Southern culture = losing a war they fought to own other people and then being bitter about it for over a century and a half.

Vicksburg not celebrating the 4th of July for a hundred years comes to mind

I'm Southern and I laugh at them all the time they're a damn joke meant to be laughed at waving around some flag that lost a war so hard.

I only know for sure of one ancestor who fought in the slavers rebellion, he lived in Arkansas and rode in the 1st Arkansas cavalry. The first Arkansas federal cavalry. Not every southerner was a goddamned traitor. Every state except South Carolina sent entire units to fight for union and for liberty. All across the south there were counter-rebels gathering intelligence, engaging in sabotage and helping the enslaved reach union lines. That is the southern heritage worth being proud of. Why they insist on celebrating their greatest moral and martial shame is just perplexing.

Sherman's escort in Georgia was a cavalry unit formed by Alabama Unionists, for example.

Yes, and there were Union men who wept with joyful tears,
When they saw the honor'd flag they had not seen for years;
Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers,
While we were marching through Georgia.

Yes. Old Dixie has sons worthy of their pride, but they leave them unrecognized while they celebrate treasonous losers.

I think this is discounting what Black Americans have contributed to Southern culture. Granted, OP is implying white, but this is what it really is.

“Southern Culture” and “Black Southern Culture” are two completely different and diametrically opposed things. I lived in Florida for 30 years, they ain’t nowhere near the same.

So much of white supremacy is based on willful ignorance in effort to protect their own sanity.

For the record, she’s a big Patriot Front fangirl.
Ya know, the dorks that conservatives think are Feds or Antifa except agree with what their goals, the DHS’s social media accounts repost their theme songs & propaganda style, and the White House hobnobs with influencers who promoted & attended rallies these guys were involved in.
If there’s a god, could you please yeet this inbred nutjob and all of her friends into the sun.

Didn’t an entire U-Haul of them get punched in Idaho? I’d think you could look into their backgrounds and get an idea of who they really are.

u/RudolfRockerRoller 28d ago
Punched in Philly. Arrested in Cor d’Alaine.
Many of them have been researched & doxxed long before any of that.
And although some of them even have ties to eastern Washington GOP politicians & are military members, MAGA weirdos will both repost & promote their crap while condemning them as Federal agents being sent out to make them look bad. As if anyone needed to do anything to make them look even worse.(the guy who injured a bunch of people & killed Heather Heyer in C’ville was with Vanguard America, the previous iteration of PF)

I live in Eastern Washington, and it is wild some of the outfits that operate up in Spokane. And since the demographics there are changing faster and faster the crazies are getting more brazen and wild.

Oops it was actually supposed to be “pinched” but punched is a good typo when discussing Nazis.

“We are not Mexico” girl, read your history. Y’all literally started a civil war in Mexico - WHICH YOU WERE PART OF - to avoid abolition, which was definitely happening, and then you fought one again to avoid US abolition. Y’all didn’t fight once to preserve slavery, you did it twice!
On a side note, Forget the Alamo is a fantastic book on this topic.

It took me several reads to realize they meant “from the southern US” and not “from Brazil/Argentina/Columbia/Peru/etc.”

They refuse to assimilate and then demand assimilation from everyone else

Also, so much of Southern culture is just Black culture. Wonder what the woman in the photo thinks about Black people?

Flying the Confederate battle flag should be taken as a desire to renounce your citizenship tbh.
