The pic of Bernie on his hardhat really makes it, I think
I am confused. It's photoshopped, but I don't know the significance or why. (The pic I attached here has been jpg'd much more, so I suspect it's the fake.)
Is it AI enhanced? Just looks crisper and with a similar but clearly different dude on it
Shadows look better in the OP.
Wonder if that construction worker just wanted some limelight and they figured they were only a Photoshop away.
Jackson had the good fortune to be killed early on. He'd have shown himself to be another incompetent confederate had he gotten the chance.
Jackson I actually have a strange kind of (limited) respect for. On one hand, absolutely, he was a traitor serving one of the most abominable causes known to man. On the other hand, of all the traitors, him and Longstreet are the only ones with any sort of competence or humanity in them.
Jackson was a religious fanatic, but to the point of breaking law and custom to teach slaves how to read, and was never a major supporter of slavery himself.
He also was a legitimately daring cavalry commander.Ignore this, I made a dumb mistake.Tear his statues down, certainly. No traitor nor supporter of that abominable cause ought to be honored. But I'll freely admit he's not as bad as his fellow traitors.
Fuck Jackson with a pole. Still have to admire his fucking guile and bravado. What he did to my blood and our nation is unforgivable and he his ideals can rot in hell for all I care. Still he was a warrior that faced their enemy in arms so I give them acknowledgment.
I was really hoping this was going to be a meme about Ramesis III tearing down statues of those failed Shekelesh snowflakes.
ancientinternet is leaking
Is that a statue of Sherman?
It's Stonewall Jackson
I’m no expert on Civil War figures, but the guy in the statue has a different hairline than every picture of Sherman that I’ve ever seen. Statue guy has the widow’s peak/M-shape, but Sherman was never painted or photographed with a pronounced widow’s peak or receding hair on the edges like that.
Every so often I see the true power of the internet happening right in front of me and I am awed. Given the oddities of humanity, I would be not surprised at someone being an expert on civil war figures, or even civil war hairlines, but here I am and I just found the world's expert on Sherman's hair line... Just Sherman.
Fucking amazing.
