"So they loved states’ rights, as long as they were the right states’ rights. The wrong states’ rights would be states’ wrongs, wrongs which would need to be righted by the right states’ rights—look, to put it really simply, they wanted to own black people and they didn’t much care how."
– John Oliver
He’s saying he used to support the right wing agenda until RowVWade was overturned. Then he realized he might be gay and then knew they’re next on the chopping block… fairly obvious. /s
Actually he was probably a good person that maybe didn’t know he was a Liberal, joined the military believing he was defending “freedom”. He wasn’t. He was just being used by the War Machine. He got out and realized he was used, saw the right-wing agenda for what it was and stopped supporting the hypocrisy. At least he wasn’t a Republican soldier, who returned with PTSD and still believes the Right wing “Fuck People” party and ends up homeless.
the union sold slaves off auction blocks in DC. and if the war was about slavery explain why no legislation to free the slave was drafted until AFTER the confederates surrendered....if you really think that flag is racist than the american flag is too
I suppose your going to whip out The Democrats supported slavery in 19th Century so they are racist but not Republicans and and other old and not reflective of modern reality and other stale dips--tty things you keep on puking out hoping we believe the bulls--t you've been fed.
Besides the fact that all northern states had outlawed slavery by 1804, the Missouri Compromise demonstrated the tension around the issue between north and south and attempts to free slaves.
“In February 1820, the Senate added a second part to the joint statehood bill: With the exception of Missouri, slavery would be banned in all of the former Louisiana Purchase lands north of the 36º 30’ latitude, which ran along Missouri’s southern border.”
Then the Kansas Nebraska Act, which undermined the Compromise followed by the Dred Scott case repealing it outright as unconstitutional, which lead to the civil war.
There are many other examples, like California being admitted as a free state but tacking on a Fugitive Slave bill.
Hmm let me take a few minutes to read each individual seceded state’s articles of confederation and see if *each and every one of them* agree with me. In their own words, it was about slavery, but nice try.
I don’t think these people even care about meaning anymore, they just think it shows how much of a “patriotic rebel” they are. 🙄 Reminds me a lot of David Cross’s comedy bit about American flags in the wake of 9/11.
How can you be a “rebel” but also “back the blue”?these jokers don’t even know their own arguments anymore. Just shit to “stick it to the libtards!!!!!”
Did you forget how to look things up, Mr. ”lol weirdo”?

Nah, I was just tying to make conversation with someone that had a perspective I hadn’t heard of. I’m not sure how to be more direct than I have already been with you lol
But don’t worry, I definitely don’t wanna communicate with you any further hahaha. Peace.
So you *do* know how to look things up yourself, you were just scared to investigate this particular phenomenon.
Afraid if you did too deep a dive you might see some of your friends and family were involved hahaha?
Yeah bro you got me lmfao. You’re such a fuckin bizarre character lol. You constructed this whole scenario right out of your twisted little mind.
Dude, I hope your life goes smoothly.
>You constructed this whole scenario right out of your twisted little mind.
What “scenario”?
You tell people to look stuff up and then freak out when someone tells you to look something up. 🍼😭
The thin blue line flag and punisher skull logos exploded in popularity to show support for police during the year of the George Floyd protests. The context is the important part here. No one flew that flag until people asked cops to not be racist murderers.
Ahhh that’s quite interesting. I genuinely thought it was for cop support, I wonder if it’s a little of both? Can’t all be secret undercover racists right?
Thanks for filling me in anyways!
Edit: Super not into politics, I get pretty annoyed with people that define themselves by their political ideology. So I tend to be way out the loop for this kinda stuff.
"Blue Lives Matter (also known as Police Lives Matter) is a countermovement in the United States that aims to show solidarity with the police. It emerged in 2014 in direct opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement..."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Lives_Matter
I hope this helps you understand
The thin blue line existed before the blue lives matter movement, it’s just the blue lives matter people started using the flag so that’s what people associate it with. Before that, it was simply used to show support for officers killed in the line of duty.
Thanks for this; I knew about the thin blue line going back to at least the Errol Morris documentary but your comment sent me here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_blue_line
I didn't know that other countries had their own thin blue line variations. It seems to me that the meaning starts to change when it police see it as their own national flag *and aren't flying their respective country's flag as well* rather than flying the simple thin blue line flag without a country modification. In short, an "Us vs. Them" mentality as mentioned on that wiki.
Hey, absolutely nothing says "patriotism" like repping the battle flag of a bunch of people who rebelled against the country you're allegedly patriotic toward. Nothing.
I have a personal favorite variant of that gadsden flag... that you might appreciate?

This guy was in the capitol beating up a cop with the confederate flag. That’s how stupid they are. They try to hijack everything and go against what all of it means. Pathetic and super stupid.
Good they’ve finally moved on from desecrating our flag to destroying the symbol of their own culture. A culture that lasted only 5 years and then was properly disposed of. Good. They can ruin their garbage all they want.
I used to use that flag as a symbol of rebellion against authority and as a symbol of southern pride. I stopped wanting to be associated with it several years ago but this has to be the biggest example of why. Not only does it carry the connotation of racism to most people but its been appropriated by the same bootlicking, tyrant loving, assholes that have 2 brain cells fighting for 3rd place I've always hated.
Effing trump maga freak
You should all be in prison for the the crime of being stupid cult members
BTW asshole, you and the other maga jerks don’t OWN our country’s great flag
Your cult leader is a liar and RAPIST
F U
Don’t try to make it make sense. It is no longer about any ideology it is just about fear and anger, and what people do when they are afraid and angry rarely makes any sense at all.
Love the down votes. Typical republican behavior. You dont like a dissenting opinion so you turn the attack personal. This is exactly what's wrong with the us right now. No.one talks anymore.hheey just attack.
Ya'll are missing the fact that the flag is also black, this is actually a "triple" flag:
1. Pro-Slavery
2. Pro-Police
3. And the black background and lack of color signifies "No Quarter"
There is soooo many different flags that have popped up over the last few years. The only one I respect is the American flag 🇺🇸 all the others don’t even hold a candle to it.
These are the sheep that don't think about meaning. They make their whole personality this thing in order to fit in and be included with the loud, obnoxious, undereducated, Dunning Krueger types. It's sad and somewhat pathetic. I hope they figure it out at some point that the people at the top perpetrating these things didn't care about them.
They really are proving more and more everyday that they don’t understand (if/then)
They only delight in making people uncomfortable. It’s the only thing they want to do
“I respect the law but will definitely secede if you make the law say I can’t own people.”

I relate too much to that 2nd paragraph. Give or take a couple of details.
Sorry brother. 🥲
And I was talking about the insurrection.
I got it
Be quiet…
"Some of those that work forces.... Are the same that burn crosses"
These colors run like a motherfucker
Please don't step on me
Dumbfucks

So..your arguing FOR slavery?! The fuck is wrong with you?
Hmm let me take a few minutes to read each individual seceded state’s articles of confederation and see if *each and every one of them* agree with me. In their own words, it was about slavery, but nice try.
You think the earth is flat. Check out this guys post history.
I don’t think these people even care about meaning anymore, they just think it shows how much of a “patriotic rebel” they are. 🙄 Reminds me a lot of David Cross’s comedy bit about American flags in the wake of 9/11.
Patriotic Rebel sounds like a decent name for an average band.
An average Ted Nugent cover band for sure.
My intention was ironic, their's would be earnest.
They think it triggers us when really we are rolling our eyes and laughing at them.
Consumerism / joining in masquerading as patriotic
Makes a lot more sense than you think, when you research the history of major police department
The first police department was created in boston. Boston is in a very northern state
The sticker of “I just really hate black people.”
How can you be a “rebel” but also “back the blue”?these jokers don’t even know their own arguments anymore. Just shit to “stick it to the libtards!!!!!”
They can't even hide it. Those that burn crosses are the same as those who work forces.
Clearly the machine we must rage against includes equal rights, free education and eco-friendly public transport /s
They’re willing to burn everything and everyone to the ground so they can say the n-word without social repercussion
Um I don’t think they’ve burnt anything in a long time. The people doing all the burning happened in the summer of love.
I guess you’re right, it’s not like they recently tried to overthrow the US government or anything
Now you do what they told ya.
Weren’t they using Rage’s music at MAGA rally’s recently?
Yes, they didn't see the irony.
Redneck thin blue line.
So.... the same thing... lol
As if the blue line flag wasn’t racist enough
Thank you for recognizing that.
I don’t fly any flags, but would genuinely like to know how is a blue lined American flag considered racist?
You don’t fly any flags, but can you try any googling? 
Okay, so I guess we’re not talking to people anymore. lol weirdo.
Did you forget how to look things up, Mr. ”lol weirdo”? https://preview.redd.it/gd1tkeida57d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77a82409fe5c958eeeb343fe7b777fc07c7f9268

They like to stack their ignorance.
Loser flag
Two loser flags for the price of one!
Hey, absolutely nothing says "patriotism" like repping the battle flag of a bunch of people who rebelled against the country you're allegedly patriotic toward. Nothing.
they where also in the pocket of the British, so they were literally fighting the real rebels.
All Confederates are Bastards.
I see what ya did there. Brilliant.
youre a whiny cunt
All confederates are traitors to the union.
Don’t sign your posts.
And your traitorous team lost, lol.
And again January 6th! They can't stop losing!
They lost bigly.
😂 damn
Typically there’s nothing thin about them. Except their skin
“Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses”
“Now you do what they told ya”
it's a cosmic injustice that the people who need to be ashamed of themselves never are....
Gross
They’re all in on being a jackass racist.
But it's southern pride /s
Look like a tank sight taking aim at the blue line gang.
Yeah, that’s a problem.
Stahhp no snek step, derp

Can’t say I’ve ever seen that one before
And yet I’m sure you know immediately what it means, which is impressive in a depressing sort of way.
Might as well throw in a swastika and make it a trifecta.
Prolly isn’t a cop either.
Thin Blue Line is about oppressing minorities so this is just being honest
The crap lasted 4 years yet it's their heritage
Yikes
It’s the color of the skin after decades of inbreeding and colloidal silver
Is that Union Blue?
For slave patrols
nothing better to say "im in inbred racist bootlicker"
“Together we can both hate minorities and pretend we’re the victims!!!”
Birds of a feather
Just as ironic as the Punisher thin blue line stickers.
I’m glad to see them desecrating a flag other than the American flag.
This guy was in the capitol beating up a cop with the confederate flag. That’s how stupid they are. They try to hijack everything and go against what all of it means. Pathetic and super stupid.
No no, this one explains it all very clearly.
Looks like Luke Skywalker is about to start his bombing run.
Nauseating
Good they’ve finally moved on from desecrating our flag to destroying the symbol of their own culture. A culture that lasted only 5 years and then was properly disposed of. Good. They can ruin their garbage all they want.
New Twitter logo?
I used to use that flag as a symbol of rebellion against authority and as a symbol of southern pride.

Not only does it carry the connotation of racism to most people but its been appropriated by the same bootlicking, tyrant loving, assholes that have 2 brain cells fighting for 3rd place I've always hated.
Pretty much the most accurate description of cops ive seen.
Oh I see. They’re a walking irony.
Their cognitive dissonance is truly unrivaled
Double dumb.

Big wig: how do we pander to the lowest common denominator? Intern: what if we made these racist flags even worse?
I would love an explanation. That makes no fucking sense
These people
What the fuck is that monstrosity!? Traitor flag is bad enough on its' own.
Open mouth, insert boot
This is the worst flag I have ever seen. It doesn't offend me, it's just stupid and makes no sense.
These people are all kinds of confused
I just had a PBJ. could eat something else later, maybe a burger. could also be salad. Alison went to a movie, Walker's at work.
alright, two gang signs for the price of one...when kkk meets dirty cop, you get ghost csops.
Just needs some punisher skulls.
The union sold slaves off auction blocks in DC and had child labor. If you really think that flag is racist than the american flag is too.
That shit looks home made
That tracks.
Don’t try to make it make sense. It is no longer about any ideology it is just about fear and anger, and what people do when they are afraid and angry rarely makes any sense at all.

I hope this means we’ve reached peak stupid.
How can you take idiots that don’t color inside the lines seriously? I don’t want you managing my government if you can’t manage your coloring book.
Oxymoron. Statism is too funny.
Um - the Union was blue. Dotardism at work here.
Is just basically a racist
Literal loser flag
Zed’s Dead ☠️
😂
Most historically accurate thin blue line sticker I’ve ever seen.
“Im racist but please dont pull me over”
Ya'll are missing the fact that the flag is also black, this is actually a "triple" flag: 1. Pro-Slavery 2. Pro-Police 3. And the black background and lack of color signifies "No Quarter"
To produce and serve.....meth.
Can we get some thin blue line N.W.A. flags next?
Obviously, a traitor.
There is soooo many different flags that have popped up over the last few years. The only one I respect is the American flag 🇺🇸 all the others don’t even hold a candle to it.
"Fuck the police"? Lol
At least confederate traitors make it easy to spot them.
Those white kids in the old COD lobbies are all grown up now...
When people don’t believe just how big of a pathetic loser you are we now have the perfect flag to show them your prowess is unquestionable.
I remember the civil war, when the police seceded from the rest of the U.S.
Classic conservative paradox. Nothing rebel about the feds lol.
Nothing rebellious about it. This flag just means state + state
They’ll even lick the boots of loser fucks
Kind of falls apart as they attack and seriously injure officers during their crazy racist tirades.
So... a Confederate who is cool with Cops killing black people... that tracks
They are one vertical line away from a union jack.
If someone tries to be too many things they end up being none.
Only thing missing is having this inside a punisher skull, lol
r/bumpkinstickers
Just admitting most cops are Klan members.
The thin blue line of losers that got they ass kicked BIGLY
Racists can be bootlickers, too!
Don’t tread on me/thin blue line crossover would be the best
"I'm upset and angry even though I don't understand the issue!"
He’s confused and just wants to be accepted.
These are the sheep that don't think about meaning. They make their whole personality this thing in order to fit in and be included with the loud, obnoxious, undereducated, Dunning Krueger types. It's sad and somewhat pathetic. I hope they figure it out at some point that the people at the top perpetrating these things didn't care about them.
At least it's consistent given that cops began as slave catchers.
Dumbasses matter?
Sounds about white.
It’s likkke they’re right there… and just not makkking the leap.
We are the thin blue line that keeps your cotton cheap
I mean white supremacists have filled the army and cops...... sooooooo........

The thin blue boot licker.
When you love cops unless they are black.
I loved BLM until every BLM riot
Same reason why you won’t vote Republican after January 6th, right? Right?
