  • I don’t know about this `racists who fought a war over owning slaves “had a sense of shame” and “didn’t want to be remembered for their part in the most destructive and pointless war” take.

    When they eventually did build statues, they imported them from the north. They didn’t build them in their lifetime because it wasn’t a popular thing to do, and as such they literally didn’t have the skills or foundries to make them. Not to mention they were actually fighting a war, not sitting in their bunkers ordering air strikes.


  • You only accept money in return for goods? You don’t labor?

    Weird flex, or you’re just not thinking this through, even though I spelt out a few different scenarios.

    Put yourself in the shoes of an average person. You go to a gas station and pay cash, your change is $1.23 and they give you a Trump coin and tell you that’s all in the register, what do you? You let the company keep your change? You take it and drive to a bank to exchange it?

    You buy a water from a vending machine on a hot day, you put in a $5 bill and the machine gives you a couple Trump coins back, you throw them away? You give them back to the machine?

    You may be able to avoid it, I don’t ever use USD cash, I’ll be able to avoid it, but the general public will be using it. If it proves unpopular like the 150 year anniversary coin that similarly carried a portrait of the sitting president, it’ll be removed from circulation and actually become a collectable that some moron will pay thousands for. If not, it’ll be used like any other coin.

    It’s already in circulation, arguing with facts because you don’t like them is dumb, just as dumb as someone suggesting they’ll destroy their own money “on principal”. This is burning your own shoes or destroying your own beer level stupid, since you like referencing dumb conservatives.








  • And if that’s all they have, you’ll still refuse it? If a machine gives it to you, you’ll throw it away? You’ll go to a bank and wait in line to exchange it with a bill?

    I get where you’re coming from, it’s disgusting, you may be able to personally avoid it, but it’s going into circulation and the general public will use it, and simply refusing it isn’t an option or a stupid costly one for a lot of people.
