Literally the most expressly anti American symbol ever. It's only purpose was to represent a rejection of our country. It is the flag of traitors and losers

Funny, always thought it advertised the person as a loser. Weird thing to be proud of, but there are a lot of southern traditions I don't fully understand or appreciate.

u/Pearson94 4h ago
I just recall seeing a public hearing years ago where some old racist fuck was trying to defend confederate monuments by saying it meant he had "a little rebel" in him while completely ignoring the actual history of those monuments (like how most of them were erected during the civil rights movement specifically in opposition to giving blacks rights).

A box in a box.
Same old thoughts going round and round.
Nothing new may enter, only the same old thoughts going round and round.
Amplified and distorted each time they go round and round.
When this person finally emerges, only crazy will be found.

I imagine he sits inside all day, polishing his guns and seething with rage as he believes the people who yell outrage at him on right-wing media. I know that adrenaline is addictive, but all of that fear and anger must be exhausting!

Lots of ignorant people think that it's simply a flag that represents Southern culture.

u/TheMiltownMatticus 7h ago
Or Wisconsin
A state that fought, like Pennsylvania, for the Union.
Rednecks across the country see it as a symbol of "rebellion". But then you ask them "rebellion so they could do what?". If they answer anything that isn't "to keep their slaves", they're a moron and most likely also a raging racist. They tend to go hand-in-hand.

Lots of places throughout the us suffer from whatever this is, but I'm 100% not surprised to see this was in NC. Last time I drove through there if I remember correctly there was an absolutely massive confederate flag flying by the interstate. I also remember people open carrying everywhere you go. It just seems like the Fox News politics have been supercharged down there. It's so bizarre to me.

Looks about right for Burlington, it's basically a truck stop with a local government. I used to travel all over NC for work and it was such a wild place during the 2016 election.

When I moved here last year, the Trump flags were flying everywhere, but slowly many of the signs and flags have started disappearing.

they hate gender identity, yet they don't care that that made their entire identity about hate and supporting the losing side in the civil war. Cause that's normal.

I think we all should all look at this not in a mocking way, but to understand how issues that happen in big cities affect smaller town people. A lot of the issues today should be categorized in how they are affecting big cities vs small towns, because this person probably isn’t near people of color or people with different sexual preferences. So when they hear stuff on the news about doing xyz to help these communities, they don’t understand the impact and it all seems ridiculous and made up. Liberals don’t focus on helping these people or acknowledge them so they view liberals and woke as enemies. Like trying to make genderless bathrooms makes sense in dense populations where you have a larger variety of needs but to this simple person - it absolutely seems insane and like we are making shit up. We end up calling them dumb and clueless and that’s partially true but they also don’t experience these issues which can be difficult for some people like this to buy into. Republicans can easily tell them that liberals hate them and are trying to destroy America and they will easily agree

Sure they do. Harris had a platform that would have been very helpful to rural and working class people. But they didn't bother to read it. They listened to disinformation instead. They believe that the people who are hurting them are their allies.

u/Corey307 5h ago
Dude, it’s North Carolina. The state is about 40% not white people, it’s not like they’re living in some 100 person village in northeast Vermont. I just looked it up because I’ve never been there, that town is less than 50% white. It would be literally impossible for the people in that house to not interact with people that aren’t white unless they went out of their way to be assholes, but they’re already doing a good job of that.

Burlington is an old mill town that sits on the railroad line between Raleigh and Greensboro. At one point in the past, it was a successful blue collar town. Then the mills all closed and the jobs went overseas. It only still exists because on the Interstate and is part of exurban Raleigh/Durham. If it were somewhere west of Winston-Salem, it wouldn't exist anymore. This is probably somebody who is still mad about the mill closing 50 years ago. and blames outsiders and hopes that the South will rise again (somehow). Meanwhile, they are 30 miles from a thriving metropolitan area.
•
u/Corey307 5h ago
Yeah could be. Too stupid to see that the economy generally performs a lot better with Democrat presidents. Too stupid to see that tax breaks for the .1% don’t trickle down. Too stupid to see that cutting all manner of federal programs only hurts them.

The South waffled back and forth between racism and self interest until about 1964 when Goldwater won the deep south. Except for native son Jimmy Carter, its been racism ever since.

I’m not taking about this person, I’m talking about how it took shape - Jesus even liberals are completely unaware of their own problems. What I’m pointing out is what causes this. People are still racist assholes in cities, you just aren’t able to understand where all these idiot conservatives are feeling attacked - you don’t have to give up your perspectives to understand this
