I'm gonna quasi-devil's-advocate: if you're a random southern schmuck, or even a random briefly-educated southern schmuck, Lee's a pretty cool dude, or at least a pretty neutral dude.

He agonized over whether to support the Union or become a traitorous scumbag fight for his state, and even was pretty cool to his slaves because his wife insisted on it. As lovely Confederates go, he's both superficially somewhat decent and kind of badass.

Hell, I didn't know he made maneuver decisions based on sacking freedman towns for labor until several years ago, and I like to think I'm a gigantic history dork.

The city of Charlottesville stupidly chose to allow those morons to come here. Then, at the eleventh hour, they pulled their permit and tried to move the protest to McIntire Park. The city has been pretty inept in its handling of this mess, and I'm legitimately more worried about this rally than I was the KKK one about a month ago. Nobody likes the KKK; even alt-righters have been distancing themselves. But Kessler is just sympathetic enough that if violence erupts, he might become a martyr in some people's eyes.

I mean, I don't want to make it illegal to release a clock that tracks the odds of cerebellum syrup ending human life by creating a race of meta human xmen but the doomsday clock used to be way more grounded than that. The times legitimately used to match world events for decades, now year to year the number changes what it even tracks and its just always at a very low number of minutes way higher than most of the entire Cold War and just rising till they ran out of numbers and went to fractions.

The Lost Cause is a helluva thing and the country would have been a better place had they made the same Anti-Nazi laws Germany during Reconstruction, that and not ending Reconstruction prematurely in order to win a presidency.

Probably more like 400-500 from what I'm reading. Another thing: This is the pre-game as the main event is tomorrow. This is a big coming-out party for North America's new Nazi movement and there are people driving down from Canada for it.

As far as I know, but then there's the 'main event' tomorrow. I'm just going to stay far away from town. The whole thing disgusts the hell out of me. I never thought this kind of thing would happen in a little liberal university town like Charlottesville.

Yes, but these fuckers like him for one reason and one reason only. He is the celebrated leader of the army that fought to protect slavery. His personal issues and beliefs don't matter. Hell, if Lee had stayed with the Union he'd be shat on by these fuckers like Grant and Sherman.

Most of the people are from out of state. Why Charlottesville? The Confederate statue there but you'd have to ask them. Various interconnected groups (there's a bunch) and Daily Stormer have built a scalable network of local chapters and "book clubs" and the like that is making up the meat of the rally. So again, think of it like a big national "convention" so to speak with the goal of putting on a big display of power and to shock people. Seems to be working.

Just quietly cancel the tearing down and drop a nuke on the statue instead. Sure, innocents will be caught in the blast, but it's for the greater good of the world

Sending the police to block them from protesting in the first place seems like it would have made them bigger martyrs than anything. Not sure what you think the city should have done.

Look at this map and see what countries have nukes...


With the exception of French Guyana, there's no nuclear powers remaining south of the equator. In a worldwide nuclear war, it's mostly going to be counterstrike (military targets, particularly nuclear weapon sites) and countervalue targets (population and industrial centers to prevent your enemy from rebuilding their military) of other nuclear powers. Blowing up neutral nations is stupid since you'll need those to rebuild or live in exile, because even those big shelters like Mount Weather and Cheyenne Mountain aren't self-sustaining and Air Force One can't fly forever. The fallout tracks would be limited to the jet stream, so most effects would be above the Tropic of Cancer.

In short, a nuclear war is mostly a white man's problem.

Ummm...the southern hemisphere is arguably more white than the northern hemisphere. Chile, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. Most of Africa and almost all of Asia are in the northern hemisphere.

Alternatively, counter protest. There's going to be a major counter-protest and it needs people like you to make them seem small and weak like they truly are. Put the cowards in their place and make them as impotent as they truly are.
