The Confederate Flag was the flag of the Southern Democrats... The same Democrats who enslaved Black people, started the Civil War, Assinated Lincoln, Founded the KKK, Jim Crow Laws, Fought against school integration, founded the Welfare State, and fund Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinics and Anti Constitutional Family Courts to destroy the modern nuclear family... Oh, and they also are behind the greatest election fraud in US history. Don't get me started on Islam.
Hmm. This one's complex and depends on the poster's understanding of the politico-philosophical underpinnings of these two powerful symbols.
On the face of it, these two identities are antithetical to one another since the Stars and Bars of the Confederacy signified a States' Rights stand against the central government's attempted extra-Constitutional overreach. In other words, it was the little guys' attempt to stand against the authoritarianism of the collectivists. On the other hand, a secondary element of secessionism involved the permanent infeudation of a slave element into a caste by an elite minority, a move that was antithetical to American egalitarian values.
Meanwhile, generally speaking, Islam emphasizes the brotherhood of all believers; it's deeply fascistic, exclusive, militant and collectivist. Sectarian differences between Shia and Sunni Islam are significant, since Shiism derives from the murder of the Third of the 'Rightly Guided' Caliphs, Ali (who was also Mohammed's adopted son, and son-in-law) , and the murder of his grandsons Hasan and Husayn, by those who refused to countenance an hereditary caliphate, preferring it to be based on worthiness. Those who did the slaying were the majoritarians, or Sunni; while those who'd wanted an hereditary caliphate and who were outraged by the killing of the Prophet's direct kin, broke away to become the Shia, or...secessionists. Interesting, no?
So, bottom line, if one is approaching the symbolism from the perspective of minorities seeking independence from the contralizers/collectivists, then the ideological underpinnings of each are complementary; but if one is looking at the issue of elitism, subjugation, and fascistic militancy, then the symbols are contradictory.
Definitely weird.
leftists head esplodes
That was exactly my first thought. Lol
Thanks for the laugh and spilt coffee.
It better be a black dude
