Hate to be that guy, but it’s “Should’ve” and not “Should of”.
Good meme btw
Which is “should have” when spelt out.
Genuine question: is is spelt or spelled, or do both work?
Both work, but using spelt is more fun.
I don’t know. I’m more of a barley sort of guy, myself.

I assumed “spelt” was wrong, but an internet search tells me both are correct.
One is “vivacious English”, the other “simplified English”
Fun fact, related to this: learned and learnt are also both correct. I always assumed learnt was a redneck thing (I’m from the south), but it turns out the Brits use it too. Who knew?
So it’s lingually sound but regionally a redneck thing, then?
I’ve heard it used in a sentence like “When I was a boy, my daddy done learnt me a thing or two about fishin’”. Which is why it’s associated with southern slang, I think. That’s my hypothesis anyway.
Folks in west verginnie use words and phrases carried over from the old days when talkin like brits and Frenchmen was considered fancy, and it’s devolved into hill folk lingo. Yes, it’s technically a dialect but it’s not proper grammar in American English just because some hillfolk and southern drawl says it.
Right, I get that it’s not grammatically correct in that context, but the word itself is valid. I had always thought “learnt” was akin to “ain’t”, but that’s not the case. Both “learned” and “learnt” are correct, but the latter is less commonly used in the US.
Yea crap you’re right, I wish I could correct the title

You can on lemmy!
Me too 😔. Well at least you will know for next time.
The only issue with this adaptation of a great comic is that it infers the Confederacy was a well built structure that depended on that one small thing. The Confederacy didn’t exist that long, it even didn’t have a single flag version for longer than a year or so. Change it to the southern states’ economy and it makes more sense.
Then the slavery would be a much bigger piece though, so this meme really makes no sense at all
It’s… blocks haphazardly balanced. Which is completely the point. Do you think that looks like a “well-built structure”?
It’s certainly a chaotic mess, but perhaps knowing the original subject of the comic tarnishes my take on it being used for other things in the same way. Analogies are often tricky.
I think it’s pretty ironic that this meme is trying to make a statement about the confederacy not acknowledging the work/contribution of slavery and having trouble doing so because it’s an uncredited “”adaption”” of someone else’s meme.
slavery is too morally bankrupt to ever have a cool maintainer like the cURL dude
You forgot the genocide
Stolen land with stolen people
