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
Oh hell yes, please do this. There's a lot of options for subtle changes if you search images of "general grant car."
Keep it orange and add flames. Then it's the "General Sherman"
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....
make a windshield sticker across the top that reads "THE ROAR OF NORTHERN AGGRESSION"
Rear window might be better.
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.
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.

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
Using their beloved rebel flag as the noose is the cherry on top.
Totally. It's their "heritage" so it serves well.
"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."
It’s offensive to our lord and savior Charlie Kirk who died for our right to die from gun violence
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
This is secretly the best ad ever. Where can I buy it?
Where is this dude wearing this? Pretty sure he’d risk getting shot where I live.
Find a new place to live
Eh, he's likely already at risk because of his skin color.
"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!
What, were the Klan gonna be friendly to him before?
I want to work on HR to call them in, then high five then and let them hang out instead of having to work, bring drinks too. then ask them to look sad when they leave my office
"You're incinting violence" "You make it sound like it's a bad thing"
Here's a recent list of lynchings in America. Many are deemed "a suicide". https://newsone.com/playlist/black-people-lynched-recent-years/
So this shirt is just suicide awareness in that case.
sign me the fuck up I will wear that shit every day.
Found one on eBay. Just search, "Kill the klan." There are a bunch of sellers and options.
