2. Oh really now? Then please elaborate what truths “us people” are hiding.

So the Confederates adopting the image of the Battle flag into their official flags from 1863 oneards specifically because it was popular among confederate soldiers whom associated it with the Confederacy means it was never referred to as a Confederate flag 100 years ago or so ago.

Your logic is dizzying, to say the least.

That the Civil War was being fought over state rights.

Specifically, the state right to maintain the institution of slavery, which operated off the racist ideology of white supremacy.

My man left NSG for two weeks and now he comes back red, mad and nude for a chance to get some juicy plausible deniability for contemporary Confederate sympathizers.

One should never accuse their opponent of something they’ve done themselves. That’s pathetic.


Both the official Second and Third national flags of the Confederacy incorporated the battle flag into their design, rather specifically because of how popular the image was in the confederacy.

To try to argue that image is somehow not intrinsically tied to representations of the Confederacy is just delusion, intentional or otherwise.


The flag that is being displayed isn’t any of the actual confederate flags however. You have a right to remain ignorant.

Show me where I said it wasn’t used by or tied to the confederacy. I’m simply saying that the terminology is incorrect. Like how anti gun people idiotically refer to a firearm magazine as “clips”. People will know what you mean but the wrong terminology is a bit annoying to some however minor it may be.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

2. So point where I argued against this, I’ll wait.

He's applying the "it's only really a thing if it's in its name" logic. Y'know, the same logic that gave us unforgettable hits like "nazis were socialists because it's in their party's naaaaaaame!!!!!".

A true masterclass in understanding history.

It is absolutely, 100% a Confederate flag. There is nothing wrong with saying it is a Confederate flag. It was developed solely by Confederates to represent other Confederates. It useage became so popular that even those who support the Confederacy adopted it to represent support for the Confederacy, both durong and after the war.

How in the nine hells is this not a Confederate Flag? Its like argung that the Marine Corp. flag is not a United States flag.

The version I am referring to has never been any of the confederate flags, it was a battle flag, a banner. I am not going to keep going back with you people over this. Deny it all you want but you’re wrong. It would be been much better to refer to it as a Confederate battle flag.

Was it used by the military forces of the Confederates? And is it used by people who sympathize with the Confederacy today? And can you please stop being so emotional over a stupid flag?

Good god, the pedantic bullshit hoops you are jumping through.


Both Robert E. Lee and Beauragard officially adopted the flag as theor army's official flag. The flag was also the official Naval Jack for the Confederate Navy, adopted in 1863. Making it an officially recognized Confeserate flag that thenfucking Confederate government recognized as an official flag for a branch of the damn Confederacy.

It was the actual official flag used by multiple groups in the Confederacy, and was far from "just" a battle flag. Its iconography was officially recognized as being integral to Confederate identity, particularly at the time the Confederacy existed.

Irrelevant. It’s not “a confederate flag”, that’s used to refer to the actual national flags of the CSA. The stars and bars, the stainless ,and the blood stained banner late in the war. And can you stop getting butthurt over being corrected?

Going nuh uh over a definition isn't good argumentation.
To be blunt you need to prove that this distinction matters.
Why does it matters that a flag widely used in a shithole state is not an official flag but an official naval flag. What does that change in the flag's meaning?

Not what I’m implying. Though we commonly call it the confederate flag, it never was the national flag of the Confederate States.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Irrelevant. It’s not “a confederate flag”, that’s used to refer to the actual national flags of the CSA. The stars and bars, the stainless ,and the blood stained banner late in the war. And can you stop getting butthurt over being corrected?


So being the actual official Confederate Naval Jack, that was adopted and used by the Confederate Navy as their official flag, means that it is not a Confederate flag.

Coolsies...

You have a right to be ignorant.
