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.
@basedbagel Patriotism toward the idea of the united states as it should be. There's no big contradiction here. Just as there wouldn't be any contradiction in Jan 6ers calling themselves patriotic despite the feds labeling them insurrectionists.
@ButtWorldsMan I agree with you but i have to stay consistent with my views.
Winners of wars dictate the rules.
The south lost the war and the north won so its treason.
I would say the same thing to nazis, native americans or any other group that lost a war
So while I agree in their mind they are correct and in principle I agree.
In reality you have to win AND be right.
Now Dawson just looks like a sore loser waving a century+ old losing flag which is a shame.
@basedbagel @ButtWorldsMan the South were the side loyal to the vision of the Founding Fathers and the Constitution. They were the patriotic side.
The country has gone to shit and I'm not patriotic anymore. America died and the Cathedral are wearing it's corpse like a costume as they push communism.
But when did it die? In the Civil War.
I see your point but I have a quite cynical view on this.
I don't believe the upper crust of the south who bankrolled the war gave 2 shits about states rights.
I think they just realized that they could make their immense profits from slavery tax free by getting the common man fired up about states rights being in danger.
Remember unlike the left claims only a small few white people benefitted monetarily from slavery. Most were just getting by
