Don’t forget their worship of the Roman Empire.
And their meltdown when they find out it wasn't just white people
Or the fact homosexuality was generally accepted.
And they had cute femboys as emperors.
It's pretty easy to understand, honestly. It's because they've been told over and over and over, since they were in the crib and forevermore between themselves as adults, that the south is their heritage, and the 'south will rise again,' and that blacks/hispanics/asians/anything-else-they-can-blame-aside-from-themselves is the reason that their region/city/state is doing so poorly.
That's the reason for the confederacy, anyway. The nazi thing is white nationalism, pure and simple. Get a bunch of scared*, young, impressionable white teens, and tell them their world is going to be horrible, and it's all because of [repeat statement of blacks/hispanics/asians/etc above], and that 'their brothers' need their help, and they can see everything they love be amazing once again** if only they hurt [repeat statement again].
*because let's face it, most rural areas it sucks to grow up and try to make a living in, and they're sort of right to be scared that they won't be able to support a family, and supporting themselves alone is almost as horrific (and nearly impossible as well) since we've made isolation commonplace.
**once again being some weird throwback to what they thought things were like as kids
It still doesn't make it easy to understand. My grandad spouted this nonsense. It was easy to refute from my own experiences and conclusions, even as a child. Why so many with functioning brains just say "naw, I must be wrong, racist old people must be right" still makes no sense.
And that's why they blame teachers for guilting kids when teaching history. Because they told their kids that it's core to their identity.
But also, if they admit that their great, great, grandpa fought to take away their state right to choose whether rich assholes could own other people (also giving them an unfair advantage over poorer farmers), they'd have to admit that their ancestry was being really fucking stupid tools.
The Third Reich won the Spanish Civil War and the invasion of Czechoslovakia.
What if I like learning about Nazis because it’s hilarious how incompetent they were?
Then this post is probably not about you, sorry
When do I get my post? :(
