Many people don’t know that the Nazi party took many an inspiration from the American south. Even the Nazi’s were taken aback in some cases by how harshly white Americans treated blacks and wrote segregation into their laws.

Nazis respected the confederacy, even looked up to it. “Where did all these fascists come from?” Well, they were always here because we didn’t punish them enough. And project paperclip welcomed in Nazi members, even SS members, and gave them land.

    I grew up in Alabama (Tuscaloosa). These people are literal Pharisees. I lost religion by observing them, and reading the bible. I grew up as a racist conservative Xbox kid, but over time morphed into an atheist liberal.

    Some people are fine with contradictions. I am not.

      A baptist friend of mine said if Jesus ever came back, the “Christians“ would be the first ones to put him back up on the cross.

      They aren’t interested in what he said.

        It’s absolutely true. They’d call him a woke commie socialist translover, and ICE would deport him to CECOT. A lot of people that aren’t southern, or haven’t interacted with this flavor of white Christian nationalism, think this is an exaggeration that is a product of our division.

        It absolutely isn’t. If they think you’re “safe” (one of them) then they’ll tell you how they really feel, and a lot of the time it’s worse than what far-left people are accusing them of.
