Do we have a Shermanposting sublemmy yet?? cause I’m low on traitors tears and need to stock up
It’s Kbin, but that works too.
HOT
Oh we need one badly.
sublemmy
Dear God please no. We don’t need this place turning into reddit 2.0.
Always has been
Seriously? This whole thread (and arguably the meme itself) misidentifying Ulysses S. Grant as William T Sherman? We can do better than this y’all.
I was reading the comments and I was so confused LOL.
He was WAY too good looking to be Sherman lmao!
The entire discussion around " small town" is bs
I’m from a small town of 4,000 people in Northeast Texas and …in the late 90s…
Had to finish high school out of church because a kid literally burned down the school. He got expelled and on his way out the door he said I’m going to burn this m*********** to the ground and he did.
Person I went to school with got strung out on meth and decided to murder three gas station attendants.
So yeah the entire thing is stupid. As if protest and crime are new concepts due to a new world order brought about by liberalism.
These are serious issues no doubt but when I see all the memes about this song in particular all I can think about, " The sky is falling Chicken Little" or “if these kids could read they’d be angry” or “it’s funny until it happens to me”
Can confirm, my small town of 2300 has like six sex offenders living here. Family got arrested a few years ago for having an incestuous relationship, old man was shot by a cop outside his home in a standoff a couple years back because he pointed a rifle at the cop. I know of a guy on the other side of town (like maybe 5-7 town blocks) who shot his wife in the face in front of their two kids, served time, and later re-married and had another kid. According to some hearsay, the new wife and kid apparently think his old wife faked her death and framed him for her murder. A kid in my local school took his own life after extensive bullying. The school wouldn’t do anything about the bullying but made sure to have a huge anti-suicide campaign after the kid died. The parents of that kid didn’t get any of their other kids counciling after his death, and one of his brothers would later attempt suicide, only to end up blowing off one of his shoulders. (He survived and his shoulder was even fully reconstructed) Local hospital had an RN work there for years only for them to find out she had zero certifications AFTER she quit. Same hospital also had a nurse baptize a stillbirth because she believed the baby would go to hell. I’m told that nurse was fired, but not for that incident. Had a cop that was fired after he was caught having sex with a sex worker on the hood of his police car.
Those are the things I can recall off the top of my head, though most of them are stories from my mother. I’m almost certain they all happened within the last 30 years though.
I get why people do it, but man do I hate the glorification of Sherman when it comes to addressing
Confederatessouthern conservatives.He used the same tactics that he used against the Confederacy against the Native Americans, to vile ends.
Remember he thought the war was wasteful.
Because…what white man would live in the swamps of the Seminole, and the US Army lacked clear goals.
shrug
Sherman, was pro union and anti confederacy. It was that simple—to own slaves, or not, was not his concern.
There is no glory in war; Sherman’s own words say it often…the ACW was the waste of poor young American men, dying in fields because wealthy plantation owners would have it so.
This was the unforgivable sin in Sherman’s eyes, to inflame the passions of our youth, to no end.
Why glorify Sherman? He slept, rode, and ate, as his soldiers did. To know the capability of his army, he did not separate himself, unlike his peers.
He suffered ill health, mental breakdowns, familial loss, often on the verge of quitting — and yet, saw it to the end, despite the death and senseless carnage.
Remember, when terrible things happen to people I hate, it’s okay.
Nah, the war against the south the crimes against humanity that was manifest destiny are two completely different things.

I’m in a town of 3600… People are super fucking poor and still work their asses off. None of them would give a fuck if you “try that” or w/e the fuck that guy is on about… They’d go on about their business because they are just surviving. They’d sure as fuck not give a shit about any sorta of vigilante justice. They’d say “that’s definitely not my problem”
Pretty sure this dude is pandering to wannabees who probably have never actually spent any time in a small town in the US.

Uhhhh… that’s a Sherman “quote” but not Mr. Sherman pictured
I’m just going to not bother giving a fuck, since that’s what they want out of me.
And he salted the fields on his march to the sea. Try that in a small town…
Is he fat? I can’t tell.
I don’t think so but it’s not really clear is it?
No, he just has a big head.
Boot licking is cringe
So cringey
