YEAH I HAVE A DEGREE IN AMERICAN HISTORY, I’VE READ DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PRIMARY SOURCES WRITTEN DIRECTLY BY BOTH CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS AND CONFEDERATE OFFICIALS, AND THE CONFEDERATE MOTIVE WAS PRETTY OPENLY AND UNABASHEDLY THE PRESERVATION OF SLAVERY. THAT WAS, LIKE, THEIR MAIN CONCERN. IT WAS SORTA THEIR WHOLE DEAL. SOUTHERN ARISTOCRATS PERCEIVED THAT NORTHERN REPUBLICANS WERE GOING TO ABOLISH SLAVERY AND COMMITTED AN ACT OF MASS TREASON IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THEIR “RIGHT” TO HOLD SLAVES. 

AT NO POINT WAS THE NORTH TRYING TO “ENSLAVE THE SOUTH,” IN FACT THE NORTH WASN’T EVEN ALL THAT INTERESTED IN GETTING RID OF SLAVERY UNTIL THE SOUTHERN STATES PITCHED AN ABSOLUTE HISSY-FIT AND TRIED TO TEAR THE COUNTRY IN HALF JUST BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THE NORTH MIGHT TAKE SLAVERY AWAY FROM THEM. THIS IS NOT AN INTERPRETATION – THIS IS LITERALLY THEIR STATED MOTIVE FOR SECESSION. THE CONFEDERATE CAUSE WAS INHERENTLY AND TO ITS CORE PRO-SLAVERY, AND ANYONE WHO FOUGHT FOR THAT CAUSE WAS FIGHTING FOR THE CONTINUED SUBJUGATION AND ENSLAVEMENT OF THE BLACK POPULATION REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY ACTUALLY PERSONALLY OWNED SLAVES. 

THE CONFEDERATE FLAG IS A SYMBOL OF TREASON FLOWN BY SOUTHERN COWARDS WHO WERE SO IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA OF STRIPPING OTHERS OF THEIR FREEDOM THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO INITIATE A WAR AND DIE FOR THEIR RIGHT TO DO SO, AND FRANKLY I DON’T SEE WHY WE SHOULD DISRESPECT THEIR MEMORY BY PRETENDING THEY DIED FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT THEY OPENLY CLAIMED TO BE FIGHTING FOR! THE CORE OF EVERYTHING THE CONFEDERACY STOOD FOR WAS SLAVERY BECAUSE THE CORE OF EVERYTHING THE SOUTH STOOD FOR AT THE TIME WAS SLAVERY. 

THEY WERE ANGRY AT THE NORTH FOR “TRYING TO ENSLAVE THEM (INTO FREEING THEIR SLAVES)” AND “STRIPPING THEM OF THEIR RIGHTS (TO OWN SLAVES)” AND “TRYING TO IMPOSE FEDERAL POWER OVER THE STATES (BY ABOLISHING SLAVERY)” AND “RUINING THE SOUTHERN ECONOMY (WHICH WAS 100% DEPENDENT ON THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF SLAVERY)”

AND THAT’S WHY, IF THERE IS A HELL, EVERY LAST WILLING CONFEDERATE SOLDIER WITHOUT EXCEPTION IS CURRENTLY ROTTING THERE WHERE THEY BELONG, AND YES THIS INCLUDES ANY CONFEDERATE ANCESTORS ANY OF US MIGHT HAVE

When people call you a “snowflake” just remember they’re quoting Fight Club, a satire written by a gay man about how male fragility causes men to destroy themselves, resent society, and become radicalized, and that Tyler Durden isn’t the hero but a personification of the main character’s mental illness, and that his “snowflake” speech is a dig at how fascists use dehumanizing language to breed loyalty from insecure people.

So basically people who say “snowflake” as an insult are quoting a domestic terrorist who blows up skyscrapers because he’s insecure about how good he is in bed.

Looks like a kid is already falling to his death

My grandma said this is how her playground was.

She remembered one kid falling and shattering his shoulder.
