Fire Memes for Traitor Haters

Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

RULES

  1. No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Lemmy.world rules

Why commas matter:

"Try burning this one (comma) asshole!" = burn the flag on the shirt

"Try burning this one asshole!" = I dare you to light this traitor on fire

Do I get a twofer if I burn the shirt and the traitor at the same time?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Commas matter, but that particular reasoning sounds more like you're arguing they don't!

Thats what the flamethrowers are for

I'd be happy to do it. That chode would never give the flag up though. It gives him too much racism powers.

He'll give it up when he's also on fire

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

I like your style

What a terrible idea for a 6th kid/ring on Captain Planet (which was owned by Ted Turner, and HQ'd in atlanta).

EARTH!

FIRE!

WIND!

WATER!

HEART!

RACISM!

With our powers combined, we form.....CAPTAIN PLAN---wait, what was that last one?

I’ll burn that shitty shirt with the fascist still in it.

This should be the meme mascot for this community. Has fire, solid meme format, and a traitor worth hating.

They don't call Atlanta "Sherman's Ashtray" for nothing!
