I'm offended. He should've said "to whom"

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 160 points 3 days ago (10 children)

I'm sidestepping some parts of his past for obvious reasons, but you get the idea.

My favorite version of the same

Ooh, I have a dukes of hazzard model ive had for years because I didnt want to throw away a perfectly good model, and I also didnt want to make a racist shitbox. This is a solid option.

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I was recently watching a few episodes of Dukes of Hazzard and them Duke boys is woke. Despite the flag issue, they were very against bigotry of any kind.

"Oh who the fuck am I offending!? The Nazis??"

Just reminded me of that quote from the Hellsing abridged series. Extrajudicial murder is still not good.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 days ago

Doktor: "It looks like our forces are getting slaughtered."

Major: " Aw, who gives a shit? They're Nazis."

Using their beloved rebel flag as the noose is the cherry on top.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 20 points 2 days ago

Totally. It's their "heritage" so it serves well.

See also "The civil war was about states rights" "States rights to what?"

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure the civil war was about the northern states' right to not capture and return escaped slaves

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Funny story. Back in the day, Massachusetts found a loophole- there was a case in my town, where a couple slave catchers showed up, and grabbed the wrong guy- the son of a buisness owner and prominent black family.

They were immediately besset upon by a mob, and got thrown in jail. There were riots, and people threatening to burn down the jail ( a 1room shack with just the 2 slavers in it)

When they were brought in for arraignment, judge decided on a summary judgment, claiming it was too dangerous for them, to either be released or held in custody for a trial.

He opted to impress them I to service, on a whaling ship, which was a 90% black crew.

Yep, he litterally made them slaves ri a black man. They were both 'lost at sea' within 2 months.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

This is like "it's turtles all the way down" except it's fucked-up legal situations all the way down.

Legal slavery 👉 Legal slave-hunting 👉 Caught the wrong guy 👉 Threat of mob justice 👉 No trial 👉 Impressed to service 👉 Legal whale hunting 👉 Almost certainly murdered at sea

It’s offensive to our lord and savior Charlie Kirk who died for our right to die from gun violence

I bought the T-shirt at his funeral!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 76 points 3 days ago (2 children)

"In trouble" how? "You can't wear that because you didn't bring enough to share." At least give everyone a RedBubble link!

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 43 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Got to be careful wearing a shirt like that. The idiot criminal president just declared being against fascism is actually being a terrorist.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 41 points 2 days ago (1 children)

At a certain point, the word “terrorist” becomes less threatening. We are currently at the stage where my niece refusing to pick up her toys makes her a terrorist.

NGL that's a nice shirt and I was going to go buy one, but after looking it up the only option I found was a "kill the clan" shirt with the words in giant bold capital letters on the back and a crosshair.

That's kind of cool, I guess, but I was really just looking for a shirt to insult people and tell them to kys, not to start dueling in the streets. That's just strategically unsound.

18 U.S. Code § 2381:

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 8 points 2 days ago

big if true

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago

This is secretly the best ad ever. Where can I buy it?

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Where is this dude wearing this? Pretty sure he’d risk getting shot where I live.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago

Eh, he's likely already at risk because of his skin color.

I’m not saying this is the only place and I’m DEFINITELY not promoting it because t-shirt scams based on memes are well established. But it is interesting to look at.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

$45 for a shirt is ridiculous.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Hey it’s a small business. You give $45 to morons all the time. This at least goes back to Americans who aren’t billionaires.

Then don’t buy it. If you just want something to cover up, go to a thrift store. If you want a shirt with specific art on it you either pay what the artist asks, make it yourself, or go without.

[–] HorreC@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago

sign me the fuck up I will wear that shit every day.

[–] s1ndr0m3@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Found one on eBay. Just search, "Kill the klan." There are a bunch of sellers and options.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 3 days ago

Another woke DEI moment!

[–] LegoBrickOnFire@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I am offended because there is something that looks like a swiss flag. It probably has another symbolism, but I don't like my country being associated to the KKK

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 28 points 2 days ago

Well, that is the KKK symbol on wikipedia. You should probably direct your grievances to the racist fucks at the KKK.

you think that's annoying? Spain is tired of telling everyone that those aren't klan hoods and they had them from before the US even started considering racism.

"You're incinting violence" "You make it sound like it's a bad thing"

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Here's a recent list of lynchings in America. Many are deemed "a suicide". https://newsone.com/playlist/black-people-lynched-recent-years/

So this shirt is just suicide awareness in that case.

Where would you get one of those? Asking for a friend.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Several results showing that the back says in giant bold letters KILL THE KLAN so just Google that
