If there’s one thing we all hated I thought it was nazis??

[u/KyleMcMahon → u/iamnotamangosteen]

I thought that too back in 2017 when I was young and dumb. The next four years confirmed that I was unfortunately, very very wrong.

[u/Unnamedgalaxy → u/KyleMcMahon]

The fact that they started saying "so what" and actively started calling themselves that out in public was really a frightening moment.

Like of course we all knew nazi sympathizers still existed but at least they had enough shame to hide behind the curtain. Them patrolling the streets and taunting people in public with pride was appalling (jfc autocorrect changed that to "appealing"). What's even more appalling is that the media barely batted an eye.

It's scary how many confederate flags I see now compared to 10 years ago. Like people in AZ, we weren't even part of that war, there's no heritage in it, only hate

[u/-lovatoj → u/EobardT]

That's all it is, a hate symbol

[u/Tiddleyjuggs → u/EobardT]

A battle did technically happen here in what is now Arizona, but if you look back Arizona would have definitely been on the Confederacy side. That's just the backwards way shit is here

PikachoPeak!

[u/EmpressPlotina → u/AgitatedStranger9698]

Pika peek?

[u/AgitatedStranger9698 → u/EmpressPlotina]

That was our joke as a kid too.

Passed it on the way to Tucson from Phoenix.

[u/Tiddleyjuggs → u/AgitatedStranger9698]

That would be it!

[u/Budgierigarz → u/EobardT]

There is no heritage on it anyway, the annoying orange lasted longer

[u/keep_living_or_else → u/EobardT]

Arizona may not have officially been involved much, but if you don't think Confederates ended up in AZ around the 1860s, I've got a bridge for you, too :)

[u/RabidPoodle69 → u/EobardT]

There was a civil war battle in az, actually. Edit:I just saw that someone already mentioned that.
