    Just keep antagonizing your countrymen. Then they’ll do something to ‘trigger’ you and you them and they you. That way we can all feel smugly superior to each other while the country burns.

      A fuck the country place sucks designed by slave owners and run by fasco-corporatist scum.

      B fuck this country

      C those fucks who died aren’t my countrymen and anyone who supports them aren’t either, insurrectionists and traitors all of them. If you fly that flag leave my country. My country.

      I will always feel superior to a bunch of dead slavers. That’s because I am.

        I think you’re missing the point.

        Whether or not you’re superior is not relevant. Are you (as the conservatives are) willing to burn down the country to spite the “other side”?

          If my disdain for traitors means I’m burning this mf down let me grab my marshmallows.

            Still missing the point. The fact that the left is gleefully giving up the moral high ground and lowering itself to the republicans level goes to show this country is beyond saving. Looks like Murdoch won.

              Left and right should be pissing on these graves. Idk why you’re gatekeeping the piss.

          Why? Will that somehow make it not entertaining to laugh at Confederates who broke away from the union so they could keep people as property?

      Confederates, by definition, are not my countrymen.

          “No tolerating confederates” isn’t a Reddit thing, it’s a moral thing, if you think the confederacy was alright go to hexbear and get the fuck outta here.

            I thought hexbear is for tankies? They are pro confederate too?

            That said I’m not defending confederates. The fact that no one here can think beyond “my team against your team” goes to show how far the country has fallen. It’s god damn pathetic.

              If you go for enough on either side of the political spectrum they merge in fascist elitism

                Yeah but traditionally at least in the US that wad mostly the right’s position, extreme reactionary populism. It’s frightening to see how quickly and gleefully the left is lowering itself to the same level.
