So today at work a guy came into the drive thru and he had a Confederate flag tattoo. It always makes me especially angry since I live in PA and we won and those people consciously choose to display the flag of the enemy, who stood for slavery to begin with.
And don't even try and pretend that the Civil War wasn't about slavery. Sure, it was about states' rights too, but a state's right to what? Allow slavery. All the other states' rights issues like nullification and tariffs were dealt with without states ever seceding.
But anyway, I just automatically see somebody wearing the Confederate flag to be a traitor to their country, especially considering I have lived in the North all my life, not to mention it's casually tribal and basically the equivalent of showing the middle finger to black people.
I don't care if it's country pride, I don't care if it's Southern pride, that's a flag that stood for slavery and against this country. To get Godwin's law out of the way quickly, you don't see Germans flying the national socialist flag to celebrate their pride in Riddler's improved railway systems.
