I like Ryan Dawson but his stance on the confederacy makes no sense.
You can't rep a treasonous flag and call yourself a patriot SMH
@basedbagel Treasonous against who? Was it against a tyrannical federalist government body that wanted to put itself above the united states and centralize its power over them?
Razorfist would like a word with you.
@ButtWorldsMan You're missing my point.
My point is that people who support the confederacy consider themserlves patriots which makes no sense to me.
BOTH the north and the south wanted power/resources.
I have no romance with the north but trying to make it seem like the confederacy were some peace-loving planters protecting states rights is asinine.
Both sides were amoral and power hungry.
Also both sides have their own bullshit propaganda.
North: We fought a righteous war to free the slaves and preserve the union.
Reality: They wanted power/resources from the south
South: We fought a righteous war to preserve states rights and our way of life.
Reality: They wanted power/resources and to continue raking in massive profits from slavery with less taxes.
Both sides are full of shit but depending on where people are from they beleive the other sides lies.
@basedbagel @ButtWorldsMan your comment” Reality: They wanted power/resources and to continue raking in massive profits from slavery with less taxes.” do you think a plantation owner would have paid the Nigger tax, if they had access to equipment that would do this work? If it was legal to own slaves why wouldn’t you invest in your property they kept books on Niggers to breed more productive ones.Gave them Christianity,music and educated some improving their investment
@Scubbie @ButtWorldsMan I'm trying to be nice to you because you're from the south but your localism is overriding your logic.
"do you think a plantation owner would have paid the Nigger tax, if they had access to equipment that would do this work?"
HELL YES. I used to work for boomers in the south and they are a STUBBORN ass bunch that's for sure. efficiency be damned they will do things the way they always have
@basedbagel @ButtWorldsMan winners,losers…civilization wouldn’t exists without slavery,and we may have lost the civil war but we did our part by adding our genes to the gene pool of the nigger improving their IQ and our investment over a cotton sack fucking the natives was kinda our thang
I just think its unnecessary to be waving a losing flag almost 2 centuries later as if that's the only thing southern people ever accomplished.
Why not just put the flag down and appreciate the rich southern culture without it.
It's not like you're native americans and got wiped out. You're still here and doing fine so I don't get why anyone is still salty over the civil war.
@basedbagel @ButtWorldsMan because of carpetbaggers and scalawags
@Scubbie @ButtWorldsMan Alright then if you wanna carry that weight I won't stop you.
@Scubbie @ButtWorldsMan
"civilization wouldn’t exists without slavery,"
That's true
"adding our genes to the gene pool of the nigger improving their IQ and our investment over a cotton sack fucking the natives was kinda our thang"
Here we go again. If you still believe in racial superiority then whatever , but there's no need to justify the south's actions with all this race talk
The south has made great contributions to our nation, they just lost and a war and that's cool
