Lol. Again, what kind of moron can't recognize that he doesn't have enough information for a probability estimate? How much WOULD you say the average man has shat?! You don't even know my age, diet, or weight! Maybe I eat a lot of fiber. Maybe I've just trained for it. More to the point, you're now arguing over whether a man you've never met is a "prolific" shitter, without even having a threshold for the categorization. That's meta AND derivative. Anyways... Confederate Battle Flag: fuck 'em. America First.
I HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO SAY THAT PROBABLY YOU ARE WITHIN THE MORE THAN 99% OF PEOPLE WHO SHIT NORMALLY! ITS REALLY NOT HARD MATH! PLENTY OF INFORMATION TO SAY PROBABLY WHICH MERELY IMPLIES MORE THAN 50% CHANCE... MORE IMPORTANTLY, THERE IS LITTLE VARIATION IN THE AMOUNT OF SHITS MEN TAKE — AS OPPOSED TO HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHIES THEY’VE AUTHORED!
Comparing the number of books Brands has written on American History to others, he is one of the most prolific. I’m just saying a fact about the guy. Happen to disagree with him on a lot (more now that I found that article). But I respect the fact that his work is well researched, even if his opinions are not as thoroughly crafted (in my view). In fact it would be hard to be that prolific in aggregation and still maintain good interpretive skills. It would also be hard to be that prolific in historical literature without having some sort of merit to one’s output.
Your comment history is full of personal attacks where you seem to skip the logic of the other person’s post and launch into your own rude tirade full of immature insults which don’t really seem to land the way you intend them to. Maybe lay off the soy for a while? (Disclaimer: clearly I am aware that you may not consume soy, which os part of why I say maybe, and I think it is a good catch all figurative phrase to get my point across, which is that unprovoked personal attacks from behind a keyboard are emasculating)
Every state in the confederacy is a state in the United States. So while you say “America First”, you are telling a great many people with a lot of history whose relatives fought and died for their own freedom from tyranny to go fuck themselves.
Boiling down the civil war merely to a race issue is much of what has our country so divided today, and what has enabled these recent frauds and moral decay to take place. Nearly everything the evil democrats do today is blamed on the invisible specter of “racism”, not the least of which is the smearing of the south and the confederacy as an uniquely racist entity. It was not.
The battle flag was co-opted by racist Dixiecrats in opposition to civil rights legislation... surely you are aware of this (I mean that not sarcastically, I think that probably you do know it).
Many people did cling to their ways in the south. Habits die hard!
But it must be remembered, the Union did not fight to banish or destroy the south. It fought to keep them!
"for their own freedom..." To own slaves, dumbass. That's not a "freedom" you get to have. Zero respect for anyone who fought for that. Fuck 'em.
And I didn't "boil it down to merely a race issue;" it was SLAVERY, dumbass. Not "race." I merely pointed out the truth, which so many pathetic southerners seem committed to cognitive dissonance about: they fought to preserve slavery and were willing to end the U.S. over it. REGARDLESS of whether you think that's true or not, there's NO QUESTION that THAT flag is the Confederate Battle Flag, was CREATED as the Confederate Battle Flag, and that the Confederacy surrendered. I.e., the perfectly fucking obvious: THAT flag is the symbol of an ENEMY of the U.S. and a vanquished foe. You want to carry it at a reenactment? Great. You want to put it in a history museum? Also great. You want to wear/display it to "honor" it? Fuck you - it's no better and, in fact, worse than the people who fly/wear the flags of other countries (unless they're historical countries that were ALSO our enemies) - it represents a failure to embrace the ideological premise upon which the United States is based. Namely, that we are unified not by our race, or our religion, or even our geography, but by our ideals. It's been almost 160 years; there's nobody alive now who was alive in the Civil War. They don't have "habits," they have adopted culture. And, lastly, the Union fought to preserve the U.S., not to "keep" the South; their surrender meant they were supposed to reconcile with being American, first, not "southern" IN America. There is no room for divided loyalty; divided loyalty produces factionalism and weakness.
You're right. Factionalism and divided loyalty should not be allowed. Every morning all USA citizens must declare their complete and undying love and loyalty to our Dear Leader, Resident Biden, for he occupies the holy office which Abe Lincoln and others have won many wars from. From now on, we shall tell all those with divided loyalty to go fuck themselves. They shall be censored and obliterated from public life. They shall be removed from the military. Any disloyal countrymen, women, and children shall then be rounded up and taken to reeducation camps because we have no room for divided loyalty, or dissent of any kind, because that would run the risk of producing factionalism and weakness. Diversity is our strength, and if you won't fall in line with that then we cannot tolerate you and you shall be sent to the gas chambers. As for all the dissenters, fuck 'em.
They weren't "willing to end the US", they just wanted to leave the abuses of the national government behind them. But the north couldn't let that happen because they relied on them for many strategic and economic reasons.
You are so wrong on so many points. Seriously, you should read about history. You are way off in many ways. And you show so little compassion for people. There wasn't a nation in the world who denounced slavery at the get go until very recently. And there are more slaves today than ever before in history. One great example is at the border today. And this strong national government you talk of which shall tolerate no factionalism has done such a great job of defending that with the current administration, right?
People talk about slavery like it was always known to be this unconscionable, unforgivable evil. And yet, the war wasn't fought by Union to annihilate all the slave traders... it was fought to keep the seceding states under one united country. Out of this move have arisen many of the political problems that we are dealing with today.
An important part of our freedom in the USA is to fly any flag we want. You ought to take a highlighter and go through your bullshit and highlight how much of it is your own damned opinion, which probably no one gives a rat's ass about.
Many generations of my family are from the South and many of my friends' families as well. I am not aware of anyone in my own ancestry who had anything to do with slavery.
We are part of the US and have been for many generations.
Your federalist rhetoric is not constitutionally founded.
"No room for divided loyalty" you say.
The founding documents of the nation of which you speak (USA) are written such that I have every right duty and ability tol protect myself and my family over any fucked up national government.
You probably have shat no more than the average man, which would make you an average, not prolific, shitter.
