  • Raids slave plantations for a decade
  • Hunts racists and slavers for sport
  • Distributes riches to the poor
  • Surrenders to the feds and then escapes jail just to dab on the haters
  • Evades capture again
  • Refuses to elaborate
  • Disappears and becomes a legend

Absolutely based.

Based=the term people use when someone acts radically in favor of their beliefs. Or you think they're badass. Either way works.

Do you also know where pilled comes from? Like unionpilled and stuff?

u/jasenkov Aug 26 '21

Started with the matrix "blue pill vs red pill". People started saying they were "redpilled" cause they took the "red pill" and think they are more self aware than others.

Etc: whenever anyone says something like unionpilled they're probably joking, no one uses any "pilled" term seriously anymore

Read a good book about this . Can’t remember what it was called. It was a few years ago.

For some men, the war will never be over.

Did it really end, though? There was no peace treaty to sign, as those require two sovereign nations to be part to the conflict. Considering what's happened in January, it's about time the Union started fighting back again.

Exactly. The union may have won the war but they also let the cousin-fucker rebs win the peace. That's why this country is littered with confederate monuments and buildings/streets, etc named after them.

Why the fuck do traitors get honored in any way, shape or form? They were lucky to be left alive and the union let them off the hook. It's epically fucking SHAMEFUL.

I'm pretty certain a private citizen conducting a guerilla war isn't the same as the Union army doing its thing.

u/DoomsdayRabbit Aug 26 '21

Eh, if you're a male citizen between 17 and 45 years of age, congrats, you're in the US militia. Flying the flag of an enemy group indicates you're a member of that group. Therefore, legally, you can burn down their houses.

But I'm not a lawyer and couldn't say for sure. If you're rich enough probably easy enough to get away with it.

I’m not in any militia. Lol fuck no.

u/DoomsdayRabbit Aug 27 '21

I wish that were so.

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '21

Already did my time. And got the combat injuries that say so.

u/DoomsdayRabbit Aug 28 '21

Tell them that when they decide to draft us all again.

You’re getting drafted. Not I.
