    Lightbulb #Noconfederate losers

    So my problem here is that no jews got mad when Amazon made the tv show "The Man in the High Castle", and now HBO is making a historical twist of a show and all the libs and blacks are ragging upside down. I really cant stand these people anymore who protest over shit that people have a right to do in this free country. Where is the line? Do people really believe that America was built too long ago and needs more socialism?

    I understand the American Civil war more than most people, I have read books, watched documentaries, taken a few college courses on the time period, and I always keep looking for new stuff because Im interested in our COMMON HISTORY as Americans. So why shit on one of the FEW tv shows/movies about such a titanic struggle? Look up how many WW2 movies there are and tell me why nobody rages over that horrific history. I personally think it is democrats who dont want that masses to understand that it was the democratic party in the south who held slaves, I also think the black people today, who burn down a mcdonalds because a police officer shot an attacking black male, cannot handle a product that doesnt put them in a spotlight or make their current agendas successful.
    If this Confederate show was instead, a alternate universe where Nat Turner was successful in killing all the whites he could and prematurely ending the rebellion after slaughtering all the south, the libs, dems, blacks, and all other sensitives would be lining up to watch with tears of joy. just sayin.

    Amazon has a tv show with two seasons about the nazis winning ww2 and killing jews, disabled people, and anyone who isnt supporting nazism well into the 1960's. Plus in the show Japan owns half the US and kills civilians all day on top of treating all Americans who are left like cockroaches. Yet no group of jews, disabled, or anyone is outraged by the tv show. And the thing is, its a really good show.

    Apparently the hashtag came from April Reign, who was also who jumpstarted the #Oscarssowhite hashtag. According to her own website:
    April Reign is an influential and sought-after media presence, having built an organic following of over 100,000 worldwide.

    Reign travels the country speaking at academic institutions and consulting with organizations, networks, and studios regarding issues of diversity and inclusion.

    For media appearances, articles, or to book April for your event, please fill out the following request form.
    I have to admit, she's a gifted self-promoter and has been pretty clever in monetizing the diversity grift.

    The show has at least 2 black writers.

    It's not real.

    IT'S NOT REAL.

    IT'S A FICTIONAL SHOW.

    I checked the hashtag and most of it is just unrelated complaining about historical shit that has nothing to do with the actual show. I don't personally care about the show either way, and won't even watch it even if its made, but I hope HBO learns not to kowtow to these retards. But who knows.

    That being said, I think my dislike of SJWs has been overtaken by my dislike of anti-SJWs whining about SJWs. Both groups are completely fucking insufferable and I wish they'd all jump off a cliff.

    I support this, can't boycott, because I never supported HBO in the first place, kind of falls under one of those is this really even a threat, I even seen someone say well don't cancel HBO because of some other show with black people on it.

    Day by day we veer closer to the public at large seeing these 'campaigns' for the worthless attention seeking narratives they are.

    Your wish is for both groups to jump off a cliff....I wonder how many humans would be left on earth with you if that actually happened. From my pov, you seem like your saying that we should all just keep our heads down and leave eachother alone? am i right?

    Most people don't fall into either group.

    My point is that Horseshoe Theory is shown completely to be true with these two groups. They act exactly like each other. Anti-SJWs originally were fairly skeptical and nonpartisan but ultimately devolved into mostly far-right reactionaries who act exactly like SJWs from the other side of the political coin.

    There are reactionary children who take offense at everything, almost always on behalf of others, and they should be ignored and not given a seat at any creative or decision-making table.

    There are also now reactionary children who pretend that being cunts in real life and shitting all over people "for the lulz" means they're actually making a political statement when in reality they're just assholes that nobody outside of their bubble actually like and see them for the petty children they are.

    They are both equally terrible in their own ways, and both sides believe they have the righteousness behind their opposition to the other. When in reality they're just shitting all over the metaphorical floor of life and I wish they would all just die off already. Ideologically, of course.

    So the part the OP isn't getting in that slavery actually did happen. The complaint against the show is that putting very bitter memories out in the open into a modern world that has quite a bit of racism still around (and, if you don't think racism is alive and well against African Americans, you are hopelessly naive).

    Good twitter thread on the subject - https://twitter.com/cmclymer/status/891875932432158720

    The comparison to the "The Man in the High Castle" is false equivalency. While there is oppression against Jews in the series, a) it isn't the fundamental premise of the series, and b) the series doesn't push hard on the really bad elements (e.g. extermination camps).

    Not a single African American alive was a slave. You can talk about memories of their ancestors, but to make this ridiculous, ridiculous argument that this dude is making, as if they are 'dredging up painful memories' is a fucking joke. They don't have those memories because they were never slaves.

    Oh and also fuck this, "fellow white people" horse shit. I don't have to answer for anybody else of my race. Nor would I demand the same from any other race. Everything about this person linked seems like the most stereotypical "liberal" that conservatives rail on and on about. Like they took every stereotype and 3D printed out a human being.

    The show is fantasy. It's not real. Don't like the subject? Don't watch it.

    The end.

    The thing about the Man in the High Castle was that it didn't project the Nazi's and Japanese as good. It was not sympathetic to their cause. I can imagine this Confederate show is not going to be sympathetic to slave owners so I do not have a problem with them creating a show like this. HBO being pretty liberal is not going to be involved in creating a show that puts a positive spin on the confederacy and slave owners.

    Its funny people dont like it yet their was a popular book about a bunch of African Dutchman(boar) creating a time machine and giving technology to the south in order for the south to succeed. Nobody had a problem with the book. A tv show based of a hypothetical scenario gets shutdown for displaying it. While granted I dont know much about the tv show its because I do not have the HBO packet. If this was a wolfeinstein series people would be praising it in before the neo Nazi and the overall sensitive alt right complain about being aimed at them.
    It shows me hypocrisy at its best.

    I'm going to link Thomas Smith rather than putting spoilers here, but I think his Season 2 arc would qualify as "really bad elements".

    I also don't really know how anyone that's watched the show could say that extermination of Jews isn't really a big part of the show. This is a central part of Frank's life throughout the show and his family is murdered for their Jewishness.

    So how am I not getting in that slavery actually happened? Anyone past the 2nd grade should understand that slavery happened. Anyone who ever learned anything about the civil war knows about slavery. And quite frankly most idiots believe that slavery was the whole reason the war was fought. I sware people like you read a title and just comment your own fantasies.

    And a false equivalency is pretty hilarious. Nobody could even know that this upcoming show is going to be centered around slavery and harshness. Its called confederate and in a alternate timeline where the south won the war, I expect slavery to be in the show, just as nazis exterminate jews in the man in the high castle, but i highly doubt the show will "push hard on the really bad elements" - you may even learn something if you watch it and realize it wasnt all about slavery

    The level of overestimation of racism against minorities in America makes it a delight to read posts like this.

    Starting off a thread by calling the people with opposing views "losers" is never going to produce any civil discussion. Closing this.
