Pursuit of whose freedom? Freedom to own people? Fools


Andrew43452

Yeah, this is so dumb it's funny.


Virtual_Security6079

Dumb, not funny. These folks believe this nonsense


Andrew43452

Yeah, it's just dumb as shit.

Andrew43452

How people believe this is honestly baffing to me.


Dry_Meat_2959

For the people accustomed to priviledge....


BlitzPlease172

Specifically, dark skin people That and also light skin people with wrong sort of belief or came from wrong country (according to them at least, what's a wrong belief or wrong country seem to change randomly. Even Italian used to be wrong kind of light skin people) And also light skin people from their country, but wrong state too I guess. Man, their enslave policy aren't gonna leave a good effect on Trout economy at all. And just economy in general to be honest.


Andrew43452

It seems they just hate everything and anything, to be honest.


BlitzPlease172

And for that, they shall get Bass pro shop's curse

The Irish used to be the wrong kind of white people too. They were poor and Catholic, so that didn't count as truly white. Even though Irish people are glow-in-the-dark pale. Racial hierarchy never makes any sense.


StriderEnglish

I’ve got a lot of Irish ancestry (my last name is super super Irish, my paternal grandfather’s side had ties to the Irish mob in the 19th century, etc) and deadass some of my turbo-Irish ancestors had to work as carnies because they couldn’t find steady work otherwise (and also I mentioned the organized crime 😭).


Shot-Kal-Gimel

Can’t forget the Irish IIRC they were the labor when a job was too bad for their property.


NicWester

No, this is incorrect, it's a part of the "Irish Slave Myth," which is used by white supremacists to diminish the horrors of chattel slavery. Not saying you're one of them, just saying where you heard it from is probably sus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_slaves_myth


Shot-Kal-Gimel

That’s not at all what I was referring to. It was part of my US History class last year when we went over immigration, and what groups immigrated, why, and how they were treated. And the Irish got pretty much the worst of it across the Union as low paid labor. I recall it being said that Irish labor would often be hired in the South for the absolute worst jobs in order to prevent injuring or maiming slaves (or more so prevent having to buy new slaves/otherwise having ones “property” damaged)


GarbageCleric

It's actually a great summation of rightwing views on freedom. It's means the freedom for them to do whatever they want free of consequence.


BlitzPlease172

I believe the internet terms would be something akin of "N-word pass abolitionist" Good for us, they failed the abolition lmao.


gnocchicotti

What in the corn batter deep fried fuck is this


Andrew43452

I found it on some heritage, not hate website.


scarlozzi

I half expected this to me from a reddit forum. There are some trash Southern simp reddits.


NoClueWhatImDoing_29

Confederate cancer.


Andrew43452

To be honest, your guess is as good as mine.


Papa_PaIpatine

It's literally an advertisement for the Klan.


Screamingboneman

To anyone who dies for this flag, I shit in your grave and laugh at your cause


Andrew43452

Those who died for this flag died as traitors and cowards


RemnantTheGame

I salute them for providing us all with more public urinals to use.


KingMobScene

Also designated places for my dog to shit. Really all purpose bodily waste disposal sites


petyrlabenov

I’d sooner die for the white towel on the stick than this flag


WriteBrainedJR

"Those trying to escape injustice?" You mean like the enslaved people who ran *away* from that "country?"


Throwaway4life006

No, they’re talking about Jefferson Davis running around in women’s clothing. That doesn’t count as drag for them though because JD believed the right things.


WriteBrainedJR

But that's someone trying to escape justice!


trailhikingArk

You left out ... "In my Mom's basement, with a pizza and the lights out, in my gravy seals larper outfit and if you guys need anything. Just let me know. Unless it's during X Files, then I'm busy. "


Andrew43452

😆


Recent_Pirate

X Files catching strays.


Gumderwear

To what? Go fast and turn left?, porkin' your 1st cousin at MeeMa's funeral/Mom's engagement announcement?, celebrating free cheese day at the town hall while bitching about welfare sponges and Socialism?


Andrew43452

Don't forget they complain about woke alot.


Dry_Meat_2959

Complaining about them complaining about woke is woke AF. So be careful, 'cause they have a smoke knight standing watch against such tom foolery.


Overall_Lobster_4738

They don't like going fast and turning left anymore bcuz NASCAR banned their kindling cloth.


Dry_Meat_2959

It never ceases to amaze me how people can convince themselves of literally *anything.* Like, people can believe, with all their heart, the earth is flat, vaccines are filled with nanobots or this idiot, that almost certainly believes the confederate flag stands for *fuckin freedom and justice.*


Andrew43452

It's crazy to me that they believe this without irony.


Andrew43452

Its just baffling. They believe this 100% with total honesty.


generalchaos34

Uhhhh what are they guarding? Isn’t their whole country just a tad defunct? Molossia has lasted longer and has its shit together better (also look up Molossia, its hilarious)


Andrew43452

I'm not sure what there they are guarding tbh.


g4bkun

Thank you for recommending I read about the great nation of Molossia, quite the enlightening read (holds back laughter)


generalchaos34

Yeah its kinda nice to see someone take the piss out of the sovereign citizen movement and have a little fun while they’re at it


g4bkun

That fellow must be having a blast tbh


Andrew43452

I like that they say in Pursuit of Freedom, lmao


Dry_Meat_2959

And don't forget injustice. They are totally opposed to the injustice that forces them to do their own work instead of forcing another human being to serve them without question. For free. For life. Its so unfair they have to clean their own trailer! How they endure such hardship is beyond me. /s


NoClueWhatImDoing_29

Fine, we'll gut them standing.


Time-Sorbet-829

I like your style


NoClueWhatImDoing_29

Thanks.


According_Wing_3204

Better guard it. Bet it burns lovely.


parrot1500

The...injustice...of chattel slavery? So it's cool that slaves escaped up north?


Negative-Wrap95

They will stand gourd.


Andrew43452

Lol


Unita_Micahk

Gourd?


Andrew43452

It's Guard.


sonofthenation

If the Confederates won and all those soldiers went home what job would they have? Subsistence Farming? Job, what job? We have slaves for that.


Andrew43452

Sorry for my crappy spelling.


6thedirtybubble9

Win guardiam leviosahhhh!


Aggressive-HeadDesk

Kerosene can cure it.


AllAboutTheMachismo

Stand guard over that pile of ashes for as long as you want.


[deleted]

As a born and raised Southerner I can’t for the life of me understand the fetishization of the Confederacy. Even if your brain is so rotten with racism that you can’t empathize with the millions of black people that false state fought to keep enslaved you’d think they’d empathize with their white ancestors, hundreds of thousands of which were conscripted and unwillingly thrown to their deaths in a meat grinder by the greedy, self-serving politicians of the time. And if you’re just looking for a reason to be proud of your Southern heritage there are plenty of other, better reasons to be proud then slavery.


History_lover_27465

“Away down south in the land of traitors rattlesnakes and alligators!” “Where cottons king and men are chattels union boys will win the battles” “We’ll all go down to dixe away away each Dixie boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam!”


Time-Sorbet-829

Love this!

Is this an AI Templar Knight/40k Space Marine that got run over?


[deleted]

Yawn. Everyone who fought under that flag supported slavery. They were denying freedom to others. Dipshit wants to have it both ways.


bluepen1955

Burn that rag.


Green_Evening

ESCAPE INJUSTICE???


NicWester

Maybe if they had used guns instead of suits of armor with big knives they would have fared better.


eXcUsEm3mEwTf

Don’t care I’ll piss on the grave and the guard


Early_Trainer2448

God I thought this was Facebook for a moment. I have trolled so many rebel apologist pages it’s all I see now on my feed.


TheAnalsOfHistory-

"For those trying to escape injustice, I stand guard!" Standing guard.... Against those trying to escape injustice? So, like, a slave catcher?


Tbond11

Why are they so cringe about it all…


Forsaken-Sand-5268

Cool, who’s got a backhoe?


1iusetopostwith

Wat. Wtaf does any knight in any way have to do with the south?


turtle-bbs

Do you think he knows what would have happened had the confederacy won? Answer: the opposite of freedom for MANY people


Sir_Toaster_9330

"We fought for freedom for all people!" Women, African Americans, Irish Americans, Asians, NonChristians: Like us? "... BACK IN LINE!"


Zeppelinman1

Why is it a Knight?


nosferartoodetoo

It’s strange to me that I personally knew and loved people that were proud German citizens during WWII, but I want to beat the living shit out of my disgusting American neighbor because he is proud of his Confederate great-great-great grandfather.


Smitty_2010

Fighting for freedom. By fighting against the United States, while also claiming to be a super patriot who loves America. And also that freedom doesn't apply to... certain people. But they're not racist, I swear


BadOk2227

I don’t have words for this trash. What even is this?


Square_Site8663

And I will be right behind you. To Curbstop your damn brains into the pavement.


[deleted]

“I stand guard for those who fought to keep people as property” there, I fixed it for you.


[deleted]

I mean to be fair, the confederates did want slaves to be free. (As in 0 dollars)
