    You, like anyone else, is encouraged and welcomed to participate. Don't get your panties in a wad, though, if you get piled up on. This IS Gunenet, after all!

    Oh, Funky... I can understand wanting to rebel against the central government.

    Indeed, I can really sympathize with some of these "secessionist" movements, like the Free State Project in New Hampshire.

    But why the Old Confederacy? I mean, other than the whole "root for your local team" phenomenon that fuels sports fans everywhere, that whole "southern pride" thing, what's the point in throwing in on a team that got their collective asses kicked over 150 years ago now?

    Why not rally behind a new movement? A new rallying-cry for states' rights?

    This whole trying to whitewash that period of American history really does just come across as "sore loser syndrome" so often, when folks really ought to be looking towards the future, and building new movements, not reminiscing of things past... I don't know.

    I guess I just never saw the intrigue in rallying behind a losing side's flag. You'd think people would want to be part of a winning movement, a winning team. Not something pretty much universally recognized as having been rebuked so many years ago...

    The attacks on these monuments have nothing to do with the Civil War or U.S. history. Rather these attacks are all part of the on-going attack by the left on "the white man" and to the left the monuments represent the white man in general rather than representing the slave owning/supporting white man.

    To restate the point I am trying to make, the Confederate flag, Confederate monuments, etc. are seen by the left as symbols of the white race disregarding the fact the white people in the Union Army died to end slavery.

    With respect to white power/white rights you are 100% correct. White power proponents who express a love of the Nazi party, the Confederacy, and the leaders and symbols of these failed movements are a prime example of why current attempts to generate white power movements are doomed to failure. What is needed is forward thinking movements that fight for white rights and white survival and not backward thinking.

    You are 100% correct. I'm all for "white power / white rights" (at least in the sense that I don't want to be blamed for everything just because I'm white).

    But, when these pro-white movements align themselves with nazism, they throw away ANY credibility that they could have had.

    I don't even understand it. What does "nazism" have to do with "White pride"?

    The left wants you to be trained to run in fear from people with rebel flags or sympathy for the goals of the NAZIs because they know if you read about those things objectively you'll no longer be impotent to stop the left. They want you to be so trained to demonize the KKK, Hitler, and Pinochet as a white man that you'll never consider using force to stop the leftist threat to our race and civilization.

    If white boys in America grew up reading about Nathan Bedford Forrest, the general elections would look like Republican primaries.

    The only thing I want the left to see is the ocean rushing upwards to meet them at high velocity after they get dropped from a helicopter.

    It's a symbol to represent my ethnicity and attitudes towards DC.

    Why would I want to glorify winners who won because of imperialism and spent the next 150 years wrecking my native homeland for whites and blacks alike?

    I would be happy to see most of them in reeducation camps performing hard labor with a minimum food ration - e.g., a daily fare consisting of one bowl of fish head and rice soup. If possible, the reeducation should take place someplace with a harsh climate.

    Cabbage and rotten cucumber like their favorite place north Korea. They would appreciate the commie style better I think.
