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.

I hate this comeback. It's so easily countered.

You ask what, I tell you

Quite rough. Our civil war losers are treated much better.

...they weren't pro slavery though

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.

Confederate Soliders who died in combat are quite literally not my Countrymen lolololol

55

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.

22

Confederates, by definition, are not my countrymen.

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!

I will always feel superior to a bunch of dead slavers. That's because I am.

If my disdain for traitors means I'm burning this mf down let me grab my marshmallows.

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?

You know what's real childish? Being traitors to your own country

Yeah, like trying to assassinate Hitler that is the based kind of treason.

tbf, fuck confederates but....they are still dead people.

treat everyone with the same respect you want to be treated with

-59

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.

40

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.

19

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.

17

When you view your life as inherently more than another, it ironically puts you below the bar a bit.

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.

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.

23

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.

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?
