The Confederates were losers and we shouldn't respect losers and traitors.

These losers are just feeding the grass and flowers by rotting in their graves.

The swastika flag is the flag of traitors just like the Confederate flag is also the flag of traitors.


This is the flag of treason and slavery






The freedom flag of the Union





The confederates were America's mortal enemies we defeated these traitors for trying to secede and create their own separate nation based on slavery and hate and the oppression of minorities, women and children.

@Peaceandnamaste I will burn every US flag I come across just to prove that racism and bullshit exists on all sides of a war argument.

@DiegoWolfe You are right. But that doesn't change how prominent of a symbol it is. What most people today call “the Confederate flag” was born as the battle flag of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. Original wartime battle flags, are associated with the Confederate soldiers who carried them. It became even more so when in May 1863 (after realizing the first design of flag in 1861was confusing), the Confederate Congress approved a new national flag (called the stainless banner, which they later changed to get rid of the white) featuring that battle flag. It became a political flag, associated with the independence of a nation dedicated (clearly stated by the terms of its Constitution) to the defense and perpetuation of slavery.

In the decades after the death of the Confederacy, its flags – especially its most prominent battle flag has quite clearly lived on in infamy
