Thanks Seabass. I'm aware of the resentment. I think your explanation is probably right. As a big middle finger to everyone else it makes sense. But really, the idea that most of them share an actual, meaningful relationship with the Confederate States is just corny as hell.Seabass wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 8:04 pmAre you familiar with the Lost Cause mythology?Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 3:58 pm
I don't understand the modern American's connection to the Confederate States. I've got plenty of neighbors that fly the flag --from their garage mostly-- but I don't know what their connection to it is other than to say hey, I'm a racist prick.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Caus ... onfederacy
In short, the defeated Confederacy convinced itself that it was they who were the good guys and the Union that were the bad guys, and the war wasn't really about slavery, but rather it was really about states rights and freedom (hilariously, their own freedom, as in freedom for white men to own black slaves, and not, of course, about freedom for black people). This is where conservative America's insane, delusional psychosis really starts. In the Lost Cause narrative, they were the victims of the tyrannical Yankees, and ever since then, conservative America's knee jerk reaction to anything the rest of the country wants is to oppose it. Oppose, oppose, oppose. Anti for the sake of being anti. Anything that sane, decent people would consider progress, they just oppose it, because reasons.
Over the years, the flag has just become sort of a cultural or tribal signifier, for the most part. It says, "this is the side of the culture war I've chosen (or more accurately, randomly been born and raised into). I'm a conservative/Republican/Southerner/coal roller/etc, so fuck you, Yankee/hippie/socialist/vegen/etc."
I don't think that everyone who flies it is necessarily racist, but I would say that at minimum they are either oblivious or indifferent to how that flag makes black people feel.
Imagine that. I guess it's only coincidental that you'd already be the perfect citizen in the ideal world you're selling.

'Infiltrators Are Sabotaging the Proud Boys' "White Lives Matter" Day'
'Infiltrators Are Sabotaging the Proud Boys' "White Lives Matter" Day'
According to anonymous internet trolls, April 11 will be a day of spontaneous far-right anger. That’s when a supposedly “grassroots” coalition of demonstrators plan “White Lives Matter” rallies in cities across the country. But despite its “grassroots” claims, the movement is secretly being organized by a coalition of Proud Boys and other far-right figures, leaked chat logs reveal.
Now some of the rallies are in freefall, with members of their groups being outed as neo-Nazis. That’s bad news for organizers, who spent weeks trying to make the rallies appear as tame as possible in order to attract new recruits.
In late March, in a public Telegram channel for the White Lives Matter rallies, administrators emphasized that the marches were unaffiliated with far-right groups like the Proud Boys. “No mentioning of any groups,” a message read. “This is grassroot and no groups are affiliated.”
The public messages also emphasized that marchers should not use “hate slurs or symbols.”
But privately, those rules were being workshopped in a Telegram group called “ADMINS OF WLM ZONE,” according to chat logs reviewed by The Daily Beast. Multiple members of that group were self-described Proud Boys, while others had usernames with references to Nazis. The organizer of a White Lives Matter march in Massachusetts claimed to be affiliated with Nationalist Social Club, a New England-based neo-Nazi group.
...
[E]lsewhere in the chat, members became paranoid that anti-fascists were monitoring their conversations.
They were right to worry. Two different infiltrators scraped the group’s contents and provided them to The Daily Beast. An Oregon anti-fascist group previously published some of those leaked messages.
Meanwhile, in more public White Lives Matter channels, operations were also going awry. Several Telegram channels for localized White Lives Matter marches—including those in New Jersey, Seattle, and New York City—revealed themselves to have been decoys operated by the left. Another Telegram group, for an Ohio rally issued an apology on Friday, stating that it would postpone its event due to lack of RSVPs.
Some of the planned Sunday marches have not been canceled, however. Among them are planned rallies in North Carolina and North Dakota, where activists on the left have announced counter-demonstrations.

Tommy Robinson is so oppressed he sought asylum in the US...
The anti-immigration activist Tommy Robinson asked wealthy American backers to help him claim asylum in the US, the Guardian has learned, while his team approached the Republican senator Ted Cruz’s office about securing a visa.
Court documents released in the US show the English Defence League founder discussed moving his family to Texas in 2019, where he would earn money by speaking at venues “including evangelical churches”.
Such was the influence of Robinson’s supporters that they asked advisers to Cruz, the Republican former presidential candidate, for legal advice on securing an extended visa for “someone who needs protection”...

It looks like the Alt-Right have finally had their "Does not compute" moment.
There's a new HBO show out from Joss Whedon called The Nevers. Half of these dum-dums are hating on it on IMdB because it's "woke trash" (because of the strong wimminz and POC characters), and the other half are hating on the "virtue-signaling" critics who are sort of slating this show and giving it a hard time because with recent events it turns out Joss Whedon might be a bit of a creep and marking this show up and making it a point to watch this show as some sort of act of defiance (if only their was a name for that ).

Yes
The analysis covered March 15 to December 15, 2020, and included the number of SARS-CoV-2 tests, positive tests, COVID-19 case diagnoses, and COVID-19 fatalities. The researchers used a sophisticated statistical tool called a Bayesian negative binomial model to estimate, for each day in the nine-month study window, the relative risks or chances of getting tested, testing positive, getting COVID-19, or dying of COVID-19, for people in 26 GOP-governed vs. 25 Democrat-governed states. Washington, D.C. was treated as Democrat-governed.
The researchers were aware that many other factors, including the natural progression of the pandemic from early waves in urban areas, such as New York City and Seattle, to later waves in rural areas, might have contributed to differences between Republican- and Democrat-led states. However, they attempted to correct for these confounding factors in their analysis.
Their findings, even when factoring in these confounders, revealed a clear pattern in which Democrat-led states were hardest-hit early in the pandemic, but after a few months Republican-led states on average began to have more positive tests, COVID-19 cases, and more COVID-19 deaths. The transition occurred for testing-positivity on May 30, for COVID-19 case diagnoses on June 3, and for COVID-19 deaths on July 4. The differences between the two groups of states peaked in the period from late June to early August—for example, on August 5 the relative risk of dying of COVID-19 was 1.8 times higher in GOP-led states.
