I have, for as long as I have been interested in politics, been a man of the Right. I am a Dixian. I love the Right and I love Dixie. And, that is why it pains me to see so many traditional, right-wing Dixians absolutely clueless when it comes to understanding the future of the Empire. Below are a few examples of the excuses I hear on why everything is going to be okay. But, it’s not going to be okay, life will get much more uncomfortable as the Empire declines.
“Don’t worry, the Constitution will protect us.”
I see this one mostly from middle-class folks who don’t want to upset Amazon (or some other company). Even if we ignore the fact that the Constitution isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, it doesn’t matter. The Establishment and their antifa foot-soldiers don’t have to jail you for anything you say, all they have to do is make you permanently unemployable or underemployed. Oh, you posted a Confederate flag meme on Facebook? You’d better hope and pray an antifa cyberstalker doesn’t contact your employer (in an at-will state).
Capitalism has never been a friend of traditionalists- by its very nature it must continue to change. But, in the past few years this tendency has become far more explicit and politically progressive (“woke” capitalism). Anytime a state decides to take a stand on any sort of right-wing cause, other than more tax cuts and deregulation, it is almost a given that several major corporations, mostly in the tech and entertainment industries, will threaten to pull out. In turn, state leadership, along with the lukewarm Chamber of Commerce, buckles. Rinse and repeat. A similar, although not exact, process occurs at the employer level. Eventually, the cause is abandoned or the employee is fired.
Right now, as long as we’re politically powerful enough to create even a modicum of pushback in red states, woke capitalism will continually threaten to economically destroy them. When that ends, the Left, and its coalition of HR catladies, crusty street brawlers and online SJW cultists, will go after you individually. And, none of that will violate the Constitution. It doesn’t matter though, you’re still unemployed.
“I have my guns.”
This isn’t Red Dawn. Saying, “I have my guns” is a totally useless gesture, unless you say it too much and you get red-flagged.
One of the methods of our current political system is to isolate you from your friends and family. You will be called a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc. and those around you will be told that unless they disown you, they will be labeled one of those things as well. Do not think this cannot happen. In the Soviet Union people would frequently show their loyalty to the communist order by denouncing their conservative, religious family members in the newspaper. This is already happening to dissidents – several people have been doxxed by their own family members.
While it is true that a lot of what happened during the Soviet period was due to people actually embracing communism, not all of it was. Some of it was just expediency and safety. No one wants to be persecuted and sent to a gulag. Morally soft people made the choice to sacrifice a family member, instead of take a chance. It won’t just be the true believers that will come after you, it will be those that just want to fit in and feel safe. How will guns protect you from the loss of friends and family?
This also plays into why you will be persecuted. Remember, the Christians of pagan Rome were not persecuted for proclaiming the very core of Christianity, that Christ is God, but rather because they would not call the Emperor divine. Likewise, you will not be persecuted for belief in the Trinity, but because you agree with 2,000 years of Christian teaching on sex. Nor will you be persecuted for saying “y’all,” but because you refuse to denounce your ancestors as evil.
Trust me, many of those around you will try to convince you that the demands of our enemy are really not “that big of a deal” and you should just “go along with it.”
“Jesus will come back before anything really bad happens.”
Eventually, yes. However, no nation’s Christians are guaranteed that before any persecution comes. The Christians of the Roman Empire didn’t nor did the Christians of the Soviet Union. What makes you think America will be any different?
Some of the greatest Christians to ever live- St. Paul, St. Peter, St. Andrew and many others all met violent ends. I do not expect God to give me any protections He did not give those men. There is a certain “America-centeredness” prominent in American Christianity that frankly boarders on idolatry. America is not special enough for Christians to escape persecution when the Empire becomes even more anti-Christian. As much as I love Dixie, neither is she. Yes, Jesus will come back, but no one but the Father knows when this will be- so don’t think that will be your ticket to avoid persecution or hard times. That is a cop-out, it is an excuse to do nothing.
Solutions?
The Right must face the simple fact that there is no silver bullet out of this crisis. The solution isn’t electing more Republicans (unless you want more jingoism abroad), more deregulation and tax cuts or guns. It’s certainly not wanton violence either. Even certain nationalist policies, such as enforcing anti-trust legislation and encouraging more Dixian and Heritage American births- will fix the problem only in the short term. Shoring up our declining birthrates, though critical, will take two generations or more to fully pan out.
In reality, it will take several items, all working together, to get us out of this crisis. Also, it is very important to focus on what to do during the American decline – buying from locally owned stores is a good example. We should support our people. If you are able, starting a business that can provide a stable family wage is a major step forward. Network with like-minded people and create a community. This will help our people that get fired and provide a support structure.
We are right now in the midst of a major crisis. One that is partly the result of a foreign occupation, but one that is also our own doing. There is no easy way out, there’s no shortcut home. To think otherwise is foolish and shortsighted. Short-term thinking is for little men.
We’re in this for the long haul and our thoughts should reflect that way of thinking.

O I’m a good old rebel, now that’s just what I am. For this “fair land of freedom” I do not care at all. I’m glad I fit against it, I only wish we’d won, And I don’t want no pardon for anything I done.
Too many purposefully bred fools all around to make any real changes. The sheep are easily led around by the wolves in shepherds’ clothing, or preoccupied with all of their ‘bread and circuses’. Looking forward to a good strike from a meteor to reboot this planet, and save us from the impending clowntopia.
Great article. I would love to network with other local Southerners, but how? The days of a 40 hour work week are long gone. Social activities are very rare and usually generic, not me and my people gathered to fellowship and orginze. Just generic places with almost random people. We are being overun by every type of foreigner, mostly yankees. We must identify excatly who we are, cast out the traitors among us and close the books on who gets to call themselves Southerners. The do nothings can be handled with shame, a lot of them do nothing because there is no consequence and every reward. An example of what I mean is, back in the day, if you ran from battle or shamed us, they would nail your name on a piece of paper to the Church door. We could do simular things for do nothings (maybe not that harsh for being idle) but something. Before that can take place we have to know who we are, who we are not and who is profiting off of our cultural murder. We have to say who we are and then close the books or we will cease to exsist. Geographic locations can no longer be allowed to define “Southern”. I cant tell you how many yankees are down here talking about drinking sweet tea makes them a Southerner as much as me. That has to end. First I need to know how to locate my brothers and how to orginze. As I said, we work way more than 40 hours a week so we have to plan for that. Also before you reply “just go to Church” that alone does not cut it anymore. We have to orginze.
