Zahir Al Umar attempt at a state in the Levant.
He was an Ottoman ruler of a small city in the Galilee region that gradually expanded through out the entire vilayet and ended up controlling majority of modern day Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, and some parts of Syria & Jordan. Very interesting rise and fall.

All that in a tiny bumfuck village, they accomplished more in 10 days than the Ottomans did for the entire region in 500 years. And it failed because the fucking supplies of ammo, weapons and armed bands from Bulgaria didn't arrive because of fucking political bullshit, the supplies were promised by a member of the Sofia led Supremists faction, whos plan was to have the uprising FAIL so that the great powers could see the "plight of the Bulgarians" and allow the Bulgarian army to intervene. The IMRO plan was to create a free republic that would not be under the influence of ANY monarchy and thus ANY great power.

This is what I don't get about the confederate flag deal. If you really wanted to honor your history, wouldn't you fly this flag instead of the battle flag? One was actually used, the other is basically just a middle finger to the Feds and black people
test to see if i'm still banned
>>3267950
The battle flag looks so much nicer, though, and the real reason we're keeping these monuments is for the soldiers who fought, not the government they fought for.

While it never really got off the ground, King David Kalakaua of Hawai'i wanted to found a Pacific Empire made up of all the Polynesian Islands plus some other Pacific Islands it could acquire, in an attempt to unite them all against European/American Imperialism.
His plan was to convince the various Island chiefs to join together for mutual strength and make Hawai'i the head. The future of the new state would all be secured by being under the protection of Japan (Kalakaua visited and was a fan of the Emperor Meji)
Unfortunately, Meji (respectfully) refused Kalakaua's offer, and his continued pursuits toward his goal -
including an attempted intervention in Samoa that almost led to a war with Germany - ironicallh weakened Hawai'is ability to retain her sovereignty. When he died, Liliuokalani was unable to retain power and local capitalists (for lack of better term) led a coup that ultimately resulted in Hawai'i's annexation
I think it would've been neat if he had pulled it off
tl;dr Kalakaua tried so hard and got so far to form a pan-Polynesian Pacific Empire but ultimately doomed Hawai'i

The alt right as a conglomeration of everything from people that don't play the identity politics/globalist game to fascists, to neo-confederate groups, to full blown racial holy war turdlings, is indeed a meme and too much of a stupid generalization to be a serious singular ideology.
I guess the last thirty years of blatant neo-con globalist pseudo-socialism has pushed the center of of political thought so far to the authoritarian left that any person in the new "center" or even slightly right of center is considered "alternative far-right wing". Everyone realized the parties were the same damn thing around the Nixon era, they realized we were doing a vast amount of shady authoritarian shit come Bush 41 era, they realized we live in an oligarchy in 1913-2008 depending on education, and they realized the "establishment" was indeed working towards total global power and government at the behest of a super rich elite like conspiracy theorists have been squawking about during Obama time, and anyone trying desperately to have no part in this so drastic things like voting trump into office, which I myself did.
So now anyone that's not stupified and totally distracted by irrelevant race baiting and identity politics is "alt right".

This is what I don't get, wouldnt the battle flag if a specific army have less racial connotations than a flag representative of a specifically slave owning nation?

As a MOST POWERFUL I really don't get the deal about the Confederate flag--why prevent them from flying their flag? It's not a racial thing, it's a symbol of their love for their states, which is albeit a backwards ass place compared to America, but Scotland is a backward ass place compared to England and yet their flag is still allowed.

It's a symbol of remembrance of the dead soldiers who fought for the confederacy. They didn't fight for slavery, they fought because they were at war. The war was started by the wealthy people, who fought for slavery.
