Comment on William Sherman is not a hero or an icon to be admired
southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago I still don’t think that hating a general that would destroy civilian infrastructure and lives is a racist thing.
Defeating the Confederacy wasn’t a one man project. Other generals did their part, without the brutality or wanton destruction. Dude committed a war crime, by modern standards. It’s perfectly reasonable to hate him as much as it is to hate Rommel, or Hannibal.

Fair point. I did, however, specify what group I was talking about, and while there are definitely some woke racists out there, gonna say they’re not gonna be people I’d associate with regardless.
