Russia-Ukraine: Through a Dixian Lens, Part 2

Originally published April 2, 2022, at Dissident Mama.

Knowing full well the avalanche of libel under which Dixie has been buried for far too long, we rebels rightly denounce US propaganda aimed at the Confederacy, our ancestors, heroes, and symbols, and Southern-hate in general. So why embrace the same lies spouted by the same pathological liars and for the very same pathological reasons only when aimed at another country and people group?

Putin is Hitler, just like Robert E. Lee! Let’s regime-change ol’ Vlad right out of Russia’s capital the same way we knocked Lee from his pedestal in the former Capital of the Confederacy! After all, Russian supremacism is racist just like the white-supremacist “heritage not hate” dog whistle made by those deplorable Dixians. Two peas in a hateful ideological pod, so they say.

One of the layers of propaganda to justify nearly any abhorrent, immoral, or illegal act is to establish another country’s leader as a “depraved, blood-thirsty villain” and then demonize its people. Putin is both Hitler and a KGB commie, say the presentists, while Robert E. Lee was a slave-owning, POC-whipping racist and a traitor to American “unity.”

They’re white-hooded trouble-making twins who are anathema to our puritanical-progressive paradise, so do to them what you must, woke warriors! Equality and democracy hang in the balance!

Southern stalwart Richard M. Weaver explained that the Yankee Empire, as the media-contrived “forever good guy,” has to “make ‘perpetual war’ in order to have a distant ‘perpetual peace.’” I mean, there is the “inexcusable resistance of a totally depraved opponent.” How dare these “bad guys” like Putin and Lee push back against the centralized utopian order? Enemies of the state, both of ’em! Off with their heads!

C’mon, y’all. This is all part of the same amped-up lunacy we’ve heard a thousand times before. Beware of playing along for it’s the same totalitarian tidal wave that aims to drown you and yours, Southern man.

As all right-thinking Muricans know, Russians just like Dixians are uneducated, rancorous rubes whose only reason for existence is to bring about “the end of a relatively peaceful global era” – the malevolent myth of the Yankee hegemons which I break down in part 1. The globohomo policies of our depraved overlords could never engender such division and strife. Perish the thought, citizen.

Thus, the dehumanization of Russians and Southerners becomes institutional strategy. We’re both scapegoated as the perpetual foils for progressive power, leading to the “genocidal enmity toward whites and its practical intensification.”

Russians are deemed the New Al Qaeda while real terrorists flood into Ukraine under the guise of humanitarianism, just as Dixians are said to be the biggest terror threat at home while anti-whiteness is unpunished and even celebrated under the banner of “diversity and inclusion.” Statecraft indoctrination is a mighty thing.

People can so easily attack Russian-owned anything since they got so adept at boycotting white-owned businesses that didn’t cave to BLM bullying. They can seamlessly attack Russian churches because they’ve gotten so accustomed to vandalizing and razing Southern monuments, symbols, and graves. Go ahead, toss your Russian Standard right on top of the ash heap where you poured out your Dixie Vodka. It’s all the same thing.

Let us not forget that it was this same governor above who hobnobs with the ADL and has created a “Domestic Terror Task Force” making Texas’ fight against “white supremacy” a top priority. It’s all a diet of disinformation aimed at conservatives and traditionalists, so I urge you to put down the fork.

The Western media wants you to believe that the entire planet also thinks Putin is Hitler. The globalists don’t want you to know that many Ukrainians support him and don’t see the Russians as invaders; rather, they view them as liberators.

Others are thankful that someone is finally standing up to the Yankee Empire which has for so long wreaked murderous havoc in their own homelands. Case in point: the thousands of Serbians who recently marched in Belgrade in support of Russia.

With NATO’s heavy bombing of Serbia both in 1995 and 1999 and the ethnic-cleansing of Serbs it enabled during the March Pogrom in 2004, the Serbs know all too well about Western violence. Yep, the same elites who lecture us about “evil Putin” and “racist Lee” sure do revel in the death of Orthodox Christian minorities and the razing of monuments and graves to our Southern Christian heroes (and the modern anti-Dixie hate to which it leads).

Reznikov (below) is Ukraine’s minister of defense. When any politician non-persons an entire people group and tows the NATO line, you know they’re bought and paid for by the tax-payer-funded Yankee Empire.

We’ve been told “white man bad” for a decade and that “diversity is our strength” and that loving one’s ancestral culture is “racist,” only “black lives matter,” and anything majority white must be immediately extinguished. Yet somehow, we’ve also arrived here. Elite hypocrisy knows no bounds.

No Russian ever called me a white supremacist, a neo-Confederate, or a racist. No Russian ever said “white people have no culture” or that there’s a “problem with white people.” Nope, that’d be my fellow Americans.

In Russia, you can still drink beer with a Battle Flag label. But here in the land of the free, most everything Dixie-related has been eradicated by the same people who tell me “Russian man bad.”

No Russian ever said that Southern monuments and flags are “homages to hate” or that he’d “fight to end the scourge of racism in our country” by blaming me and my children for all acts of racism, real, perceived, or hoax. Nope, that’d our House speaker.

No Russian ever bragged about working hard to “relegate Robert E. Lee to the crypt,” which is right where the Yankee oligarchs want you, Putin (the “evil person doing bad things“), and any Russian or “Russian asset” who doesn’t kneel at the altar of the Yankee Empire.

Maybe the permanent political class doesn’t just get rich off “spreading democracy” at the point of a bayonet. Maybe they actually get their rocks off knowing that American troops are “breathing in toxic smoke from ‘burn pits.’” Maybe doing drugs is how to ease a guilty elitist conscience.

Solzhenitsyn warned about the gulag of the mind. Unfortunately, too many Americans have become willful prisoners to the narrative which is in direct contradiction both to reality and self-interest.

“The psychological weaponisation of war … actively demands a collective suspension of disbelief as it cultivates and redirects a natural reaction of sympathy felt by all into a moral outrage that insists on certain retaliation.” Create a crisis and then milk it for all it’s worth. Sound familiar?

“The DC Matrix … is a strategic power battle for your mind” and “the totality of the inbound bullshit can be destabilizing, overwhelming, and unnerving.” But if you push back? Well, then the CIA asserts that you’re “spreading Kremlin propaganda.” Deflection at its finest.

It’s this same deep-state deceit that cheats a disarmament treaty by having bio-labs in a foreign country, gets found out, and doubles down by alleging that Putin will use these chemical weapons and then he’ll blame the US. It’s “classic Russian technique,” the deep-state dames bellow breathlessly. Nah, that’s what ya call a classic Yankee technique: use a bogeyman to employ a straw man. Don’t fall for it.

The pearl-clutchers at Think Progress wrote back in 2017 about “fake Russian feeds” that “pushed Confederate nostalgia, anti-LGBT rhetoric, and pro-secession sentiment” and featured “extremist” images like that of Captain Confederate (seen below). Sure, “Russiagate” was proven to be a hoax perpetrated by the Obama administration.

However, it is the caterwauling claims that stick with people, forever linking “textbook Russian propaganda” and “Russian disinformation campaigns” with the South and “lost cause” mythology. It’s an easy sell, since the ruling class and their followers see Russians and Dixians as the same: low-IQ traditionalists, backwoods religious zealots, and dispensable nuisances.

Let’s not forget too that this this alleged “‘Russian propaganda‘ is the latest excuse to expand censorship” among anyone who dissents to globohomo. Remember last spring when Biden laid the groundwork for tackling Russian assets right on the heels of “hate speech” laws aptly handling the “neo-Confederate menace” since 2017?

Now, Biden ups the ante, implying that lynching, of all things, is a current problem and murder is a federal (not a state) issue. He knows simply uttering the word “lynching” spreads the fiction that it was a strictly white-on-black crime and one only carried out by Southerners. Reminds me of when #StopAsianHate was sold as “white-supremacist hate crimes” yet was/is overwhelmingly perpetrated by non-whites. Facts be damned!

Disavowing and virtue signaling are two of the most powerful weapons the ruling class uses to control a population. It not only propagates the globohomo narrative, but it chills speech and further marginalizes folks who dissent to the status quo.

Anyone pro-family, pro-gun, pro-white, pro-Southern, pro-liberty, anti-lockdown-and-jab, anti-censorship, anti-open-borders, anti-CRT, or anti-deep-state should take note. You are the archetype for every insidious plan the elites conjure up. Isn’t it time to stop handing them the damn bludgeon by which you are constantly struck?

In fact, it is the forked Faustian tongue of neoconservatism and neoliberalism which lays “the blame for the invasion at the feet of American nationalists and paleoconservatives. They’ve labeled restrainers Russian stooges, or variations of the term, and preemptively impugned them for what some already describe in terms of an impending Holocaust.”

Republican Mike Pence declared, “There is no room in this party for apologists for Putin. There is only room for champions of freedom.” The GOP establishment in the uniparty is also using “the present Russo-Ukrainian military conflict as a way to consolidate its hold over the party and purge people who deviate from neoconservative strictures.” He and Killary: War-mongering birds of a feather.

The Yankee Empire loathes us and everything we stand for. The elites “do not uphold the interests of Middle America. In fact, they are openly hostile towards Middle Americans and labor assiduously to dispossess them.”

Make no mistake: this isn’t a Democrat-vs-Republican thing either. This is a uniparty thing. “Conservatives” worship globalism as much as do liberals. It’s a shell game to increase their power, diminish your civil rights, and take your money. If you’re parroting their agitprop, you’re being played.

It’s not only the politicians either. Their gatekeepers in institutional media want you to fear conformist backlash so much so that you won’t question any evil they do or any lie the tell. It’s all part of the social conditioning which was perfected under covid. Don’t comply, rebels!

Never forget that this is the same Yankee system that has pulled the wool over citizens’ eyes with other fantastical stories in order to bait America into war and gin up patriotic support. From yellow cake in Iraq and Saddam’s men throwing babies from incubators, to chemical attacks by Assad in Syria, to the Gulf of Tonkin, to the Lusitania, to the USS Maine, to Fort Sumter. False flags are nothing new when it comes to the military-industrial complex. Take heed.

Neither are sanctions and corporate cancel culture, which are supposedly meant to hurt Russians, but Natasha above doesn’t seems to care. Instead, it us who will feel the pain.

Even though “you can print money, but not oil to heat or wheat to eat,” the ruling class will fare just fine while we in middle America suffer the consequences of their globalist actions. It’s really not that shocking since punishing us with poverty is kinda the Yankee thing. But still, it’s Putin’s fault, folks: not the Fed!

Meanwhile, Congress is doling out more of your money ($14 billion to be exact) to aid Ukraine while in the same breath the elites insist it’s your patriotic duty to embrace inflation, and the Twitter twats assure non-urban Americans that exorbitant gas prices are good for their lazy, white asses. Thank goodness the Yankees are here to re-educate us plebs in the ways of their forward thinking while that fascist Putin wants to take you back to the Dark Ages, just like that nostalgic neanderthal Robert E. Lee.

So while the war-mongers are trying their best to kill two rebel birds with one hegemonic stone, let’s drink our Russian Vodka and our Dixie vodka or shine, fly our Battle Flag and the Novorossiya colors, read Dostoyevsky and Faulkner, listen to Tchaikovsky and Skynyrd. Maybe even get some Confederate general Matryoshka dolls while you’re at all your globohomo-resistin’!

It’s waaaaaay past time for a paradigm shift, y’all, especially when the gluttonous, godless elites are backing legit Nazis in Ukraine. In case you don’t know about that hedonism and hypocrisy, I’ll wrap up my series by digging into that for part 3. Stay tuned.
