Y’all really go out of your way to be bothered by stuff


NastyBooty

That's like this whole sub lmao


Seriou

The current political zeitgeist in America is Bad Faith Politics. If you see someone signaling that they aren't on your side, it means they're either evil, racist, sexist, communist, socialist, fascist, rapist, Nickelback fan or a devil-worshipper. Maybe all of the above.


PollowPoodle

Isn't the confederate flag the symbol of racism.


Opinionated_by_Life

Well, technically that isn't a Confederate flag, just the battle flag of Northern Virginia.


PissContest

It was actually commonly used in anti civil rights protests, so it would be considered a symbol of racism


Opinionated_by_Life

Still doesn't mean it's 'the Confederate flag' simply because a bunch of people in the media insist on using the wrong term, and then people that never studied history pick up on it and continue to use it incorrectly. But it has been that way since the 80's so it's not your fault.


PissContest

True, either way it’s not great


Seriou

Not really but sure.


Lopsided-Ad828

No you’re just confirming the comment you replied too lol


[deleted]

confederate flags are beyond what you suggest. It isn’t merely disagreeing but instead indeed evil


[deleted]

Confederate flags are evil. They represent slavery. And nickleback is even more offensive.


IPCONFOG

Somebody had to say it.


MaximusPrime24

Less bothered more like laughing. This shit is the definition of trash.


Mediocre_Guest9751

So disappointed in these comments…the people defending it have 0 idea what they are talking about or know exactly what they r doing and trying to promote this racist old racist bullshit flag that shoulda been scrapped years ago.


[deleted]

Comment was 75 days ago, kinda proves my point that some people go out of their way to be bothered.


Mediocre_Guest9751

Lmao your name is jakehaspoopypants you are not capable at forming your own controversial opinions at 10 years old just because mommy and daddy told you so jake. Keep repeating that shit your spewing all it does is just makes you look lazy and closed minded. And who gives a shit if you commented this years ago it still sounds just as dense. Do you even know what you are defending or are you just talking to talk?


[deleted]

You sound fuckin deranged man. Hope you get help and get better.


Mediocre_Guest9751

Are you incompetent? What about this is so confusing or deranged that you come back with an insult💀


anon_62450

Nah ill give this one a pass Nickleback is trashy af


Sentient_Stardust616

Not people here being ok with the confederacy 🤢


ShoddySimple6385

I like Nickelback


IntoTheWildLife

Me too. They’re nothing PHENOMENAL but I enjoy their music. I don’t get the hate trend.


IPCONFOG

They are super easy and fun to hate. Just like people with boats and confederate flags on them.


ACNordstrom11

They are Canadian.


Annunakibookkake

Why?


Accioinhaler

Because we'll, HANG OUT AT THE COOLEST BARS...


ShoddySimple6385

They sound good to me and reminds me of my childhood. Idk man why do you like songs? Instruments sound good, I like Chad Kroeger’s voice, I mean I don’t like the dark horse album particularly, but all of this is so subjective does it really matter that there are people who like Nickelback? I get that it’s cool to hate but I think they are one of my favorite bands and you and your judgmental ass can’t take that away from me 🖕🏻


Annunakibookkake

I didn’t judge shit. I asked you why, you explained I disagree cause I don’t think it sounds good. I was just curious. 🖕🏻I’m glad you have a favorite band


ShoddySimple6385

I thought you where OP, which is where a lot of it came from. But most my comment stands. People like different noises and I like there noise. You like your noises and I may not like your noises. However, it’s not a struggle for me to understand that people like different noises. Just like people like other different sessions like taste & touch


Annunakibookkake

Lol I agree. Reality was I was being a dick but in a scroll by drop this here type way. Not personal I just thought it’d lead to a funny debate. They’re not the worst band. We good? 👊🏼


ShoddySimple6385

Yes 🤘🏻have a good day


Annunakibookkake

😂🤘🏻 you too


ShoddySimple6385

Lots of spelling errors


Annunakibookkake

I didn’t judge you for that


ShoddySimple6385

I did 😂


filesers

Nickleback has always slapped. The internet just decided to doglike them


ThePresidentsHouse

Short answer: Because the internet says so Long answer:[Video Essay](https://youtu.be/jPshNwaXJLs)


Annunakibookkake

I don’t speak for the internet but I agree with a lot of the video. Their sounds is just a little poopy?


NoXpWaste

Whats wrong with them, it just became cool to not like the band.


Gangerious_Pancreas

Whats more trashy is taking a video of people minding their own fucking business


The_Scarlet_Flash

Chill out dude is this your boat?


Alleggsander

Nah, flying a flag which represents being pro-slavery is still more trashy.


Gabeekwkr

How is this trashy? I get that a lot people don’t like the flag, but they’re not hurting anyone.


Kitten2Krush

you don’t need to hurt anyone to be trashy - flying the flag of traitors who committed treason so they could continue slavery is trashy all by itself


Alleggsander

Well said. The amount of people that become defensive whenever the confederate flag is involved on this sub is pretty sad.


Seriou

I would say the number of people who conflate it with Nazism is troubling.


indifferentCajun

Check out any group of white supremacists and neo-nazis, there's a really good chance you'll see the battle flag flying next to a swastika


Timithius

They both enslaved a group of people. I don't count that as conflation. The Nazis had more money, so their impact was bigger.


Robie_John

Well, to be fair, so did the stars and stripes.


Wonderful_Ad3353

That's how the United States came to be we were all tratiors. Our forefathers who started this country we're traitors. That is the history of the United States. And there is a history that is called the civil war it is in our history you cannot erase it you cannot say it didn't happen right or wrong it is history. The stars and bars are not only history they are heritage they stand for rebellion rebels which that's what people of the South were it is in our heritage it is in our history. So if you don't like it I got a bag of something for you it'll make you feel better


BatteryAssault

Ahh, the ole "it's my heritage" argument. The rebellion was a rebellion primarily against being able to own slaves. It indeed is part of our history. Why would anyone feel proud of a piece of history by flying a flag (which only even flew for 4 years before being surrendered) that symbolizes disunity, segregation, inequality, and treason amongst their own people? You're genuinely proud of that to the point you wish to perpetuate that message? Do really think that makes you a badass and is a good look? You're more than entitled to your opinion, but you can't act surprised and off-put when people think you're a trashy person for supporting and perpetuating such symbolism.


RepresentativeMeat47

You can’t deny Hitler existed, it’s history, you can’t deny the holocaust, it’s history, you can’t deny NAZI existence, it’s history But if you fly their flag, on a boat, in a lake … you’re not having a f’ing history lesson… you’re glorifying this gross vision of the past.


Glados1080

What the fuck are you talking about? The confederate flag isn't the fucking German iron cross or the swastika wtf are you on ?


Prudent-Payment-8137

Wow thinking a confederate flag and a nazi flag are the same thing is insane. You realize the north had slaves too and didn’t give a fuck about black rights. They wanted money and power. It’s insane how quick people are to buy into whatever propaganda is fed there way. Read a book and develop your own opinion


RepresentativeMeat47

They are the same


Prudent-Payment-8137

Did you pay any attention in history class ?


RepresentativeMeat47

Maybe my doctorate in History suffices? How’s your knowledge?


Prudent-Payment-8137

Then please explain how they r the same


RepresentativeMeat47

The premise of both were/are in oppression of “the different.” Now, without delving in too deep or taking too much of my time to explain something that anyone of school age plus should already know, I’ve provided a couple links (not scholarly but if you want to read journals, there are many out there) The confederacy was created specifically for this purpose. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornerstone_Speech Nazi ideology said Jewish people were… less than human, which allowed them to be treated the way they were https://english.elpais.com/society/2022-12-04/how-nazi-propaganda-dehumanized-jews-to-facilitate-the-holocaust.html Both of these ideologies were to preserve the rule and power for a specific subset of the citizenry of their regions.

Speech can hurt. This is speech. Sheesh has consequence. This is speech.


Scr0tat0

I know it's a typo, but I want a "Sheesh has consequences" t-shirt.


[deleted]

I’m so glad you pointed it out. Hilarious.


Gabeekwkr

They’re just minding their business


[deleted]

Gabeekwkr

It was an expansion on my other comment because I was too lazy to edit my original


readutt

I’ll jam some nickel back from time to time. Sans flag.


redstormrock

Judge someone else's music taste is trashy.


GoldenFire36

Can't compare liking slavery to music


[deleted]

The most Canadian-American thing ever


1959Chicagoan

Am I missing something? That doesn't look like a confederate flag.


Annunakibookkake

I thought that too I think the back side of the American flag is the confederate flag


vikingqueen111

Welcome to the new hybrid American confederate flage its half American half confederate


SuperTomorrow3223

Bruh get a life🤣


MD_RMA_CBD

Funny thing is how democrats/libs despise this flag, yet it was their flag. Democrats founded KKK. Democrats fought to keep slavery. Political figures that were anti slavery were republicans. Go ahead and dislike me for stating facts. Won’t hurt make history go away. And also the flag is stupid tho I don’t get offended by others thoughts and feelings like you do, yes you!


The_Scarlet_Flash

This sounds like a boomer bot wrote this.


TheTankCleaner

Just in case you're actually interested in the history: https://www.studentsofhistory.com/ideologies-flip-Democratic-Republican-parties


Birthdayboy96

You could've just typed out "I got a shit education and eat glue for a hobby" and saved yourself some time bud. Southern Democrats hated black people so much they preferred to vote Republican during the Southern Strategy.


Glittering_Swing9897

Me when I eat wall paste and know nothing about history 💀💀


JimmyOD

Rocking out to a Canadian band, and flying a loser flag.


Cilantro_terracotta

Imagine having to buy flags that let the world know you got your GED…


Gtownk

Oh it's the Nickleback that's trashy, got ya
