And how are the calls for taking down the Confederate Flag evidence of nefarious group-think? IT's a symbol of treason and racism, not to mention the flag of the side that lost.


So when are you folks going to demand that the Quebeckers haul down their flag? Isn't it a symbol of treason and bigotry, not to mention the flag of the side that lost?

Nope on more than one count:

1) The British conquered Quebec from France in 1759, which is the only armed conflict that's ever occurred involving Quebec. It's wasn't treason for the then citizens of France to fight for France and English conquest.

2) During that conflict, the flag of Quebec (which was actually called New France at the time) was flag of France. The current Quebec flag is a provincial flag, first flown in 1948.

It's the same fleur de lis as the pre-revolution French flag. Just the same as some states have the CSA Battle Flag incorporated into their current flag.

Isn't Quebec then flying a banner of rebellion against Canada? Because that's the logic against the Southern states right now.

Yep, because offending the delicate sensibilities of some black people is far worse than beheading gays and Christians.

the companies have fallen into a cultural trap yet again. should never have involved themselves.

figured they'd get some social justice points i guess. should focus on their own practices of modern slavery.

you want a rebel flag? because this is how you get a rebel flag...


Speaking of iconic imagery - where's your avatar lately?

trying to tell myself i'm not focused on this site enough to bother with one.

really hot outside lately though so here i am i guess. i'm weak.


If I may suggest an idea this is the symbol for public domain works - it's sort of the anti-copyright:
