Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

RULES

  1. No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Piefed.social rules

I think i agree. But i make a distinction between objects of cultural and artistic significance and symbols of hate.

If Germany wants a hypothetical giant golden swastica that was taken by one of the allies, then I'd be fine with their refusal. However I'd also be fine with them returning it if it is displayed in an appropriate way.

If they want to display the convederate flag in a museum where it is put in context and educates the visitors about the atrocities of the slave states then I think it should be returned. If they want it back because its "ThEYr HerRiatAGE" ... fuck their heritage.
