@Naam_Hai_Bulla@btharris93 Sherman was a White Supremacist who wanted to exterminate the Sioux and favored extremely lenient terms for reconciliation with the South. I know you just hate the CSA as a proxy for hating White people but that doesn't excuse your historic illiteracy.
@itscozy63@btharris93 Why wade into these debates if you're historically illiterate? The North was also White supremacist. Black soldiers had to serve under White officers and Sherman explicitly wanted to genocide the Amerindians. White Supremacists can think slavery is wrong you know.
@shriverist@SebMilbank Its martial skill and spirit that was always an integral part of America, from the revolution to the current day.
Southerners are among the best warriors in the world and we've always respected and appreciated that.
Hatred for the CSA is just a proxy for hating White people.
@TheMrmattyG@JRockofBerg@appyobliged "Actually I hate the American nation and want to radically transform it. I use antipathy against the CSA as proxy for antipathy towards White people."
There it is
@o_bright_flower@MetokursB@25YearsAgoLive Lmao in the end they asked the White farmers to come back

@NotFrodo@VDAREJamesK A lot of this stuff was amplified by Soviet propaganda
China still does this. They run countless English language articles aimed at the West about the dangers of global warming and how China is innovating solar while in reality China mines more coal than anyone.
@BradPope20@VDAREJamesK "I never developed an addiction to opiates or gambling. That means these things can't possibly be problems for other people."
People will claim they understand the difference between reality and fiction but many people truly cannot. It emotionally affects them and biases them.
@HeavyNutrino@pegobry_en It really didn't. Even episodes like Homer the Heretic or Bart Sells his Soul mocked Christianity, they just didn't have the blood from fangs dripping hatred for it of a 1920s Soviet commissar.
The lesson of Homer the Heretic is "Christian, Jewish, Hindu, meh it's all the same!"
@MaxMBJ@pegobry_en@douglassmackey The Simpsons was a very funny show but its cultural impact has been almost entirely negative
It was considered wildly subversive at the time, because it was. It only seems wholesome in retrospect because societal values have deteriorated so much.
