>>74080771
The greed of the aristocracy and some jewish slave traders damned the South, you're right
>>74080827
No, but without them holding the south back the civil war wouldn't have happened. Latin American land owners did the same, but even worse, they used to mass execute and torture their slaves fir entertainment.

Jews are an innocent race and you should leave them alone. Israel is and always has been our greatest ally

Hezbollah operates much like a state within a state. They provide healthcare, schooling, assist farmers, collecting garbage, repairing other schools and buildings, providing support during times of natural disaster or wartime to civilians, and other social services more effectively than the Lebanese government normally can. And of course, they also have their own paramilitary wing. They do everything that a government does but inside Lebanon.
Much of Hezbollah's success today though comes from the leadership of Nasrallah. In my opinion Nasrallah might be one of the most intelligent men in the Middle East today, and we would need our own Nasrallah who can lead, give speeches, and secure funding.

Nah. They're getting ones in black-infested ratholes like New Orleans, and even then, they're just being moved a few miles down the road (great use of hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars). It's not like they're destroying them.
Yeah, it sucks that those statues could survive there for a century, and stuff like Hurricane Katrina, but ultimately couldn't survive liberal politicians falling all over themselves to pander after the Roof shooting. It's really pathetic to move such history.
If it's any solace, Stone Mountain, the Alabama state capitol Confederate Memorial Monument (pic. related), etc. aren't going anywhere. They can't be taken down by any lowly city council.
>>74081315
Yockey worked with communists. He couldn't be trusted

>>74081566
Grant was a stupid choice for putting on currency for many reasons beyond that, the man was a shitty President, mediocre at best general, and a drunken sadsack loser. But demonising Robert E. Lee for any reason is just despicable. The man's character was beyond reproach.
>>74081566

Grant is generally listed on historians' worst U.S. Presidents lists too. He truly is a shitty-ass choice to be on the $50.
Don't get why the Treasury went after Alexander Hamilton and Andrew Jackson rather than him. Maybe because Grant is already relegated to the least-used of the major bills ($1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100) in circulation.

I see.
If you want self-governance, then refer to the people. In the end, it is enough to say that no empire can withstand the people and remain indefinitely. The promise of global webbing is not enough to uphold a nation longer than predestined and, paradoxically, it is enough reason for its collapse. The US holds a lot of promise, being the sandbox of some pasteurized democracy where all options are exhausted, or even roped to a trolley and dragged on.
What would you ask from a Union?
is there a more perfect model of civil defense than the commando system?

Give me a quick rundown
>>74082081
armed local militias with the power to detain criminals and wait for law enforcement, made specifically because south africa was huge and it would take time for the police to get there
was effective as fuck and literally community based (each unit was formed from a precinct and they had no jurisdiction outside of it)
they were disbanded a while back because the of the horrifying concept of armed organized white men (even though the units weren't segregated)
since then, africa style murders have become more rampant there

>>74082241

>>74082221
I did spend quite a lot of time there as a kid, but never lived there, so I can't tell you about public schooling or anything like that. But the capital is Nashville, which has been the center of Southern music for nearly a century. To the east is Knoxville, to the west is Memphis, which should be avoided because of >get shot. It's 76-80% white, which is probably the highest proportion of any Southern state. It's also solidly red and even Democrats there are pretty Conservative, my Grandmother lives there and has been both a registered Democrat and NRA member most of her life. There's quite little in the way of Yankee transplants outside of Nashville, but even in Nashville it's never so bad that you forget you're in the South like you do sometimes in my state.
The negatives are Memphis, which I mentioned before, and tornadoes, which do tend to happen.

Pretty sure they had some units fighting with us, as did Maryland. Border states were mostly just the states that Lincoln managed to keep from seceding with force or other fuckery. Today they seem to still mostly be sympathetic, although being neutral they don't pay much mind to the war.

The North is more segregated than the South. It's just a non issue because it wasn't historically Antebellum and they fought to shed the chains of slavery.

oh those slipped my mind for some reason. Well for the same reason so many are set in Russia and the Ukraine I guess, it's just a setting that works well for run-down or gloomy environments and therefore horror. As for why Georgia specifically it's probably just because it's the first state most people think of when they think of the South and it has name recognition to foreigners.
