Man, people talk about the oddness of rural white northerners adopting Confederate iconography, but until four years ago I don’t remember seeing even dyed-in-the-wool old stock northerners pulling the bloody shirtiness that social media Yankees do these days, it’s weird.

‘course I’m mostly remembering the '90s, where moral statesmanship was taking lessons from Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Ireland, idea being that relitigating centuries-old wars, running down the flags, honored ancestors, and national identity of one section of the citizenry was Actually Bad.
