody. Also tiny mustaches can never come back, no matter how well they fit your face.

Well an overt plutocracy holding half its population in life sentences of hard labor based on race is has got to be in the running.

The East Tennessee thing is soooo true. I live in TN and most of my family is in East TN. I confronted a drunk stupid uncle (you have one too I’m sure) with the fact that East TN was against secession and mostly abolitionist, and I am pretty sure he shit himself.

I think you are both right. Lots of the stupider confed fans, are just hugging a symbol to compensate for the perpetual shame associated with being southern. These same guys will mimimize slavery, or jom crow and deny racism mostly becuase of good old white fragility. They are pathetic and uninformed. Others overtly

I have to admit that the Civil War LARPers come in all stripes. There are those that are actually into the history and will reenact both sides, and do not sugar coat the facts, and those that are seriously confederate crazy

“No hate in a good biscuit” Is my new catch phrase

Um. Hmm Okay, I can see that. I guess when I saw wypipo, I automatically excluded myself. You know...because I’m one of the good ones.

Always crazy that. Its like women who say that all women should defer to men, and that feminism is bad. Or children of immigrants complaining about immigrants. It always boggles my mind when people embrace the symbols of their oppressors. Its like “respectability politics” os maybe Stockholm syndrome. Its Just

Meh,... maybe. Its just that its only the head line, not the article. So I am not sure how much “harm” it causes. I mean the article specifies the pro-confederate folks, so it doesn’t look like anyone assumed anything.

ooooo. That would be a great interview.

One could argue that Wypipo is a specific subset of White people.

“those people are either lying or they are stupid.”

There is. Dyscalcula. Check it out and get tested. It might change your life!

Uh. Okay. I get it. I never said that it wasn’t an out of date photo, merely that I did not see from the photo how it was automatically not a recent photo. I honestly did not and still do not think that the kid’s face in that photo was obviously too young for 15. I mean I have seen fifteen year olds that look 30 and

No you don’t. Although I think that there are a a few that are worth the trouble. Hearts in Atlantis and Salem’s Lot among them (others like the Stand, Eyes of the Dragon, and Talisman ass insight, but are not necessary.) . I will also say, that although this movie looks awesome, it clearly has a different take, so

WAsnt he talking about Coulson? He was the one that drove the van on the mission.

Still not getting why so many people think this photo could not be a 15yo. Im not saying either way, but why not?
