See I like Spencer Reid, but nsm MGG. MGG is super attractive physically, but after following him on social media I don't find him attractive anymore.

Add me to the list of people who've gotten roped into Confederate flag debates.

Now that Mayor Landrieu has started talking about taking down the statues of Lee and Davis, Facebook has exploded exponentially for me.

Yeah, the latest thing was someone asking me if I also supported that. I said yes, and he accused me of wanting to destroy all history.

I am going through and hiding posts like crazy. And unfollowing.

History is often times ugly. Statues of people who advocated and fought FOR owning other humans? Pretty damn ugly. Hitler built nice roads. I am sure Pol Pot could dance nice or something. Go advocate for their statues. Stupid people are stupid.

I was quite dismayed to realize Hitler had quite a nice speaking voice. All the footage I'd ever seen had been him ranting at the climax of the rallies. But it's not something you can easily say to people.

"Hitler built nice roads" - is my go to "shut up defending that" or "me criticizing this thing does not mean it has no redeeming qualities, stop being an absolutist".
"I want to be taller" is my go to "you can't always get what you want".
Both generally either annoy people into leaving me alone or shut them up.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I've completely disengaged. Between the rampant racism and defense of a flag they never fought for in southcentral PA--WHICH WAS PART OF THE UNION if you didn't pick up on that earlier--and the victim-shaming in a local DV case which was supposed to be a double murder-suicide, but the estranged wife has survived so far, I've lost my faith in humanity. The batshit crazy husband and a male friend didn't. If I try and engage, I am called a libtard, Obama-lover, a kid (when I pointed out that was a fantastic compliment since I'm 41, she responded that I have a childlike mind instead). It raises my blood pressure, stresses me out, and makes me angry. I have to gird my loins to do battle. Right now, I'm battle-weary.

A lot of people near the Mason-Dixon Line have/had cloudy allegiances. Over in the southwestern corner, where I'm from, the big thing was to tell the Union recruiters that they'd come too far south and were in Virginia, then tell the Southern recruiters that they were in Pennsylvania. Hard to track a border through the Appalachian woods.
I'm fairly relieved my MIL is no longer here, she would actually argue The War Between the States. She was dismayed that her son married a northerner. She was from the deep-Dixie state of West Virginia and actually grew up about 20 miles from where I was born (in abovestated Pennsylvania), so I don't know how she justified her proud Southern heritage.
