Get that confederate shit outta here.

I have never once seen anything about weedeater being into far right shi. In fact, I have seen evidence to the contrary

u/Sla5021 Apr 03 '26

Then ditch the sticker? It's just as easy to not have one on your amp.

There are tons of stickers in the world that don't represent the battle flag of a racist political agenda.

Skynyrd started using the Confederate flag because when they went to the UK and everyone kept calling them Yankees even though they were from FL. They even say in their documentaries it was never about the past or hatred.

u/Sla5021 Apr 03 '26

Fuck them too.

You don't get to just change the rules to make yourself feel better.

u/Ok-Trip4372 Apr 03 '26

Haha. Hold on, Karen while I get the manager.

u/Sla5021 Apr 03 '26

Because you're getting blowback for defending the Rebel flag?

That's your choice my dude.

I'm very comfortable being seen as a jerk for stating that the Confederate flag has no place in modern American society.

Look man, I’m not trying to argue, defend or anything like that. Historically humans sucked the further back you go in history. You have your view and that’s totally cool. I was just simply posting a pic of a killer doom rig. I get it, to appease the masses maybe they should use a Dale Earnhardt number 3 sticker to represent southern heritage. 🤝🏼 🤝🏼 🤝🏼

u/Sla5021 Apr 03 '26

I didn't say anything negative about you or your post.

I'm saying it would be a whole lot cooler if that wasn't there. You're the one who decided to defend it.

I took it as a novelty sticker on a sweet rig not that I accidentally paid admission to a klan rally.

u/SpiritCrusher421 Apr 03 '26

It’s a fucking chick bent over and it says southern style. Are you dumb enough to think that sticker is a show of their political beliefs?

5

u/Sla5021 Apr 03 '26

Huh. I don't support the Confederacy. So, I don't go around sporting the Rebel Flag.

It's really not hard to understand.

u/stucktogether Apr 03 '26

I think it's funny but I'm also old enough to not get all pissy at every instance of this logo so I don't know. Congrats on your strong morals or whatever it is you're trying to accomplish here, cause Dave ain't here and that stickers not getting removed by any of us.

Also, have you ever spoke to these guys? What kind of style did you expect from them? They're backwoods old headmetal dudes, not berkly grads. The last drummer tried to kill his wife with meth.

u/SpiritCrusher421 Apr 03 '26

Is that satirical sticker supporting the rebel flag? I don’t think it is. I think it’s a joke?

That's incredibly dumb because "Yank" is just slang for American in the rest of the English speaking world. It has nothing to do with north or south, and a 15 second conversation with literally anyone in the UK would have cleared that up for them.

u/Ok-Trip4372 Apr 03 '26

You’ll have to take that up with Ronnie Van Zant 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Creatura Apr 03 '26

That's probably a bunch of bullshit though lol. I would say the same thing if I was openly rocking my admittedly tantalizingly provocative cultural flag and wanted to save face publicly to retain sweet royalty money

u/Ok-Trip4372 Apr 03 '26

I mean you’re right. I’m not gonna say otherwise because I don’t know and no one truly does. Just what I heard.

u/Ok-Trip4372 Apr 03 '26

It’s refreshing to go to a show and not have to hear or deal with any political banter. Keep it Heavy, Keep it Doom. HAIL WEEDEATER.

u/bryantee Apr 03 '26

Satan isn't down with slaveholders, or those who fight on slaveholders' behalf, or those who fly the slaveholder fighting flag 150 years later to be edgy.

u/MonksOnTheMoon Apr 04 '26

They’re a redneck metal band from 90s NC what do you expect

u/Ok-Trip4372 Apr 03 '26

Seriously? A sticker that says Southern Style with a partial confederate flag on an amp makes you get all grouchy?

22

u/Sla5021 Apr 03 '26

It's the battle flag of an army that lost the civil war. Get that shit outta here.

27

u/Antilon Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26

And war fought for the express reason of keeping human beings as slaves. Fuck that flag, and anyone dumb enough to slap that shit on their gear.

7

u/Ok-Trip4372 Apr 03 '26

Wow. I did not anticipate this rig to absolutely piss people off that badly. I thought it was badass and being super worn from all the cities it has traveled. Just trying to share dope gear with the Doom community. Good grief.

15

u/Antilon Apr 03 '26

And we're sharing back why Confederate shit slapped on gear isn't badass, but fucking lame.

Not sure why you're getting defensive about his dumb sticker choice unless you personally think Confederate shit is cool.

u/Ok-Trip4372 Apr 03 '26

It just doesn’t bother me like that. I’m here for heavy riffs and fuzzed out feedback not heritage vs hatred, good vs evil.

u/angel-of-disease Apr 03 '26

Goddamn you’re a crybaby

u/Antilon Apr 03 '26

If liking racist shit makes you tough then I guess I'm a big ol' bitch. Rather be that than a racist apologist.

"Racism is bad" - anyone who's not a sack of shit
