How are these comparable?

Holy shit, you're so fucking wrong
Not American, but I know my fucking flags.
1. The Dixie-flag was NEVER an official flag during the war. It was a battle-flag, sewn by the wives of the soldiers.
2. There were PROUD, BLACK men carrying that flag. The American civil war were never just "slavery vs. no slavery", the entire-slavery thing was a MINOR point. In fact, most white americans didn't even care.
3. That flag in itself has no racist meaning. It's symbols.
1. Red, White and Blue. The colours of freedom.
2. The 11 stars, representing the 11 southern states.
3. The cross, representing Christianity.
I wonder where the FUCK you are able to see racism and ignorance in that.
You could argue that the flag has changed meaning the past 60-years, but it's THE PEOPLE that are racist. NOT the flag. By raising that flag, it does not mean you are racist. It does not mean you support slavery. It does not say anything about you.
The only thing that flag means, is what it means to individuals. Now, if you are a cuck who wants to see that flag as something bad, it says more about you as a person.

flags by themselves are "moral" at all, they are just symbols

the REASONS that people fly the flags are what are moral, and the reasons that people fly flags (or associate with any kind of symbol in general) are many

so its entirely possible to fly the confederate flag in a moral way (or the nazi flag for that matter) because it depends completely on the INTENTIONS of the action

Freeing the slaves was a major, MAJOR part of why the North was able to mobilize such large numbers of men. That and the draft LOL. Saying slavery wasn't a driving factor on the southern side is one thing, but it was a HUGE (YUGE) factor for the North.

The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means “good fortune” or “well-being." The motif (a hooked cross) appears to have first been used in Neolithic Eurasia, perhaps representing the movement of the sun through the sky. To this day it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism.

Fucking idiot the war was entirely about slavery Lincoln was just too much of a pussy to admit it. Look at literally ANY of the secession documents. Every fucking one cites slavery as a cause. Also why would the CSA ever allow a nigger to carry their flag unless he was a slave and being forced to (protip: never would happen cause carrying the flag is a symbol of honor). You're a fucking Lost Causer and a revisionist of history. You're no better than a kike.

Wrong wrong wrong.
Go re-read their articles from when they formed. It was because slavery was not going to be allowed to flourish. If you're really that ignorant I got nothing to help you except to tell you to read the actual documents that still exist.

1. there were two flags btw, one was square and the other was the traditional long one. The square one was the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia.
2. not true at all. good try though. read the actual history behind John Brown. He was not crazy. The south WAS scared of an uprising because the slaves WERE treated like shit.
3. It is symbology for those that were for slavery and oppression of other humans.
1. The swastika was good before the Nazis. Not so much now.
2. you can count, nice! Did you know that not everyone agreed which is why there were pockets of loyal anti-slavery folks in most of the southern states?
3. Lovely. Religion has made it a point to divide and sew hatred and pain and death. Look up when the last execution for the Spanish Inquisition was (that is the church ordering someone to be put to death). Hint: 19th century, same as the civil war.

Go read primary sources next time pal.

1. It may not have been the official flag of the Confederacy, but it was used by an army who was on the side of keeping slaves.

2. It wasn't minor. Read the official Declaration of Causes of Seceding States. Slavery is mentioned time and time again as the reason.

3. Nothing has any meaning in itself. Words are just noise coming from your mouth. Society has to come to some agreement on what shit means at some point. To say the flag, used by an army fighting for the side that wanted to keep slaves, shouldn't be associated with racism is absurd.

Stop reading The Blaze or Infowars, and do your own research.

No matter what there will be people who try to go against the mainstream. And although it may be frowned upon our government allows people to adorn and align themselves with symbols contrary to them.

That being said I would also like to say two more things. I personally would never boast publicly the confederate flag and every flag has some sort of blood on it.

That flag you show is the battle flag of the confederacy. The reason I most hear for people having this flag is that they are proud of their heritage. They have family who fought and maybe also died for a cause they truly believed in. The thing about flags is that they are symbols that have different meaning to different groups and individuals. Wear an I love Isreal shirt and a Jewish man will smile at you but at the same time you might get some frowns from some Palestinians.
>>
>>684382298
It's not all that surprising if you think about it. Jews destroy every society they live in. The Confederacy was already well on its way out but how would it have looked if they started having niggers in their army? If they somehow pulled a victory out of their ass the nigs definitely would not go back into slavery quietly. In addition, letting niggers into the army would basically be saying that niggers were equal to whites, something that the South still doesn't say today.

However, Jefferson Davis actually did sign a bill into law in March 1865 to let niggers in. The war was over before any nigger became an actual southern soldier, though.
>>
>>684378801
A lot of southerners, and mind you among them there are blacks, wave the confederate battle flag because the North completely screwed the South over during the war. Know why the majority of the South has shit infrastructure and no old colonial-style houses or buildings? Because the North did that. Know why so many Southerners were impoverished and why there was constant in-fighting? Because the North destroyed and pillaged Southern property and forms of wealth. The South got fucked. Hard. In those days it was the States who controlled a lot of internal policies, not the federal government, and when they saw production and economic stability cropping up in the South they decided that the best way to continue exploiting poor southerners was to destroy their means of production even further. Now the Rustbelt is suffering, and good riddance. I'm not arguing for Southern independence, that's one of the most idiotic things you could think of, but Northerners shouldn't feel so high-and-mighty about what they did. They destroyed peoples lives behind a veil of helping slaves, and they helped created the increased racial tension. It's a fucking travesty.

there are many darkies I know who are proud of the rebel flag, the reason for the session wasn't the slaves, but the principal that they represented. The confederacy felt that the confiscation of the slaves was a violation of state's rights to choose whether to have them or not. They wanted to secede in part due to slaves and in part due to their fear of growing federal power.

Yeah yeah, textbooks and teachers will tell you that. It was more about emerging Southern industries threatening the bank-rollers of the North. The Confederacy wasn't perfect by any means but the Union saw that it would eventually find itself sustainable and growing. Slavery was a guise by Abraham Lincoln, a damn smart one, but it was never the main issue. At least not to the majority of politicians and wealthy northerners.

If the North just wanted to reunite the country and free slaves like they preach they did, then they wouldn't have fucked over the majority of people living in the Southern states. Yeah they were in "rebellion" (depending on your point of view, other countries acknowledged their sovereignty) but you don't go fucking up every little thing the South has.

No, it doesn't. The Army of Northern Virginia was anally raped by Ulysses S. Grant on multiple occasions. That same army also allowed Richmond to fall. The flag is nice and all but the Stars and Stripes have never fallen

Because the flag represents the South. Just like the swastika initially represented good fortune Up to until some cunt ruined it with their shit. Doesn't mean the initial meaning is false or loses it's value in history.

And for the record you should take a look at some of the things Sherman destroyed in the few weeks before the war was over. At that point it was pretty clear who would win; the Union had demolished Georgia. But with less than two weeks left to go in the war Sherman demanded his men to go and burn most of Tuscaloosa, then the capital of Alabama, and the university there. It was pointless and terrible.
>>
>>684385321
Grant and Sherman recognized that if they didn't break the South the war would go on another 3-4 years. Many more men would have died and the South would have been destroyed anyways. Grant and Sherman and by extension Lincoln saved the lives of thousands of more southerners by going for the kill.

Better the Union kill the population and annex the states themselves than subject the people to the South of rebuilding from the ashes. And for all the good things the North proclaims, they're still a big cause of the racial issues in the South. they demanded southerners act fairly, but spent far too little time policing the changes. They left a bitter and impoverished region to duke it out among themselves. It was terrible. You could argue Southern leaders should have prevented this, but what were they going to do when massive populations went underfed and uneducated, with only one type of person to blame because they were now part of the "Union"? The North could have prevented the racial disparity. Instead, they caused it. They did nothing.

Well he's technically right, there were slaves in the North. Before the war, soldiers from the South were allowed to take slaves with them to various assignments/forts/etc, so there were slaves in the North. Also, after the Dred Scott case slaves were allowed everywhere. During the war, the Border States still had slaves. You're correct in saying that the Emancipation Proclamation only freed southern slaves.

Slavery was a minor part of the causes for the Civil War. It was a clash of the differing economies of the North and the South. The North desired a free market and introduced Tariffs on imported and exported goods to attract European migration. The South wanted to expand their slave based economy into the new states and this threatened the North. The increased tariffs also severely threatened the Southern economy, shown in 1832 when South Carolina tried to secede but Jackson prevented it. Lincoln himself, while opposing slavery, didn't give a fuck about black people. He wanted to deport them off to Africa.

I'm sick of people saying that the Civil War was about slavery. It fucking wasn't. It was about the North introducing tariffs that limited the South and also shitting all over states rights. There wasn't a strong abolitionist movement in the North until halfway through the Civil War.

Jesus fucking Christ do some research before you open your retarded 12 year old mouth, you cunt.

Well for one, the North never needed to annex any states as the states never officially were sovereign according to the United States of America in the first place.

The Confederacy was well on it's way to being officially recognized as a sovereign state when the Union attacked. I'll acknowledge the fact that most States officially recognized it as a Belligerent Power, but that was more to appease the industrial and political parties of the Union than anything else. The Confederacy, in everything but name, was a sovereign state to many countries.

Oh my god, I thought people with autism were supposed to be somewhat intelligent. Have you ever taken a basic American history class above high school? People who say it was about "states' rights" are actually retarded. The "states' rights" they were fighting for was to enslave people. Because the federal government didn't want their states ENSLAVING PEOPLE it led to the attempted secession of many states. It was directly related to slavery.

It's the fact that most of those states didn't have the industrial power until recently. How do you think better legislation to increase worker's comp and other such things arose? In the south it was just, for the most part, farming, with the occasional textile and tobacco mill. The North had a head-start on economic stability so they had time to worry about social policies, while the south had to worry about economics and then the racial/societal issues that occurred. It's unreasonable to assume the south would be that much greater had they not been kicked back around 40-50 years in development, but it would be a much more progressive place in all probability.

Their ships were given the same rights in foreign ports as any other sovereign nation. But the Union would've severely reduced trading with any nation that formally recognized the Confederacy. It wasn't a matter of foreign nations despising the confederacy or doubting their sovereignty, it was the decision to not fuck up trade agreements with the industrialized Union.

Wars and political movements are economic. You're incredibly dense if you believe it had anything to do with other countries despising the South or some shit like that.

>>684388795
so that's why when Lincoln did what he "had" to do with the emancipation proclamation he only freed the slaves in the southern states and not the ones in the "middle states" also known as the border states who were down south but had still sided with the north.

When South Carolina succeeded, the majority of the population agreed it was because of states rights issues. It was until the Confederacy started tacking on states like Alabama and Mississippi that the Confederacy became more and more about just slavery.

There is a reason why South Carolina was the first to succeed, but also the first to surrender. The Confederacy became something they never intended it to become.

personally a slave, there is more stopping me from being killed, I.E. the fact that the master will loose money if I die. opposed to the fact that as a share cropper I am bound by the chains of debt, meaning that I am farming for free as long as the master wants me around. After it is apparent that I cannot pay my debts I can be promptly arrested. meaning that I am essentially a slave that the state can rent out. Putting even less incentive to keep me alive.

South Carolina was also a shell of it's former self. It's pretty funny to think it was a much stronger center of economic wealth compared to North Carolina, but it had been slipping by that point. South Carolina was objectively one of the weakest states in the confederacy, with poor resources and industry. It benefited from an important port city in Charleston but that's about it.

I mean, having to rely more on yourself and less on the state because of a poor economy would tend to make people more conservative, don't you think? I don't necessarily think that there being more conservatives is the cause for all of those issues, because many industrialists tend to be conservative. I think it's the fact that the economy was never developed enough for liberal policies to form by themselves in the southern states.
>>
>>684391062
Didn't you look at the maps posted? Do you think these southern blacks are rednecks or something? The areas that are heavily black tend to be unhealthy, unhappy, poor and lack upward economic mobility. There's plenty of overlap in the south in general, but using a map showing a state like Louisana being dreadful as proof of "southern culture" being shit is silly. There are very real problems down there, and it's not as simple as you seem to think it is. This isn't a white or black issue, it also isn't a southern culture issue. It is a distinctly southern issue however.
