Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

RULES

  1. No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Lemmy.world rules

I'm a little lost on this one. So I tank pretty hard & the US has always been an imperialist state - but there really isn't anything more proletarian than killing slavers. I don't get why you think Tankies would support the confederacy.

The US was not the global hegemon it is now either, it was an imperialist state sure, but not nearly on the same level... This seems like one hell of a reach; unless you just make up your own definition of Tankie.
