I also like how people do it in Northern states. I live in Indiana and I see the Stars and Bars all the time. Sometimes with the Indiana state flag. The fools don't even know what side we were on.
It's all over in WV. The state that seceded from the Confederacy. And then when confronted they say it's their heritage.
Mother fucker, what heritage?
Racism. that's it. 'Heritage' is code for racism and 'family values' is code for heterosexism
They're proud of more things than just racism. Like poverty
It's a good thing they are great at being sneaky, otherwise we wouldn't be able to figure it out almost instantaneously...
West Virginia was also a labor union hotspot during the 20th century. Were even willing to take up arms against the mine companies when they started getting labor organizers murdered and miners were dying by the hundreds in purposely shitily operated mines to increase profits.
Nowadays. They seem to do everything possible to please the mine companies even if it screws them over.
1000%. We elected a coal baron to governor and he's planning to run for house or senate next, likely to win.
The culture here is fucked. They'll fly the flag their grandfather's died to fight against, they'll vote for people their grandfather's died to oppose, and they'll condemn education their father's worked to provide for them, all under the guise of "dems want to take my guns and make my kids trans".
Heritage of power
What do you mean?
White
Dude, they have people flying them in Canada. I don't think there's much common sense in the folks who publicly display it.
I once asked a guy why he would fly a Confederate flag in Canada and he said, “If you have to ask you wouldn’t understand.”
I guess he was right. I don’t understand.
It's a rebellious symbol. If talking heads said the flag of Kazakhstan was evil and we should all hate anyone who has one, it would have been that.
Bruh ive seen this shit in CANADA!!!!! like my guy, we beat them well before the damn civil war, we were event THERE!!!!
Some idiots even use it in Europe and Australia,
I thought that was a nickname for the regular flag. TIL
"Old Glory"
So THAT'S why you have to throw it out the minute it gets damaged! To avoid Glory holes!
I see it on Ohio too. Go ask someone from the south if Ohio has Yankees or not
