I’ve seen them many times in New Hampshire. The heritage argument is bull shit, generally, but when you live in the North?

On my first trip on the USA in 2003, I saw on the drive from O’Hare into Wisconsin, and then saw a couple more in Wisconsin during the trip (local plates too). The argument about whether or not it’s a racist symbol seems ridiculous to me, on any slicing of the historical or the contemporary.

Then can you imagine my disgust when I see the boobs here in Saskatchewan and Alberta plaster their trucks with Confederate flags? For a portion of them, I want to grab them by the ears and say “You’re not supporting your favorite Country artist, dude.”

I’ve seen them driving around here in California. It’s just a thing that disaffected young white guys too lazy to go to college are trying out. I hope that they grow out of it because it’s fucking scary.

I just don’t get the point when you live in the Yankiest of yankee states, it just screams I hate black people up here, you can’t even make the faux pride argument.

The amazing thing is the racist scum think they are being subtle. “I’m no racist, it’s just heritage, culture!” Well, person who has never been south of the Mason-Dixon line, it is not your heritage or your culture, unless you are saying your culture is hating black people (you are). They really think other people are…

Even Washington state has them.

I live in TN and there are more rebel flags flown than U.S. flags on trucks or displayed on people’s homes. Lots of them are very open about their racism but the ones who try to defend it are pathetic. They say it’s about heritage and pride and I just say “you know the Confederacy lost, right? Must be very proud.”…

The confederacy is a cancer on our nation and it has metastasized. The prognosis is not good. 

My brain shuts down to protect itself everytime I see one of those flags, up here. Michigan sent something like 90,000 men to fight the rebels during the war (that was nearly a quarter of the entire male population of the state at the time) and almost 15,000 perished. The only statue on the capitol lawn is of our…

They are all over Michigan. I would doubt any one of these damned fools has even been to a southern state, they just love the racism.

Slightly off topic but I saw a truck with a confederate battle flag on it with Rhode Island plates in Rhode Island and I really don’t know what to think anymore.

Yeah this is rural, Dutchy Pennsylvania. Many/most locals look down on educated people because they think that they’re still living 50+ years ago and that men should be in the mines and women should be in the silk mill.

Putin knows how to play Trump like a fiddle. While Trump is largely unpredictable, the only thing that is predictable about him is that he likes to be adored. Putin gives him that adoration, while simultaneously doing everything to undermine NATO and the US. Trump doesn’t care about the country or NATO— he only…

You’re telling me!:(

Well clearly the solution is the person with 5 matches gives one to the person with three matches. Now they both have four matches. Problem solved.

So when is Twitter going to suspend Our Dear Leader’s account for the good of humanity? He’s already insulted China in an “unpresidented” way, caused stocks of major companies to rise and fall by billions of dollars, called out individual citizens who he thinks insulted him which led to his followers harassing them,…

The word ‘elite’ is like a slur to these people. Most fascist/totalitarian regimes begin with an attack on the academics.

To put a little background to this, the US doesn’t need to do anything in regards to nuclear capabilities except to maybe modernize it. You only need enough to take out your adversary’s cities and facilities. We have more than enough to currently achieve that objective. That is why MAD works.

Relevant. It’d be so haha funny, if it weren’t so accurate.
