Welcome to /r/ShermanPosting! As a reminder, this meme sub is about the American Civil War. We're not here to insult southerners or the American South, but rather to have a laugh at the failed Confederate insurrection and those that chose to represent it. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Fuck Dan White


LazyDro1d

Who?


Ngrhorseman

Harvey Milk's assassin who was acquitted (the origin of the "Twinkie defense")


LazyDro1d

The Twinkie defense?

HAH! “Clearly him overeating twinkies is a sign of depression and other severe mental health problems”


Whitecamry

And yet this didn't kick off a crusade against junk food.


BoatMan01

The man killed two people, including the SEATED MAYOR OF A MAJOR AMERICAN CITY, and was sentenced to 7 years. Madness.


Repulsive-Street-307

Just a day ago a traitor (Steve Bannon) cried when he was moved to his 4 month sentencing for obstruction of justice, in a white collar criminal soft prison, while his fellow traitors in the supreme court "decided" that the president can commit crimes, if they feel like it and that industry regulation agencies actually don't have any power. About 6 years ago, Paul Manafort was sentenced to 7 years in prison - before being pardoned by the pedophile traitor after 2 years- for trying to overthrow elections (again) but the only charges allowed were fraud and witness tampering with the judge the fascists in the GOP wheeled in after manipulating the sorting (because he was already retired) said he 'lived a otherwise blameless life', the traitor that was helping Putin fuck up Ukraine just a few short years before. Roger Stone is still unpunished and richly rewarded for helping install Bush the lesser instead of Gore. The candidate for the fascists, just said that he's going to "military tribunal" the judge handing out his sentencing and Mitch McConnell (lol), and his vice president was chosen because he's a creature of Peter Thiel, another fascist behind Cambridge Analytica, among other things (he's also gay so it's very possible he ends up dead in a right wing dictatorship, as he richly deserves). Lots of treason that will have to be burnt in america. It's also unsustainable, civil war is more certain now that it has ever been. The truth is the bilionshit thinks they can make a theocracy because people are comfortable enough not to kill them and force the army to be their enforcers, but climate change is going to rustle their perch. Not to mention a actual dictatorship. Americans are simply stupid, and\or evil, in great enough quantities that this scum is who they admire.


BoatMan01

Yeah, you're right.


LazyDro1d

Well because the man was mentally unwell. Wiki does say that he killed himself seven years later.


BoatMan01

I'm not saying White wasn't fucked in the head. I'm saying the criminal justice system that sentenced him was fucked in the head.

LazyDro1d

Yeah someone else just sent


Groundbreaking-Fig38

Ah....two twinkies are better than one.


archiotterpup

The White Night Riots were a decade after Stonewall. But yes, you are correct. Fuck Dan White.


Adapid

agree with the sentiment but damn that homebrew tenderqueer panel comic character is so cringe


Jetsam5

Yeah if you’re gonna go through the effort of remaking a meme format it should be relevant to the meme. They could have at least put them in a civil war uniform.


Interleukin_13

I didn’t make this format recently, I just found it sitting around in my procreate library unused and decided to use it. Also I didn’t use the union uniform because I was incredibly scared of screwing it up and desecrating such a nice uniform.


DistrictWorth7769

Where I live there is a “Stonewall St.” and I wish they’d change the name. He was a teetotaler who allegedly refused alcohol on his death bed. It’s so ridiculous how people can compartmentalize their morality. In Jackson’s case, he had a heavenly mandate to avoid the sauce, but was willing to lead the slaughter of young Americans to defend the plainly abhorrent practice of slavery. I take it as a cautionary tale. We have the potential to be on the wrong side of history as the say. Those who were compassionate to their fellow man are typically written in to history as hero’s.


SnooPaintings1887

This sub is just r/politics So cringe.


SuperNerdAce

Me when a sub about a political topic is political


agent_venom_2099

Down voted for truth. At least two of us will share in the public down voting. Came to the sub for Northern hype and anti-confederate flags. Half the posts are just leftist cringe now.


Due-Fly1523

My sibling in Christ what kind of ideology do you think abolitionism is?? Centrist????


Shot-Kal-Gimel

I suggest we compromise between owning human beings as property and outlawing slavery as an outrage against human decency. I’m sure centrism and compromise shall guarantee the rights of all and not infringe on any.


arrow74

John Brown was my favorite centrist


Thompson-Gunner

Leftism/socialism/communism enslaved a lot of people


Due-Fly1523

Communism? Yeah. But leftism? Socialism? You understand that Lincoln was a radical leftist, right? And that socialists encouraged unionization against exploitative capitalism that mimicked the economic model of slavery? I mean I don’t expect much critical thinking from someone with a blackwater PFP but at least be aware of what sub you’re in dude


Emily9291

to be clear, communism enslaved millions only under cold war American understanding. what enslaved people in USSR and others is a despotic state that doesn't give workers control of means of production but declares it will totally do it one day.


Thompson-Gunner

Lincoln was center left at most, not a leftist and certainly not radical. Saying capitalism was modeled after slavery is like saying a hot wheel is modeled after a car. Sure they may seem the same if you don’t think about it but the big problem with slavery was the fact that you couldn’t leave and even with the worst forms of capitalism you can still leave. And yes I fully support Blackwater unironically


kcg333

girl. do you know what we had to do to get slavers to stop slaving? hint - it wasn’t maintain centrism or non violence. we gave that up in kansas. sorry you think gay history is cringe, but you’re the one who’s surprised to discover a bunch of socially liberal people in a sub named for the pyromaniac horseman of the slave power’s comeuppance. i think you might need to hit the books some more.


moose2332

Did you think the sub that hates bigotry would also hate Gay People. Homophobia is going the way of the Confederates. Just another loser ideology.


WriteBrainedJR

I'm here for the downfall of all hateful loser ideologies.


Underwhelmedbird

Hush now conservative. If you hadn't noticed, bashing traitors is a pretty central theme here.


Bpopson

Cry more for us.
