I’m offended. He should’ve said “to whom”
I’m sidestepping some parts of his past for obvious reasons, but you get the idea.
My favorite version of the same
Ooh, I have a dukes of hazzard model ive had for years because I didnt want to throw away a perfectly good model, and I also didnt want to make a racist shitbox. This is a solid option.
I was recently watching a few episodes of Dukes of Hazzard and them Duke boys is woke. Despite the flag issue, they were very against bigotry of any kind.
They were! But the car is still a racist shitbox.
I’ve got some solid ideas thanks to a few other folks in here, so maybe I’ll be able to have some fun getting it done soon
I forget what MTV car makeover show this was, but it had a version of that car with the confederate flag on the roof and all … except the flag used the colors of the Jamaican flag.
Oh hell yes, please do this. There’s a lot of options for subtle changes if you search images of “general grant car.”
I kind of want to name it “Northern Aggression”, and find some good small pride stickers and rainbow pinstripe…and maybe an antifascist action sticker for the hood?
Well I’m going to end up going down an ADHD rabbit hole of indecision on this for a while…
Yoooooo
There is room in this world an alternate universe Fast and Furious franchise where it’s nothing but buck fucking wild meme muscle cars driven by a montle crew of drag queens and furries, doing lefty adventure shit.
And it would demand a mighty stable of queer as fuck muscle cars, going from the subtle and prim and not quite proper, to rainbow pinstripe Trans-Ams that lives drives into the backend of a rolling base modeled after Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
The Fast and the Fabulous
I would call the 1969 Challenger the “General Glee”
…I would watch that nonstop.
make a windshield sticker across the top that reads “THE ROAR OF NORTHERN AGGRESSION”
Rear window might be better.
Ooooh, thats good… I like it
I would suggest that referring to “Northern Aggression” is supporting into the traitors’ version of the story. It wasn’t northern aggression.
I’m not sure what you could use instead. Maybe reference the “terrible swift sword” from the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
I made a rainbow flag for the roof of an orange Charger in the racing game I used to frequent.
Also had a 69 on the door for good measure.
Keep it orange and add flames. Then it’s the “General Sherman”
Love it, though the blue could be a shade more midnight for me.
Yeah, the variations online range from a sparkling denim blue to navy, but agreed, should be a deep navy with a subtle sparkle like the tears of ten thousand slave owners.
subtle sparkle like the tears of ten thousand slave owners.
GLITTER. RAINBOW. PINSTRIPE.
Well now at least thats settled in my head.
The worst thing Sherman ever did was stop
His interactions with native Americans is at least up there.
I agree that they should have let him destroy more of the slavery infrastructure, though.
We need a shermanposting sub on Lemmy.
Yeah, but at least we have one in the Fediverse:

Having said that, if you make a community, I’ll help mod for it.
He’s got some serious Hugh Jackman vibes - maybe that Wolverine stuff is based in reality.
Which parts? The slash and burn to the sea part? Not saying it was right but would we be here now if he carried it out?
We would not. Those slaver dynasties needed to end. Their culture–the culture of slavery–needed to be genocided.
Needs to be, I’m afraid we’re slipping into it again with the penal system currently in place in the US
It’s no longer just a matter of ending a couple hundred rich asshole families who we already beat in war. That was the ounce of prevention. It’s so much messier now.
The parts after the war. I got my timeline backward. He was a big advocate of the ethnic cleansing of the Sioux, and other tribes, in which he participated to a limited extent.
No debate about destroying the infrastructure that was upholding slavery. If anything, I think the slaves should have gotten all the assets of their former masters and the US should have gone through with reconstruction.
“Oh who the fuck am I offending!? The Nazis??”
Just reminded me of that quote from the Hellsing abridged series. Extrajudicial murder is still not good.
Doktor: “It looks like our forces are getting slaughtered.”
Major: " Aw, who gives a shit? They’re Nazis."
Using their beloved rebel flag as the noose is the cherry on top.
Totally. It’s their “heritage” so it serves well.
See also “The civil war was about states rights” “States rights to what?”
I’m pretty sure the civil war was about the northern states’ right to not capture and return escaped slaves
Funny story. Back in the day, Massachusetts found a loophole- there was a case in my town, where a couple slave catchers showed up, and grabbed the wrong guy- the son of a buisness owner and prominent black family.
They were immediately besset upon by a mob, and got thrown in jail. There were riots, and people threatening to burn down the jail ( a 1room shack with just the 2 slavers in it)
When they were brought in for arraignment, judge decided on a summary judgment, claiming it was too dangerous for them, to either be released or held in custody for a trial.
He opted to impress them I to service, on a whaling ship, which was a 90% black crew.
Yep, he litterally made them slaves ri a black man. They were both ‘lost at sea’ within 2 months.
This is like “it’s turtles all the way down” except it’s fucked-up legal situations all the way down.
Legal slavery 👉 Legal slave-hunting 👉 Caught the wrong guy 👉 Threat of mob justice 👉 No trial 👉 Impressed to service 👉 Legal whale hunting 👉 Almost certainly murdered at sea
It’s offensive to our lord and savior Charlie Kirk who died for our right to die from gun violence
I bought the T-shirt at his funeral!
18 U.S. Code § 2381:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death
big if true
“In trouble” how? “You can’t wear that because you didn’t bring enough to share.” At least give everyone a RedBubble link!
Got to be careful wearing a shirt like that. The idiot criminal president just declared being against fascism is actually being a terrorist.
At a certain point, the word “terrorist” becomes less threatening. We are currently at the stage where my niece refusing to pick up her toys makes her a terrorist.
Remember! Do not negotiate with terrorists!
Being against the enemies of the United States is… terrorism? 🤔
What, were the Klan gonna be friendly to him before?
NGL that’s a nice shirt and I was going to go buy one, but after looking it up the only option I found was a “kill the clan” shirt with the words in giant bold capital letters on the back and a crosshair.
That’s kind of cool, I guess, but I was really just looking for a shirt to insult people and tell them to kys, not to start dueling in the streets. That’s just strategically unsound.
I mean, it’s on the back, you can always layer it over.
Where is this dude wearing this? Pretty sure he’d risk getting shot where I live.
Eh, he’s likely already at risk because of his skin color.
Find a new place to live
Find somewhere where I can make as much money and have as high of living standard.
This is secretly the best ad ever. Where can I buy it?
sign me the fuck up I will wear that shit every day.
I’m not saying this is the only place and I’m DEFINITELY not promoting it because t-shirt scams based on memes are well established. But it is interesting to look at.
$45 for a shirt is ridiculous.
Hey it’s a small business. You give $45 to morons all the time. This at least goes back to Americans who aren’t billionaires.
No. There are plenty of small business that don’t overcharge. It’s kind of the entire point of a small business.
If its a hand applied silkscreen to a quality shirt then costs are high, you have gotten used to cheap Chinese shirts and slave wages making shirts cheap.
Yeah, a cheap printing shirt from like Gildan can be found at Michael’s STARTING at 20 dollars. 20 dollars (less maybe, if they can get wholesale prices) and you’re already eating well into any profit from a 42 dollar shirt after printing and shipping.
Is that USD? They’re significantly cheaper on their website, I only see $20 for odd sizes like 3XL. But yeah, the price of the shirt itself and printing is just one factor, because breaking even is basically doing it for free. Artists gotta eat too.
Then don’t buy it. If you just want something to cover up, go to a thrift store. If you want a shirt with specific art on it you either pay what the artist asks, make it yourself, or go without.
Found one on eBay. Just search, “Kill the klan.” There are a bunch of sellers and options.
Another woke DEI moment!
I am offended because there is something that looks like a swiss flag. It probably has another symbolism, but I don’t like my country being associated to the KKK
Well, that is the KKK symbol on wikipedia. You should probably direct your grievances to the racist fucks at the KKK.
you think that’s annoying? Spain is tired of telling everyone that those aren’t klan hoods and they had them from before the US even started considering racism.
