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”
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.
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
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
And he salted the fields on his march to the sea. Try that in a small town…
Okay all I know about this song is that it seems that it’s pro redneck and subtly racist with strong suggestions of “I’m a fraud of the big city because scary”. Also I hear the Iowa governor quoted it.
Anything else I’m missing?
Jason’s also from Macon, GA. Population 150,000. Small town country boy my arse. To quote Shooter Jennings:
I get home from a long day, put on the radio Lookin’ for some country soul, but I don’t find it, no It’s a dirt road free for all, some old boys sayin’ they’re outlaws, They dress the part and they talk the talk You know they’ve been taught to walk the walk These boys think they’re tough like they been robbin’ banks Cause they name drop Johnny Cash and they name drop poor old Hank
Yeah, I don’t think Hank done it this way.
And Jason Aldean was onstage during a shooting at one of his concerts, and do you know what Mr. “Try That In a Small Town” Big Britches did? Ran offstage and hid. Which like, I don’t blame the guy, but don’t release a song cosplaying as some big tough guy that will stand up to bad gunmen when there is literally evidence that you won’t.
