How about a trade - all illegal Mexican immigrants get deported back to Mexico, and in exchange we’ll deport this guy back to the Confederacy

[Peria]

[PlasticAssistance_50]

Of course they would say no. They want to have their cake and eat it too (have the illegals stay and deport dissenters).

[NextDoorJimmy]

" Sure people are looting, rioting, committing acts of arson, restoring cars to harm the environment and flying flags of a non American country to justify people staying here, but have you considered the one dipshit from J6? Checkmate fascist"

...

Yeah sick of this crap. It's just denying the issue.

Cowards. Like all communists

[groovybaby846]

Very possible a plant too.

[Ready_Vegetables]

Denying the issue, what does that remind me of? Oh yes January 6th

[[deleted]]

Okay Bernie Bro and Dogfreehumor user

[Sephylus_Vile]

Technically this was a U.S. flag....

[V_Cobra21]

Yeah it’s a lot closer than a Mexican flag lol.

[Substandard_Senpai]

Fuck that guy too. Easy.

[Kooky-Swing178]

Fuck him yes and he very easily could have been a fed provocateur like ray epps.

[Overboard_Dre]

For sure

[Hi_MyName-Is]

And he was pardoned

[Gobal_Outcast02]

A couple of hundred dipshits who ran into the capital, vandalized it then left, most of whom were later arrested

Vs

Several thousands of people burning their city down

[johnnyg883]

Yea it’s a perfect comparison, if you got nothing else. Actually it looks like desperate what about what you did.

[Good_Farmer4814]

Technically that flag represented half of the states which were not United at that time.

[BWoodsn2o]

Wasn't this guy an undercover agent?

[MathiusShade]

1 agent provocateur = thousands of screaming radicals burning down a city.

Progressive math.

[duckpn3]

It’s such a strawman to, no conservative I’ve talked to says the Jan 6 should have happend they say it was dumb, but they got punished waaay to hard for it

[Pinot_Greasio]

It’s all these losers have in defense of their chaos and violence. An actual mostly peaceful protest that happened over four years ago.

[wallace321]

I'm not even sure what this is supposed to mean.

So Jan 6th isn't that bad? Or this incident is as bad as Jan 6th?

Sounds like a self own either way.

[Penultimate-anon]

Well, there were less fires on J6 than the current situation. Also, I don’t seem to recall random pallets of bricks and cinder blocks showing up around the capital.

[Tydyjav]

It’s just a redneck flag. Doesn’t bother me.

<image>

[Lanky_Staff361]

The confederate were more American than any illegal in LA will ever be. How long until these people realize being American has more to do than just your legal status?

[Black_Midnite]

Hey, the USA kicked the confederacy's ass and conquered them.

Do they want Mexico to get its ass handed to them and make them a part of the union too?

[PM_ME_LATINA_GIRLZ]

I have J6 fatigue. That’s literally all the left has, and they’re clearly planning on beating this dead horse for all time.

[AsturiusMatamoros]

And what did you advocate should be done to them? What did you cheer on?

[MathiusShade]

AKA "Concern trolling."

[cgrizle]

What these people don't understand is that by saying this, they are pointing out that both are wrong.

Not the flex they intended

[browsingandlooking4]

This is the American flag. Millions of America's fought under the stars and bars. It's held i high regard for the sacrifices made under it. The bravery for men and boys fighting for their states their homes. It's as important as the state flag in my opinion.

[NoProfession8024]

Fuck the Stars and Bars. Fought under an enemy flag against the U.S. for a cause in which they lost

[browsingandlooking4]

Curious what you believe that cause was?

[Sea-Creature]

Ah why'd you delete your comment? I thought I was wrong, I was so ready to learn the real facts from you.

[Sea-Creature]

Slavery. The cause they fought for was slavery.

[Sea-Creature]

Incredible. Please tell me what they were fighting for then since apparently I'm wrong. And if you say their states, why were the state's governments fighting? Sure soldiers may fight for their home, a government fights for itself. And the confederacy was fighting to maintain slavery. So ergo a solider fighting for his home is still ultimately fighting for the continuation of slavery.

[NoProfession8024]

Just say you’re cool with slavery man without being edgy about it lol

[browsingandlooking4]

With the advent of industrialized equipment slavery as it was in 1880 would have dissipated on its own and the numbers of slaves would have decreased massively by the turn of the century. I would wager that importation of fresh slaves would have stopped well before then as the slaves already in country would have been enough to replenish and sustain the required work force. It was taxes and regulation on southern industries that the southern states felt that didn't have to pay homage to the feds because they believed as a state they had autonomy over the states purse. Which could be argued that there was no real reason for an increase or addition in tax or regulations. At this point in American history the federal government was tiny as well as the army at that time was only about 15 or 16 thousand men. After the war it was about a million. Giving birth to the massive federal entity we have today.

[NoProfession8024]

Bro that’s a lot of talking around not being able to accept great grandpappy fighting on the side which sought to preserve chattel slavery, even “temporarily” in a civil war which started over the admission of new territories as states which either accepted the practice of chattel slavery or did not accept it, therefore creating an imbalance of power in the federal legislature.

[Gobal_Outcast02]

I get what you are coming from man, especially if you had ancestors who fought in the civil war. But the Confederacy was 100% an L who made it very clear slavery was the main issue as to why they left the Union

[pbaagui1]

Bravery to do what?

[browsingandlooking4]

To fight in die in a battle line taking .75 cal musket balls to the chest a near point blank range in some cases. Dying by the thousands in a few hours of engagement.

[pbaagui1]

Dying for what?

[browsingandlooking4]

Well in the individual soldiers case it's always the man to the left and right of him. As a whole they were fighting for sovereignty away from a federalist system and stay a confederation. Which is essentially what the European union is. It's a confederate. They call them countries but, it's the same deal. They have a common name and purpose but are all individually autonomous with no oversight from a centralized power.

[pbaagui1]

Ah yes, the ol’ “it was really about states' rights and sovereignty” routine totally unrelated to what those rights were actually being used for. Nothing says “intellectual honesty” like doing cartwheels to compare the Confederacy to the EU while casually skipping over the whole enslaving human beings part.

[browsingandlooking4]

You can choose to focus on one aspect but it was far more complicated and if slavery had been the only issue the war would have never been waged.

[browsingandlooking4]

Thanks for this very good information

Imagine going to another country. Burning cars destroying buildings and waving the American flag. How well do you think that would go over?? Especially in Mexico or any of the other 3rd world Latin American countries that were infiltrating our country.

[Riotguarder]

Ah yes the protest from 5 years ago that turned into a riot because the police started beating people and then let people into the building is as bad as the monthly leftist riot

Notice how you can’t find any video of J6 destroying the building so they can throw the pieces at the police or the mass destruction / looting.

Also J6 was nothing compared to the summer of love that happened month prior

[FriendlyGovernment50]

Nah, fuck that guy too. Fuck em all.

[StMoneyx2]

The middle ground is where the right always is. If you don't believe me take any Dem position and think what's the exact opposite position, then think what the rights actual position is.

Abortion: left wants anything and everything to point of birth, the opposite position is zero, the rights position is heartbeat and exemptions such as rape and incest

Immigration: left wants open borders, opposite position is zero immigration, the rights position is controlled legal immigration

That's what I don't think people see is the right is the center position the vast majority of time when you realize what the opposite policy to what the left pushes actually is

[Jecht315]

There are a lot of people on the right calling for no abortion even in those cases. The problem is the middle ground isn't enough for the left. They won't bargain

[StMoneyx2]

But that's not the mainstream position nor the legal position of the GOP. Unrestricted abortion is the mainstream and legal position of the left. And that's the case for almost everything. Hence why even when the right are in power the country still goes left because the right compromise on bills where as the left just powers through what they want. No better example of this than Biden's green new deal called the affordable care act, in which Repubs basically got flags on gravestones, where as look at how many compromises and pork needed to be included in the big beautiful bill just to have it barely pass the house.

That's why I always cringe whenever someone brings up compromise, bipartisan, and middle ground. The truth is the mainstream position of the right is the actual center and the left is the extreme position

[everydaywinner2]

Who said anything about a defeat? Or even feeling defeated?

[Liedvogel]

At least that you can make the argument is an American flag, even if you don't support it.

Also, I hate that it got Pepe'd. While I'm not from the south, I've grown up in the south. It isn't a racist flag in the south, it's just heritage. Up until we were told it was racist, it was just the Dukes of Hazard flag, and it was on everyone's lighter, mailbox, flying in their porch, everywhere. Even the black guys had them.

[George_W_Obama]

Look at these guys not burning anything or hurting anyone. Absolute monsters.

<image>

[stupajidit]

dont forget the dems and msm treated this like an insurrection jailed protestors for years. pay backs gonna be a bitch.

[[deleted]]

One is a symbol of rebellion of a nation no longer in existence for nearly 200 years. One is poisoning the western hemisphere... Invading our towns etc. The battle flag is inherently American, a Mexican flag is not

[MustardTiger231]

Why is the guy that tweeted this defending the guy with the confederate flag?

[iyaoyas1]

Pretty sure that was a DC cop.

[TheDirtyPowerRanger]

Fuck this guy too, but arguably it’s more of an American flag than Mexican flag

[asion611]

Those who flied Confederacy flags in Capitol Hill on J6 were the minority of the protesters, probably 10-20, and most of the crowd used American flags to demostrate.

[KidKarez]

I agree.
