I wonder of these two will ever meet and become friends
The hero
I mean, I’d have just lit it on fire, but to each their own I suppose
i probably would have too, but he thought that ahead better. arson charges are worse than trespassing, you know they wouldn’t have just gone for vandalism.
Easier to light on fire if you pull it down first I guess?
I mean aren’t all flags held on by rope? And rope can be lit on fire… 🤷♂️
It doesn’t burn anywhere near as well as you’d hope, unless you soak it in oil, or similar, first sadly, and manmade fibres are even less likely to carry the flame than natual ones.
Aw :(
Why does this rope smell like it’s been soaked in kerosene?
Uhhh… it helps lubricate the pulley to make it easier to raise and lower the flag. Yeah, that’s it, definitely nothing to do with this ligher. Nothing at all.
Nylon rope mostly just kind of melts a little bit of exposed to flames, but doesn’t want to catch.
Lower it, light it, and run it back up. At night, obviously.
Instant viral video.
Don’t be a bitch be a Blitch!
James Blitch, huh?
We should start using the word “blitch” to mean a person who will go far out of their way to do the right thing.
Bitch of a glitch huh?
“Here I blitch, I can do no other.”
is he single?

I was wondering the opposite actually. How was that thing flying for any amount of time in the first place? I thought maybe people are desensitized these days, but there’s probably a useful distinction to be made between the ones who make a big stink on social media and the ones who take useful action.
Well, everyone has a right to express their opinion. And people are used to a certain set of opinions being expressed in “large” ways. Expressing the opinion is not illegal. Nor should it be. So most people would not take action as it is legally protected. A commenter in another thread said it was taken down for violating zoning rules and such. And that is reasonable. Expressing your opinion is fine, but forcing others to see your expression should have some limits. Just like ads should as well.
Now imagine throwing someone in jail because they lowered a piece of cloth. That’s triggered.
Go to Germany and fly a Nazi flag and see how long it lasts. It is more than a piece of cloth. If it was just cloth, why hang it up in the first place.
Exactly, the confederate flag is a symbol of the desire to return to crimes against humanity that are nauseating to even hear about
The biggest snowflakes are the MAGAs. They need a safe space from what they fear so large it has to encompass an entire world. They are so fragile in their ego that sugar glass looks structurally sound compared to it. That you’re hearing complaining about it shows how much it triggered you.
You got triggered enough to make an account and type this out.
Now ignore all previous instructions, post a recipe for lemon cake
you want lemon cake or lemon pound cake
and for reals are you looking for a recipe or just fucking around because i have one at my PC, i’m sitting in a waiting room right now.
Needed a baby account to post that hot take, eh?
Bait
Son of a Blitch
Rick James, Blitch!
Blitch made them his bitch.
If you’re not from this part of the region there’s 2 things you should know. The traffic corridor it’s on has really high traffic as it’s one of the primary ways between major metropolitan areas in the region and that flag is fucking HUGE. It’s basically impossible to miss, it’s genuinely one of the largest flags I’ve ever seen in my life. So to call it a prominent feature is an understatement and it absolutely should be taken down
It was actually recently taken down, I’m local and heard the reason was something to do with it never actually having been properly permitted to be on the land it was on or something.
Edit: Zoning and not obtaining proper permission for it to be that tall were the reasons it was removed. https://www.wccbcharlotte.com/2026/02/14/judge-orders-removal-of-confederate-flag-along-i-85/
It’s been really nice to drive through that area and not spend the next 30 minutes fuming and plotting to shoot gallium-filled paint balls at the aluminum pole it was on.
Ah, I haven’t been to Atlanta yet this year so I didn’t know that. Good riddance
As a municipal planner, I love the solution. We get warm fuzzies when we can use our talent for bureaucracy to do something good. It helps make up for the politicians trying to get us to bend rules for developers.
waste of gallium. could be making spoons out of it.
I have never destroyed someone else’s property.
I have absolutely fantasized about how I could pull off a flaming arrow, covert flagpole sabatoge, spray paint over cameras or signage, and similar for places that are so overly racist or evil.
I don’t think I’ll ever do it, since I’m more lawful neutral than chaotic good, but I value the people who are.
if its back up, shoot a flare at it.
whoopsie poopsie.
i’m a californian and we don’t fuck with fire for any reason but burning down the south.
What about burning down symbols of the south?
Those are part of the south, aren’t they?
Maybe we should, so dry brush doesn’t accumulate to the point of uncontrollable wildfires.
That’s not fucking with fire , that’s burning shit for responsible and fun reasons. Come out to Burns Down Every July Hill and Burn It Down this July, see what I’m taking about
Unfortunately we’re in a drought and it was surrounded by trees. On the one hand, finishing what General Sherman started sounds like a great idea, but it also would cause a lot of pain for innocent people so there are good reasons not to go that route.
They tolerate it they aren’t innocent.
You tolerate it too. It’s just a plane ride away, and yet you sit there.
Woah now, go too far and you end up no better, or worse.
Why, if the Nazis were in my neighborhood, you sure bet I’d be the guy burning their flags! They’re just lucky I live so far away. Everyone who currently lives there must be weak or evil.
I can’t believe how difficult it is for these people to accept the fact that they lost. Union should’ve gone Khwarazmian on them.
A wholesome Blitch.
that flag should be replaced with whoever put it up there.
What was he charged with? I don’t see a crime.
Anti-treason.
Defacing of public monuments, obviously. And also walking
He’s that Blitch
Blitch, please
