Yes, it's a flag of surrender. And also a literal dishtowel. They used what they had, which wasn't much, apparently, lmao

in fairness taking a white flag to war is gonna get called out as expecting to lose, so of all the things you'd expect them to have that wouldn't be it

You don't need to play devil's advocate for traitorous slavers.

Just take flags in many colors and say you want to use them for signaling.

Being smug about winning the first Civil War doesn't mean much when the second is around the corner.

What, do the racist reactionary fucks need to have their asses handed to them again?

Well, they have all the guns and a healthy dose of insanity. So maybe direct conflict with no plan isn't the path to victory.

I live up above that there Mason-Dixon line and i got me all sorts of guns. Even voted Democrat. Hooboy.

I gunned up during the previous election. Even secured permission from my wife to use them and possibly lose me forever under certain circumstances.

I appreciate MLK's peaceful resistance, but sometimes you need to drop bodies to get them to understand.

You know you can have guns too right? You have access to the exact same stuff this entire time. You don't need to be crazy to have things and skills to keep you alive in an emergency.

They def. don't have all the guns.
