To you that may be true. But your personal opinion is not universal.

The smart move is to stay the hell away from any perceived adoption of a political position.

Mt Olive made it a political position and will very likely be Bud Lighted for their poor decision.

Typical of right wing cancel culture.

Right wingers complain whenever anyone aligns with what they decide is "left wing," and argue that they should stay out of politics.

But when someone tries to stay out of politics by not aligning with what is perceived by many as a "right wing" thing, right wingers want them cancelled.

It isn't about participation. Right wingers simply demand that everyone support their causes, or be cancelled.

At least you admit celebrating our nation and presenting history (good and bad) is a right wing thing.

Why on Earth would anyone think a Confederate Flag is "right wing"?

Wasn't it the historically left wing party who flew them while fighting to save their traditional source of labor?

Considering this, cheers to this pickle company for rejecting ideas and stances from the Democratic party.

A poor choice imo, I mean, they not only fought against America but urged foreign powers, especially England, to join them in war.

I believe they did what they felt was correct.

What a stupid take. Me not buying poor quality pickles is in no way equivalent to insisting that they be removed from shelves. If you want 'em, buy 'em. A more intelligent person wouldn't need that glaring difference pointed out to them.

Which side invaded the other by posting their ships on the coast and creating a blockade? I’ll wait for your answer.

I love how everyone is just assuming it was some historically accurate video referencing the Confederacy.

It wasn't. As shown in the video link, It was a weird error, and no one is stepping up to claim responsibility.

Spectrum News story

It wasn't even a video. There were multiple video boards displaying the North Carolina state flag. The Flag then morphed into something that looked like the old Georgia state flag: The State seal on the left side of the flag, and the Rebel battle flag on the right side.

This has never been the official NC State flag, but I dont know enough about NC history to know if something like it was ever used. But there was no reason for the video boards to display it.

The graphic has been removed, and Im sure we will hear more about it.

Now, is this something so terrible that Mt. Olive needs to take their pickle jars and go home? Probably not. Plus, MT. Oliver is bringing attention to the incident, which could have been quietly cleaned up.

Or...maybe the were getting pressure on social media?

To be fair, the news article didn't really flesh that out.

Now, if it was an error or prank that is now rectified... MtOlive is still the babyback bitch in this story.

True, so many people are ignorant to the true history they don’t even know the national flag.
