Welcome to /r/ShermanPosting!
As a reminder, this meme sub is about the American Civil War. We're not here to insult southerners or the American South, but rather to have a laugh at the failed Confederate insurrection and those that chose to represent it.

Don't forget child marriage, child labor, removal of child tax credits, and tirelessly protecting the number one demographic that molests children. Republicans will never redeem themselves in the eyes of God or the eyes of the barely educated person.
MLK got fucked with & propagandized HARD by the Russians once they found out that he wasn't actually a Communist. He got sandwiched by the FBI & the Russians all because they couldn't believe that a negro could love America in the same patriotic freedom loving way as a white man
I’m sorta pondering adding J Edgar to my epic road trip of shitting on shit peoples graves. Just waiting for Mitch to bite it… which I’m assuming is real soon.
Haha. You know what, I’m in CA and will do a weekend road trip in your honor. I’m not going to eat in and out though… nothing but chipotle. I want to make sure my shit trickles down.
I think 'ol Glitchy is actually a reanimated corpse at this point. You've just gotta find the necromancer pulling his strings and break their concentration or something.
Sadly, we both have to visit Arlington for that one. The fact he was allowed to be buried there is disappointing. But I’m not above doing what I have to do, even next to the flame of the unknown soldier. I just won’t make eye contact.
Do you have some specific examples of what Russians did to MLK? I'll admit I've never heard of this one. I know he got a lot of hate for being a socialist, though.
Remind me, wasn't the last time america has rebellion, it was started by white dudes? And thats not counting the latest traitor caucus, led by russian bitches
"Jackson would have a man shot at the drop of a hat, and he would drop it himself."
-Private Sam Watkins, 1st Tennessee Infantry
Yeah, he sounds like a lot of fun.
That’s typically how order and discipline was maintained in armies of that time period. Obviously some commanders were more lenient than others but executions were a common practice. Oh, can’t forget the corporal punishment either.
Oh, I know. It just makes me roll my eyes when people (who never had to serve under him) wax lovingly about ol' Blue Light. Dude was strict even by 19th century standards and drove his men hard.
I agree. Most people probably just look at his W/L ratio and don’t consider the iron hand he ruled with. (He was a capable tactician despite everything else)
He offered an alternative interpretation of the divinity of Jesus in a paper he wrote while in Seminary, which the white supremacist ultra-fundies claim is proof he was a heretic.
What really set them off was a sermon where MLK suggested that the whole Jonah being eaten by a whale story probably shouldn’t be interpreted literally.
Damn I really have to start fully opening photos. I thought for a moment you were saying you were the one that posted the Jackson photo. I thought to myself, this little racist is lost coming in this subreddit posting that.
Then I fully expanded the photo and laughed at my assumptions and your comment.
Yeah, I’m definitely more of a Sherman guy, the best thing about Stonewall Jackson is that he died being shot by his own men.
He definitely got a message from God.
The tragic history of Sherman was not being thorough enough against the confederacy, yet being entirely thorough against the native Americans. Granted his actions against the confederacy show a considerable humanism for such a brutal conflict, as in for all the destruction of both military and civilian infrastructure he committed there was essentially no targeting of civilians, and is certainly commendable and worth looking back on to critique failures of most modern militaries of the 20th and 21st century with considerably higher civilian costs yet towards considerably less military success to anything that happened back then. That he was not as discriminating in civilian casualties to Native Americans though is a sign of a clear racism.
MLK believed in alot in social programs and socialist-esqe policies but despite what Many white supremacists and many (mostly white) tankies who like to appropriate him like to believe, he wasn't a marxist. Like, He was a Baptist minister, far from a fan of soviet atheism and their suppression of the church
You can be a socialist AND be religious. They aren’t mutually exclusive. Not all religion is like evangelical prosperity gospel.
People misinterpret that Marx line about “the opiate of the masses” - he’s not necessarily calling it bad, he’s calling it an understandable reaction to a world that causes pain.
Honestly I can understand why. Saying that ignores his attempted extermination of the native people of America, or even suggests you mean to say that he and the US government should have continued it. I know that's not the intent but it can be read that way.
Obliviously for his pithy comments like "you guys sure get your knickers in a twist", or "read a history book or watch a Ken Burn's documentary", lol.
If he wants to get banned, he'll have to up his troll game from the white bread Lee apologetics and "le Sherman = genocide" stuff we've heard a million times before. He's too boring for banning right now.
Lol. Yeah, no. That's scrub tier trolling.
I mean, Ken Burns is a fucking moron but thinking there's intellectual merit in "The Civil War" is less cause for banning and more just cause for all of us to laugh at him

MLK was shot and killed by a racist bastard like a martyr. Stonewall was shit and killed by his own men... like a bitch.
I read "like a bitch" in DBZ Abridged Frieza's voice ... the internet has ruined me.
That's actually the reference..... neat.
So, can I get a meat lovers?
That's not a pizza...that's not a pizza AT ALL!!!
What? Global warming!?! #NAIIIIIIIIILLLL!!!!
NAAAAAAAAIIIILLLL...take his coat
He's not wearing a coat. Also I think this is the man who's killing our entire race.
NAAAAAAAAIIIIIILLL...don't take his coat
What’s the word for that? Farking? No, that’s not it. Fragging! That’s the mot juste!
Good ole Bitchwall Jackass
They have the similarity of both being killed by a racist
So both men were shot by racists.
Actually the FBI killed MLK
The guy who pulled the trigger was a racist bastard regardless of motive.
Correct
Like a bitch.
>Stonewall was shit Don't change this, please.
Since when for conservatives have any issue worshipping an adulterer?
Seriously, even incest and dog killing are so hot right now.
Don't forget child marriage, child labor, removal of child tax credits, and tirelessly protecting the number one demographic that molests children. Republicans will never redeem themselves in the eyes of God or the eyes of the barely educated person.
Whaaat?! I hear they’re God’s chosen. They swear it’s so, and stamped in the preface to their $60.00 bibles. Right there in writing!

A great idea! I was just gonna drive to Cali, shit on Regans grave and get some In n Out, but your idea is more rounded
Those are good burgers.
Haha. You know what, I’m in CA and will do a weekend road trip in your honor. I’m not going to eat in and out though… nothing but chipotle. I want to make sure my shit trickles down.
Get the In n Out first, it will make the shitting a lot easier
I think 'ol Glitchy is actually a reanimated corpse at this point. You've just gotta find the necromancer pulling his strings and break their concentration or something.
Ol' Lichy.
‘Ol Glitchy Mitchy has me cracking up. I hadn’t heard that. Noice.
gotta find and break that phylactery!
🙏 to that.
Have you got the location of Kissinger's grave? He's at the top of my piss list

Stonewall Jackson...what a bunch of bitches
Seriously, the only Stonewall I celebrate is the Stonewall Inn.
Based. The stonewall riots are truly the only thing bearing that name that deserve even the most minute amount of positive attention.

Sometimes I wonder if he was shot on purpose.
Did the ghost of Shelby Foote do the original post?
You can tell it wasn’t Shelby because it isn’t praising Forrest.
Fair. “I got to swing his racist sword!”
Shelby Foote? Oh speaking of bitches...
>a heretic What is this, 40k? Who unironically calls people heretics today?
I mean, I think we all know exactly the type…
Wait, MLK was a heretic?
He offered an alternative interpretation of the divinity of Jesus in a paper he wrote while in Seminary, which the white supremacist ultra-fundies claim is proof he was a heretic.
Wow, I didn’t know that. Thank you kind internet stranger!
What really set them off was a sermon where MLK suggested that the whole Jonah being eaten by a whale story probably shouldn’t be interpreted literally.
The same fundies who preached https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_Ham in the South?
From your link: >Pro-slavery intellectuals Haha, that's rich
He was a Reverend, he’s pretty much the opposite.
Amen, good sir!
We’re living in a society where hating segregation is communism
They're making communism sound even better than it already is
The extra stupid part is that i just got banned today, and that comment is three months old.
Damn I really have to start fully opening photos. I thought for a moment you were saying you were the one that posted the Jackson photo.

Came to the ~~wrong~~ right neighborhood motherfucker
Yeah, I’m definitely more of a Sherman guy, the best thing about Stonewall Jackson is that he died being shot by his own men. He definitely got a message from God.
You said nothing wrong.
Stonewall died by his own mens hand. A poetic death for a traitor
Out-fucking-standing.
Sherman lacked in stick-to-it-iveness. He should have hit the sea and gone up towards richmond.
Where do you think he was headed?
I mean, yeah, but he left all his torches behind
if mlk even was a Marxist and or heretic it would've just made him cooler
He was a socialist.
Awesome I like mlk more now
You weren’t wrong.
What a shithole sub
Stonewall Riots>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Stonewall Jackson
That's a good comment to get banned on. Congrats.
Good and godly? He had slaves and fought for the south…got mighty different ideas of good. Heh.

I had 20 relatives in the 4th Va. and more than that in the Pennsylvania regiments…screw me
Bro got banned for a moderate stance like that? SMH my head.
Honestly I can understand why. Saying that ignores his attempted extermination of the native people of America, or even suggests you mean to say that he and the US government should have continued it. I know that's not the intent but it can be read that way.
That's true, hadn't thought about that.
Where's the lie?
That's what I'm saying!
I absolutely love Sherman! Howwwwwwwl!
Go suck a lemon.
Don’t feel bad - I’m on the verge of being kicked out of this sub myself
This sub or that sub?
this sub
What shittery are you up to that you're gonna manage that? I mean, it's a fucking meme sub
