    Conservatives make me laugh. The recipients of the two biggest beatdowns in US military history were the confederates and the nazis, but the “Support the Troops” crowd proudly flies their flags.

      You don’t think that’s one of the root causes of all these issues? Pride and resentment and a deep inferiority complex met with sneering on the other side?

        That would maybe explain the confederate flag love but not the nazi flag love. Most of these fools aren’t even ethnically German, so why feel inferior about Germany losing two world wars? And even the confederate loss was 160 fucking years ago.

        I personally am about 98% ethnic German and I still think nazis deserve to have their teeth kicked out.

          The love for the Nazi flag comes from white identity politics and white nationalism. The confederate types and the Nazi types have begun to rally together. White nationalism is spreading like a wildfire not just in North America but all over Europe.
