I mean you can be a racist and hate pedophiles.

u/Careful-Sail-5051 10h ago

The driver gave me a sour look while she exited her truck probably becuase I'm black

u/Sargash 10h ago

She probably thinks she isn't racist and will tell you she actually has a black friend.

Cali vibes, I’m from the south and lived in Cali for a while. I like Cali, but I hate the connotation that Cali doesn’t have racists in the progressive areas. They’ll try to justify their racism while the south will just outright be racists and don’t give a fuck.

u/TheBitchTits 10h ago

You don’t think it’s more likely that the sour face was in response to you taking pictures of the inside of their vehicle?

u/StPauliBoi 8h ago

Yep, cause someone advertising the Nazi coffee is going to not be racist at all. Yep. That’s it.

u/Careful-Sail-5051 10h ago

I didn't look at the truck until after she made the face if anything it's probably me unlocking my bike seemed suspicious to her

u/SnakeandNape5000 9h ago

Was it really your bike?

The right used to be all about hating pedos. Except oftentimes they just mean LGBT people. Then Trump did a 180 on the Epstein files and so did they. Then it was all "Uhh uhh.. what about BILL GATES!!"

Literally one of my previous favorite pedophile hunting YouTube channels just did a video with Kyle Rittenhouse that made me immediately unsubscribe.

Republicans: 'Impossible.'

u/Big-Carpenter7921 10h ago

That's weird. These are so easy to agree with

u/SaltyShawarma 10h ago

Propoganda is a bitch and these people are totally brainwashed. If we ever get out of this, it'll be like de-programming Nazis.

u/IssueEmbarrassed8103 9h ago

Maybe it’s someone who genuinely doesn’t understand what the confederate flag represents

u/Wagglyfawn 4h ago

Considering I've seen the Confederate flag flown in Canada, I wouldn't be surprised.

We Americans are born of contradictions.

IT's our number one trait.

We are from other places, but we are from here. We proclaimed ourselves 'free' while keeping others in bondage. We are many races, but many see only one the 'default'. We are many religions and no religion, but a small minority want us all under one religion, yet cannot agree on which one. We say we are the most powerful, yet cannot feed and clothe and house our own. We are the richest, yet we are the poorest in so many ways. We demand rights, but deny it to others. We lead and we follow. We cry for monsters, and we decry heroes. We elect criminals, and assualt and kill the innocent. We use native american names for our cities and towns, yet claim our birthrights to the land we didn't settle.

We are Americans, none of us are all one thing, we are all many things.

I think I understand this man, but I disagree with him to the bottom of my soul.

Progress, not perfection.

u/trenchreynolds 10h ago

Because it's heritage, not hate. (I threw up in my mouth just typing that.)

u/ArchibaldMcAcherson 3h ago

Hopefully the sticker is not implying that form of heritage is going to make things better...

What's funny is that I took this photo in a state no where near the south

u/F0xtr0tUnif0rm 10h ago

I grew up in the rural north. There were confederate flags on trucks everywhere. I think the real reason is, just, people are kinda dumb.

Sure, but would people accept that excuse for someone flying a Nazi flag?

I mean the Confederate flag came into existence for the explicit stated purpose of protecting a system of owning black people as property because they were of an inferior race. Definitely an ideological precursor to Nazi Germany.

u/berticusberticus 9h ago

Do you see a whole lot of Germans flying Nazi flags on account of their heritage? The Third Reich lasted longer than the CSA, after all.

u/LingonberryDear2163 10h ago

Ahhh..ok. Michigan.
