CSA. I'm a neo-confederate in the sense of how Theodore Bilbo was a Black Nationalist- I support it because I want to get rid of a certain group (in Bilbo's case Black people, in my case poor rural Whites).

Comparing yourself to Theodore Bilbo and denigrating an entire group of economically disadvantaged people all in one post, very cool thank you flyingmongoose

Do you know what name the Confederates used for us Yankees when they wanted to be real nasty? It was "mudsill" —a reference to the fact that unlike the southern planter class, the northern workingman had to get his hands dirty to put food on the table. Given your deep-seated contempt for working people and blatant apathy for the fate of Black Americans, I have no doubt you would have supported the Confederacy along with those genteel aristocrats Marse Robert and Jeff Davis.

What the fxck is wrong with you? Take a break from the forum, get some goddamn perspective, and come back in a few years when you are older wiser and more mature.

I would like to sincerely apologize for this. The aforementioned post came after I read an ER post saying something anti-Semitic, so the post was in a period of anger (this was after I had to complete a paper on 'Anti-Semitism In Modern Culture'. ER is who I associate the most with rural Whites. I, of course, do not think that the confederacy should have won (I've stated before that we should have renamed Georgia 'Sherman' after the war), and I do not hold any ill will towards Black people or any other minority, particularly since I am a minority on two counts. Owning up to your mistakes and taking responsibility for one's actions is a sign of maturity according to society and I hope to develop that skill more in the future.

The Union obviously, and every single Confederate soldier should have been jailed and charged with treason. Reconstruction was never going to go far enough.

ExtremeRepublican lives in one of the richest counties in all of America, hails from one of the richest areas of the mid-Atlantic and is not just degreed but degreed from one of the most prestigious private schools in the country. Please learn to differentiate between suburban and rural. I know it's harder in this era of suddenly progressive-shifting suburbs in certain locales throwing people off, but it is southern suburbs that are the backbone of movement conservatism and continue to be the backbone even if Atlanta suburbs are moving a tinge (and hardly because of white folks). And the mouthpieces of the modern right-wing movement continue to rise from the same angry suburbs that they always have - north/west Chicago, Long Island, Orange County - even as they are now less representative of their peers rather than any rural area.

Also understand that church-going Evangelicals are some of the richest people in America and that whatever stereotypes you have of his group probably better applies to non-churchgoing cultural Christians in rural areas.

To me it is an extremely safe bet that however antisemitic you interpreted the ER post to be, it does not compare in any way to saying, even in jest, that you want to get rid of a certain group.

Sprouts has debunked this already. But I will also note that many, many of ER’s posts directly acknowledge that his lived experience is that of a suburban/exurban evangelical and he has shown enough self-awareness to call it a “bubble” on multiple occasions.

I should clarify that I wasn't advocating for an ethnic genocide against any group, I was rather saying that I wouldn't have to deal with them since they wouldn't be in my country. That said it in no way excuses my actions, I just thought it might be prudent to clear up unhinged and stupid rage-posting against a demographic group vs advocating for a holocaust against said group.

As a Jewish person, I of all people should know that holocaust advocacy is terrible.

If I had a nickel for every time someone blamed poor rural dwellers for the sins of wealthy suburbanites, I would be a very rich man.

Never mind that Iowa, one of the most prototypically "rural white" states, supplied more Union soldiers per capita than any other state.

Also NYC was more sympathetic to the confederacy than upstate New York

Union, the Federalist were the Collins Compassionate Conservative party and Democrats were Dixiecrats all the way up till 1920 when Cox put FDR on the ticket and lost against Harding and Females began to vote that allowed Coolidge to put as FBI Director Jay Edgar Hoover.

I think it might be good for you to reduce your level of interaction with Atlas, for your own mental health.
