The conclusion is correct (don’t glorify the Confederacy) but the argument is really shit tier. Neil Armstrong spent just 22 hours on the surface of the moon, which is about 16% of the total running time of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which proves… I’m not sure what. “hurr durr you’re comparing the moon landing to the confederacy” no I’m saying the length of time that a thing spanned is not a good indicator for the historical importance of that thing.
Is it too much to ask to have a joke also make sense if you think about it more than a second? Surely we can poke fun at the Confederacy for example without being so fallacious

It’s not a sincere argument. It’s a joke. And it’s probably best not to overthink a light joke mocking the confederacy.

It’s just a joke
