The Dawkins Circle
like dante's inferno, there was a hierarchy of "circles" with names like the reason circle (the entry level) then the darwin circle, evolution circle and finally the dawkins circle -- wherein one presumably accesses the most secret knowledge used to battle the forces of superstition and darkness.

When the internet was still new there were no normies, the only conservatives you could reliably argue with were libertarians or fundy Christians. And half the time a libertarian just knew they wanted drugs to be legal, they didn't know they supported child slavery before Ron Paul distilled them in 2004. So if you wanted to find the most shithouse thread on a board, the evo/cre thread was most certainly it, full of 99% earnest people trying to change each other's minds with massive walls of text.

When the statue was erected in 1913:

quote:

In his now controversial dedication speech, industrialist and former Confederate soldier Julian Carr emphatically praised the student-soldiers and soldiers of the Confederate army for their wartime valor and patriotism.

However, he also notes towards the end of the speech his belief that "The present generation, I am persuaded, scarcely takes note of what the Confederate soldier meant to the welfare of the Anglo Saxon race during the four years immediately succeeding the war...their courage and steadfastness saved the very life of the Anglo Saxon race in the South." “The four years immediately succeeding the war” refers to the terrorization of blacks and white Republicans by the Ku Klux Klan, which worked to change the dominance of whites in the south.

Carr went on to boast to the crowd that "one hundred yards from where we stand," soon after his return from Apomattox, "I horse whipped a negro wench until her skirts hung in shreds because she had maligned and insulted a Southern lady, and then rushed for protection to these University buildings where was stationed a garrison of 100 Federal soldiers. I performed the pleasing duty in the immediate presence of the entire garrison."

lmao, I explained my position before to some chuds that I believe there are legitimgate national treasures in some civil war monuments, like Camp Morton and Andersonville, but that none of these statues deserve even a second of thought bercause they were erected 70 years after by some mayor named Popcorn to bolster his campaign of outlawing jazz and they should rightly be pulled down, it was a :thunk: moment for them to their credit lol

they just assume all monuments to white history are immediately valid, as I assume most people do

there's a memorial to a concentration camp for confederates run here in Indianapolis, and I've argued passionately that it should be preserved, to show that there are no good guys or good causes in war, that it's all a horror of slaughter and genocide arrived at because people were too stupid and short sighted to do what needed doing before escalation was the only option

a lot of people do not agree with this, especially on the right. they believe in the face of all evidence that war can be noble and honorable, lmao

of course, but even then it's better to smother them in the cradle, but the liberal mindset doesn't allow for this so immoral war is always a necessity

If he had stuck to a more narrow path he could have become much more influential on the right than he did.

Youth for Western Civilization was very much a kind of Geert Wilders-esque group. But there was also some dodgy stuff (of course) and the thing collapsed. Then Matty went full 1488.

So do I :heysexy:

Well two minutes of searching tells me his last name is Donovan and he knew Heimbach from high school. He became the Towson University chapter's VP. Other than that :shrug:

--

But yeah the thing was vaguely neocon. Like, imagine the kind of worldview represented by someone like Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Anti-Muslim and pro-Israel. So this group started out like that then would do demonstrations where they'd chalk "white pride" on campus and people started backing away like "wait a sec..."
