You should be allowed to fly the confederate flag, but only if it has another, smaller flag above it with Calvin peeing on it. A fair compromise for all involved.

compromise is what got us into this mess in the first place

you can fly the confederate flag, but only if it is on fire. and only if you are on fire.

the beauty of this solution is that the overlap between confederate flag havers and cross burners is 100% anyway so it's not even that much of a leap; they just need to burn a flag instead

They fly British flags at hotels and poo poo. We won the war against them too. :shrug:

british sympathizers didn't continue to whine about the result for the next century while denying basic human rights of a huge swath of the population

There's racism everywhere, but southern states embrace it like no other region. If that wasn't the case you'd have buried that confederate poo poo like the germans did with nazism. They are ashamed of their past while the south still has monuments to millitant racists everywhere.

Meanwhile, Confederates who did repent rebellion or (gasp) treated black people like humans, like James Longstreet, were treated like lepers

more reading for you alls


also: lol at wanting to ban political speech you don't like because it hurts the feefees right in your white guilt

yes a series of books by the same two propagandists does indeed constitute a serious critical study of history

and the only people who banned political speech were the southerners who banned abolitionist literature in the south you tool

How did the mods feel about this? We hated it. A lot of us looked down on the bullies and tended to pull pranks on them to try and make them GTFO. We would keep adding more and more mods to help moderate comment sections to remove the worst of the worst, but not a lot of people would volunteer due to how unpopular it was and how easy it was to get burned out. We did find a few people who thought they could help change the sub, but after a while it was all the same: we all just stopped caring because we didn't feel like there was anything that could be done.

We kept adding more and more rules to continuously target more and more extreme cases. Eg. "no 4 panels", "no facebook memes", "no music videos" hoping that this would help cut down on the negativity. It helped, a little, but the sub was still a huge embarrassment. The top mods would rather focus on the quickly growing /r/showerthoughts and forget that the cringe subs ever existed. We even tried to rationalize it by saying things like "if we killed the sub, it would just come back far larger and far nastier due to the backlash, and if those subs had mods who condoned that behavior it could get seriously bad." Basically, the cringe subs had unintentionally become "containment" subs.

well poo poo are we talking about r/cringe or GBS
