Better to be concise.

There are so many more non-whites in the South than you realize, people that live happy lives without bother. Lots of those gas stations you passed probably didn’t have one single white person in them lol I can’t count how many times I’ve seen this in rural/suburban areas.

And if there are white people there, they’re likely not what you imagine them to be. It’s wild how such a prejudice usually comes from the people that claim to be so open and accepting.

In other words, nobody cares that you’re brown. Just get some gas, grab a snickers, piss, and move on. This isn’t the 1940s.

It’s pretty clear though.

I don’t think it was ever actually co-opted. I think people saw some bearded redneck wear it as a cape in a picture above an article a couple times and then the Internet left decided it was a Nazi symbol.

The Confederate flag has a 100% legitimate argument for being a symbol of hate. The Gadsden Flag is a part of our nation’s founding ideal.

Young people indoctrinated to socially pressure their peers into following a strict moral code. The parallels are so on-the-nose that it’s almost funny.

Personally, the cunts that would lump me in with white supremacists because I have a Don’t Tread On Me license plate aren’t worth the effort to appease. They’d have to be brainwashed themselves.

But that’s textbook authoritarianism. Nobody will willingly give away their life’s work to what will, in practice, be the state.

Seems like every time the left is accused of anything, it’s never actually the left that did it. It’s always some nefarious actor. The left cannot and never has done anything wrong… except for not being left enough, of course.

Yes, people that aren’t “equipped” with an all-emcompassing ideology that conveniently defines their whole worldview for an immediate opinion on everything or that don’t happen to have vehement feelings on the issue-of-the-day are literally peasants amirite?

I never disputed your link on the origins of the term.

All I said is that it seems very convenient that the left cannot and never has done anything wrong other than not being left enough. You’re either completely benevolent or you’re not a leftist, by definition.

There is no act that can’t be waived away as being “not actually left-wing.”
