At the NRA Conference, we asked a guy in confederate flag shirt if he was pro or anti-slavery.

1. I saw this yesterday

And I believe it is less about his position on slavery, which is god knows what, and more that he does not want to openly oppose slavery because he knows Trump and the Maga movement wants to own Black people again.

And he does not want to oppose them.

2. Well, you know, you're either for them or against them.

Racism is as racism does, Mama always used to say.

3. Oh, the cognitive dissonance

Oh, so sad is the life of one living, trapped in the cognitive-dissonance-delusion that must exist in those who, for the sake of a self-identity, deny any awareness of right and wrong, selfishness and sanity, commandments, God and one's own Mom*.

This is mental-imbalance manifest in elevating the wardrobe of many colors** above the wearer of the wrappers.
So many self-help books on the shelves show that so many are unhappy in their selves and seek succor. Can't help the self if you do not know what the self is.

* I will use this word as a simple stand-in for 'having learned any sense of self-morality' as opposed to self-mortality.
** body, gender, nationality, state, ethnicity, religion, employment, age, status, hobbies, desires, confusions, illusions- all the possible answers to the question, "Who are you?"

4. He only says no comment because he doesn't want to get fired for saying what would like to say.

Of course he wants to bring back slavery.

All of the confederate flag humpers do.
