Honestly my read from it is exactly the opposite. They go oit of their way to show that galactic rahowa is natural and inevitable and deliberately craft the universe to make the imperium right.

its both. it was origonally satire, but then they get dummies who are too dumb to pick up on it to write poo poo and then you have stories about space hitler being right. and since games workshops is incompetent they'll never walk back on it so expect it to keep be schizo about it

there really isn't tho. its an extreme minority compared to dominant pop culture, which is overwhelmingly telling kids that Gay is OK

you have to be a real goony goon to think that todays kids are paying more attention to 40k than to Adventure Time

tbf if you take kids to mean teens, then it's pretty true.

lol "right-wing twitch streamers" are not the youth culture force you think they are, although i can understand how it looks that way to videogame obsessed goons.

when did I mention streamers? let's ignore all the military shooter games about Hard Men Making Hard Decisions, the glorification of war against flat, caricatures of Muslim radicals, the constant messaging Of superior elites versus the unwashed hordes, clearly I'm talking about a bunch of dweebs on twitch

no offence. but other then those 2 lovely MOH and 1 cod and army of 2/1. what the gently caress is there a game that you shoot Muslims. because i play a ton of shooters, most of the times its either mercs, aliens, zombies, nazis or russians. there hasnt been one of those kind of games in years. maybe you should actually play the stuff.

meh, I'll grant the Muslim radicals one (haven't been too into fps since 2011, but that doesn't go against all the other right wing standbys or husserls obsession with twitch streamers

Not because of racism, but because of course, he's a gay.

The rest of the #NeverTrumpers jumped on the band wagon because gently caress MILO is just a fun thing to do.

nah, they're specifically parking garages. I'm just basing this off the video of the alt-righters riding in the back of a truck and dropping the phone that's recording and this dude being stabbed.

probably just there being a lot of people in parking garages to harass, and no where to really escape to quickly if you harass the wrong person

thats whats im wondering about, are they just being shady as gently caress and hanging out in parking garages or are they just so loving beta that they attract surly parking garage dwellers

They would have tried. Emphasis on tried. Their lovely constitution made the economic development that was essential for them to even try major expansion, unlikely.

This. The different states had differing currencies, could opt out of drafts, could refuse federal (or confederate whatevs) troops permission to move through states, and all sorts of other dumb poo poo that would have made any major offensive action an abject failure.

While it's always dangerous to start engaging in counterfactuals, I've always thought that if the war had somehow continued through 1865 you would have seen Confederate troops moved in to control states like Georgia that defied the national government on various things (which Governor Joe Brown had done more than once) and leadership progressively transferred from the civilian government to a pseudodictatorship under Lee vaguely similar to what happened in Germany in the last couple years of WWI.

counter factual are fun as hell so long as you acknowledge their ridiculousness. the trouble come when somebody asks for the likely historical ramifications of hitler being a gay black man then gets upset when people start making things up

Yeah, I know, and in time of peace that was fine, but the slave patrols were significantly diminished in number by how many men had been called away to the army, especially late in the war (which many rich planters who had evaded the draft via the twenty negro law were increasingly alarmed at). My bullshit counterfactual runs along the lines of if the war continued past 1865, what are the odds the enslaved population of the South would begin to at least act more aggressively to emancipate themselves, perhaps even rising in open revolt, particularly if we add in elements of outside assistance from Union saboteurs running guns to the slaves (yes I know white Northerners weren't that much keener on arming the slaves themselves shut up we're what-ifing).

there's also the factor of heavily pro-union areas in the mountains. Half of Tennessee was under martial law due to pro union sentiment after it tried to break off

The Charlottesville rally on the 12th is gonna be pretty big I think. From TX fash discord:

Pull in the rest of the south, east coast, etc. and they'll probably have a few hundred I bet. Though as a matter of perspective, before the National Alliance broke apart they managed to get 475 of their members, KKK, Aryan Nations skinheads, etc. to march in Washington D.C. in 2002. Some of the chatter at Stormfront has been mentioning that march in discussion about Unite the Right, so I suppose they've got fond memories of it.

find out where their airbnb is and see if the guy knows he's housing nazis

Italians lost WHITE status after they lost a war against Ethiopia in the 1896.

Oddly enough around that time Ethiopians became Caucasians.

whitness, much like highlanders, is only attained from from killing white people, see also japan after the Russo Japanese War.

Lee's personal opposition to slavery didn't stop him from whipping disobedient slaves while he had them. Personally. Because the punishments he ordered were too inhumane for the overseer.

Also didnt stop him from giving his soldier the thumbs up on kidnapping freemen to get sent back south in chains. gently caress him.

That they were not slaveholders does not mean they had no stake in slavery, nor that they were anything but supporters of it as an institution. Chandra Manning's work on this makes clear that (among other things) for southern soldiers duty to home and state was inextricably and explicitly connected to defense of slavery.

For example: Plantation owners would often rent their slaves out to poorer farmers.
