This is by the way why I am unequivocally not a #whitenationalist. I am a a #LostCause sympathizer to be sure, but I am 100% confident that when the time comes when the regime is seriously challenged, more than a few whites will be regime-aligned. And more than a few brown populations and subgroups will prove themselves revolutionary and worthy of life.

#DeSantis should have waited until all intelligent life on this planet was extinct, because whatever is left is his only chance of getting elected.

"Hey, we should raid this place... 🤔 Nah... upon further consideration, I think it is a lost cause anyway. The End. [Applause and ovation.] "

Today the Sons of Confederate Veterans will gather at Stone Mountain, Georgia to celebrate Confederate Memorial Day and Confederate History Month. The Southern Poverty Law Center and a local group called the Stone Mountain Action coalition have condemned the gathering.

The term Lost Cause of the South refers to a number of interpretations of the American Civil War from an effectively pro-Southern perspective. All wars in history have had complex, nuanced reasons for their occurrence, but the idea of the "Lost Cause" is a classic example of #denialism, where the conflict is reframed to minimize or even completely ignore the primary cause of the US Civil War; the existence of #slavery. This #mythos makes reference to a number of different themes, and these appear in various pop culture sources and persist to this day.

Almost immediately after the war ended in 1865, the defeated Southern states had to form a coherent reason why they had engaged in a rebellion against the Union. Such reason could not highlight the centrality of slavery to the Southern cause, but instead had to minimize, or even deny, the role of slavery.

The #LostCause of the Confederacy Part 2
continues seemingly unabated. A small sample of the shitshow sweeping across America. In what's left of my life I honestly see little chance of things not deteriorating further in my nation, and in the world. For those younger and stronger, there is always hope. Keep fighting.

Seems like only #LostCause historians would support that theory.

I've been considering doing a podcast where I read the hostile and threatening comments I regularly receive on my articles. I finally did it, here's the first one:

I've recently come to the realization that perhaps the largest (pre-internet) and most damaging #PSYOPS operation was the post assassination #LostCause propaganda campaign here in the U.S.

I'm not keenly aware enough of overseas history to state that definitively, but because of the superpower that the USA has become label it as perhaps having the worst consequences.

I'm glad to hear about the EU doing better on the mis/disinformation front and it appears that way to me also. I won't really have a decent idea how we're doing here until after another couple of elections I fear.

Nick Anderson: In texts, #Youngkin appointee plots ‘battle royale for the soul of UVA’: Cellphone messages offer unfiltered view of Bert Ellis’s fight against giving slavery too much weight in University of Virginia’s story

"The University squandered taxpayer money in court for six months and illegally withheld these documents from the public because they demonstrate Governor Youngkin’s Board appointees are ignorant reactionaries consumed by hatred and neo-Confederate fantasies" — Jeff Thomas
