meaninglessness of symbols
an LRC blog post links to a near onion-style lament that hopeful goon recruits are being rejected by the borg because of confederate tattoos. not explained: why anyone with a confederate tattoo wants to be a fedgoon. lord above, could something be more pathetic than a milfare-recipient wannabe with a CSA tatt? should be funny, but it’s too sad.
Scratch a modern Southerner sporting a Confederate flag, and likely you’ll find a simpering faggot enthralled by US federal attachments. The odds are not absolute, but dreadful still. I see no way the beast Lincoln could have triumphed more completely in his vile aim than to have Southerners worshiping the consuming federal state while claiming Confederate heritage.
