I've visited and or posted on kotaku in action nearly every day since it started in 2014. I know more about the movement than anyone here.

Obviously not.

I don't think anyone has a clear idea of what the hell GamerGate was about.

I have a better idea of what it was about than Jedi obviously thinks it's about. If he got his info from kotaku since 2014, he's late to the game.

But fuck off, I'm a Southerner, and I'm tired of the white trash contingent going Nazi and humping Lee's statue. I'm tired of the Nazi's flying Old Glory and the battle flag of the Army of Northern VA when all they want to do is menace.

How many Nazis you know Cid? Being from the South I imagine you can tell me all about the annual KKK rally in your town and the 1000s that attend. Tell us about how often you see the run of the mill, Southern Culture appropriating, Nazis. Heck you probably need to use two hands to count the number of crosses you see burned in peoples yards on your way to work every week. Tell us about the weekly bibles studies held at the foot all these statues across the nation.

Or reality might say this....Today, the Center estimates that there are between 5,000 and 8,000 Klan members, split among dozens of different - and often warring - organizations that use the Klan name.

If every Klansman voted for Trump that make up .000167% of his base.

As for my part.. I don't really give a shit that she died. She showed up that day to attack people with deadly weapons and then got killed herself.

Still waiting for you providing just a single piece of evidence of that. Did she, the specific, individual woman who got killed attack the driver or anyone else at the protest? Post that evidence now, then.

It's not that kind of thread, dude.
It's a feelers thread.

Meme creator can't even spell of right. That's what happens when you outsource your meme creation.

Implying people have not shown video and photographic evidence of it repeatedly since yesterday.

Yeah, about that... Watch the whole thing.

[Smitty-48]

And smitty let elaborate, I'll confess I ascribe to an older traditional style of masculinity, but I didn't go into the military and you being someone who did matters to me. I've enjoyed hearing about your rows with American soldiers and other anecdotes.

But fuck off, I'm a Southerner, and I'm tired of the white trash contingent going Nazi and humping Lee's statue. I'm tired of the Nazi's flying Old Glory and the battle flag of the Army of Northern VA when all they want to do is menace.

I'm tired of it working and I get it when it works and some dumb son of a bitch does, what all those old flag waving cunts never did but wanted to, shoot up a black church or drive a car into some hipsters.

And yeah, I'm tired of trying to rationalize how you can be such a bitch having served. But right, you don't care, is what it is WOT WOT.

"Southron". "Southerner" is not really a thing. That being said, it's not monolithic, I don't conflate "Southron" with Neo Nazi, there are Neo Nazis all over, there are Neo Nazis in Canada too, it's not a Southron thing, the Colors of the Army of Northern Virginia have nothing to do with National Socialism, that's two separate issues altogether, just because Neo Nazis fly the Colors of the Army of Northern Virgnia, that doesn't make Southron's into Nazis, lots of people fly the Colors of the Army of Northern Virginia with absolutely no affiliation with National Socialism. Hence, don't get mad at me, for failing to throw the Army of Northern Virginia under the bus, just because somebody else is flying that flag, I fly it for my own reasons, which have nothing to do with theirs.

As for me being a "bitch" for "having served" and in the wake of, declining to conflate the Colors of the Army of Nothern Virginia with National Socialism, I don't know how you get there, because I served Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and what quarrel the Crown has with the memorializing of the Army of Northern Virginia, is not clear to me, it's no crime against the Crown, to fly the Colors of the Army of Northern Virginia, so long as you're not doing so, specifically in contravention of the Queen's Peace, which, I am not, so it's all good like that, me and my Commander-in-Chief, are not conflicted here.

Good as any of the the other pearl clutching going on in this thread.

I can tell you I lived Blacksburg/Christiansburg area for most of the last decade asshole and I didn't really appreciate the shit that started because of the Army of NVA flag, nor did I appreciate shit eaters in pickup trucks driving around with it and the American flag, when the whole thing started because the confederate flag was used to menace the relatively small African American minority at Cburg High, a fact told to me by a white alum.

So, to you as well, fuck right off.

Edit: Also, I didn't think I knew ANY Nazis, but I also didn't think I knew any Nazi apologists and holy fucking shit I was wrong there.

[Speaker to Animals]

Just came home from some errands. Rebel flags are out in force today. You guys are only solidifying southern identity after all these years, really. So I guess this is not such a bad thing.

I never questioned the logic of the flags you fly, I questioned the merits of commenting on a murdered citizen because I was under the impression those that serve have certain principles about such things. I was wrong and naïve and I will obviously own that.
