Some years back, I came across a couple YouTube videos in which the respective persons who made each video discussed why they left, or were going to leave, America. Whereas the typical videos I have encountered regarding this topic usually come from insipid middle-class types who leave for degenerate or leftist reasons, these two videos in particular addressed the topic from a rightwing perspective. What I found so enthralling about these monologues were the stories each person associated with their decision, as well as, the relatively normal demeanor they exhibited. I will cite the videos here and here.
As Independence Day passed us by, I couldn’t help but think about those two videos. I admittedly do still feel a bit of a nostalgic connection to the Fourth of July, but I cannot bring myself to hold that same connection to America and have not for several years now. I will explain why.
I will just say it outright: I do not love the United States of America anymore. I did once, most of my life, in fact. I did not believe Dixie should secede until around 21 years of age. I grew up in a very pro-America household which also held a great amount of love for the South. I have always loved Dixie. Growing up, my mother hung on the wall a framed, vintage promotional poster for Gone with the Wind, and my grandparents used to read us Uncle Remus stories about Br’er Rabbit. However, it was not until around 2015 when my patriotic disposition began to crack. I am sure any reader here knows what happened that year. The double whammy of the Obgerfell v Hodges Supreme Court ruling, forcing homosexual marriage on all states in the Union, and the beginning of our current Reconstruction took place in rapid succession, and the Republican Party embraced both with ecstatic celebration.
That moment broke my loyalty to the GOP, I had up until that point believed this was the conservative party. It was difficult for me to believe that descriptor after they swept the gay marriage issue under the rug and kickstarted the removal of Southern imagery from the public, spearheading the malicious campaign our people have endured for the past seven years all thanks to Nikki Haley. While it may have begun my path of disillusionment with the United States, I would not come to embrace secession until a couple years later.
To be frank, my current position on secession is the result of a lifetime of compounding factors. For as long as I can remember, White Southerners, often of Protestant extract, have been portrayed as the villains in all facets of television and film media available. Furthermore, we have always been painted as the foremost racist, backward, inbred, misogynistic, uncultured heathen population of America who “hold us back” as a political voting bloc. It is ceaseless. I actually remember seeing on the news many years ago that the Obama administration directly disparaged their employees for having Southern accents. With all the pearl clutching regarding Southern racism, the argument can be made that non-Southerners were the most racist of them all. Each and every one of the trustworthy Piney Woods elders in the Deep South I have asked about the topic of racism during Jim Crow have told me that race relations during the time were fairly amicable until the Civil Rights Era started, and this was in the supposedly most racist region of America. Even that liberal sellout Haley Barbour purported this claim. George Wallace was correct when he claimed to CIA agent Bill Buckley that Southern cities were less publicly segregated than Northern cities.
Of course, there are more factors contributing to my secessionist paleoconservatism. I could cite America’s love for homosexuals and transsexuals and all manner of sexual degeneracy. I could mention its avid love for allowing women to do as they please uninhibited, including the gruesome murder of their own children. I could display its intense desire to emasculate every White male born on its soil. I could also detail its hatred for anything resembling Christian decency and family values. Lastly, I could ramble tirelessly about how all of this compounds so as to drive down the birthrate of the Heritage American population.
Naturally, our overlords take it a step further than just media propaganda and social deviance. They have wholly rewritten and outright omitted our history. For the most part, Southern history today is just slavery and the Civil Rights Era. It rarely delves deeper than that. When it does, it is usually just cherry-picked instances of “extremist racism” with no actual context provided and no primary sources cited, Reconstruction being a prime example. Every single cotton pickin’ year when I was in elementary, middle, and high school, we waxed poetically about the struggles of Negroes during the Jim Crow Era, in the midst of Black History Month of course, in a small rural town in the Deep South. I was never interested in this topic and had a fascination back then with learning about wars and battles. This was not even some thought out racial or biased stance I had regarding Negro history; it simply did not spark my interest as a Caucasian male from a rural area in the Deep South. The list of examples goes on and on, and at no point during my education did anyone address the situation from the Southern perspective. I will refrain from delving into the defenses of Jim Crow, but if you are looking for any, I suggest you read this essay.
Bringing this back to my original inspiration for writing this, arguably the single greatest act of Yankee historiographic tomfoolery is the narrative of the American Revolution. Simply stated, Yankees started it; Southerners finished it. I am sure a few readers may be shocked to learn that, but it is true. America was not founded at Plymouth Rock. America was not solely founded as a Puritan pilgrim paradise for radical religious separatists in New England. The American Revolution was not won by abolitionist New Englanders. It was won by Southerners. In fact, the state with the highest number of American Revolution battles fought on its soil is South Carolina. In the end, the British Army surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia. The country would then go on to be primarily ruled by Southerners up until 1860.
I simply cannot be an American patriot any longer. I abandoned that stance several years ago. The degeneracy, anti-White narratives, maliciously anti-Southern propaganda, suppression of Dixie’s symbols, the division of the sexes, the open borders to the third world, relentless demoralization via news media and education system, it all adds up. Heck, it pains me to even hear Southerners sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic now, a song I once enjoyed before learning its history. All of that said, I do not disparage Southerners for celebrating Independence Day. After all, we are the ones who won the war.
“The White people of the South are the greatest minority in this nation. They deserve consideration and understanding instead of the persecution of twisted propaganda.” –Strom Thurmond
A good article that I’m sure speaks to the sentiments of all of us. Thanks for including the video of the 100-year-old marine. I’m sure he’s feeling now what Patton must have felt before they ‘put him down’.
A few quotes:
“The first battlefield is to rewrite history. … Communism abolishes eternal truths … and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience.”
Karl Marx
“The war between the North and the South is a tariff war. The war is furthered, not for any principle, does not touch the question of slavery, and, in fact, turns on the Northern lust for sovereignty.”
Karl Marx, ‘Die Presse’, October 1861.
“The doctrine is simply this: That the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination – “that government of the people, by the people, for the people,” should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in that battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves.”
H.L. Mencken, ‘On Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address’
“Lincoln, the American party leader, masquerading as a saint, is the new idea of a politician. His pretense was humanitarianism; his result was unlimited finance capitalism over a continent; his technic was the spoils system.”
Francis P. Yockey, ‘Imperium’
Our enemies know what they’re about and how to accomplish their ends. They did it in Christian Russia 100 years ago and Christian Germany 75 years ago. Now they’re doing it to their bankrupt and used up host: America.
Nice quotes brother!
Regarding the Revolution, especially as it relates to southerners, I would also add that, by and large, most people in the colonies did not want total separation from the Crown. I am of the opinion that the Loyalists were right and that, contrary to popular belief, it was our very first civil war. Southerners were the most loyal of all British America’s subjects, and that was a good thing. In fact, that is the entire reason the British abandoned the northern theatre and redirected the war effort in the Southland; there was a greater concentration of Loyalists there. Although many Southerners eventually came to embrace total independence (which, over time, became part of the Southern identity) this was still a very complex situation in the South. Whereas in the North, where the entire Loyalist population was either killed or driven off their land and exiled to Canada or Great Britain, southern Loyalists (who mostly outnumbered Whig rebels) mostly stayed in their respective home regions after the war ended. As a result, the war was ten times more bloody and tension far greater in a bitterly divided South. The war was really more of a civil conflict between Whigs and Tories than it was between “American and British”; there were entire battles like King’s Mountain where the British side was comprised of all American-born Loyalists. Most people are also unaware of the fact that these same exact hostilities existed in the Mother Country across the big pond as well. There, it was a war of words, fought solely in the halls of Parliament.
South Carolina was one of the most loyal of all the British American colonies. This is why they were also one of the last to concede to the separation. It could be reasonably argued that most of the Southern colonies only agreed to separation from the Crown once it became clear that there was no going back.
I’m pretty sure I’m about your age and grew up in the same vicinity. As an adult, I am a bit shocked at the yankee-fied version of the Antebellum South and the Civil War we were taught in South Carolina public school.
But I came to the conclusion a few years ago that the only way liberty and a society built on the principles of the American Founders to survive, is to separate it from the leftist influence. Since then I want secession, or a National divorce of some sort. Anything else is just putting a band aid on a severed limb.
This was a powerful and frank article Mr. Wasp. You put into words what many of us think. Thank you.

May the South be independent once more.
“I will just say it outright: I do not love the United States of America anymore.”
I never did.
Since 1860, the North has totally dominated the federal government, pop culture, and the media.
The Northern People, and their political and business leaders, have used this near absolute power to enforce the definition of themselves and their sixteen states, as being exclusively the “United States of America.”
And to define the rest of us, and our states, as mere colonial territories and subordinate subjects.
( They’re upset about the recent ruling on abortion, because it means that they cannot impose their will on their subordinate subjects in the colonial territories. Not because they actually care about women, or their health. This is why they hate true federalism, and the Constitution. It threatens their usurped rule and authority, and their rights and liberty, to stomp on ours)
They’ve also conflated Northern Nationalism, and Northern regional interests, with those of the United States as a whole. And put forth their own interests as being of national importance, under the guise of “patriotism.”
It’s no coincidence that, with very few exceptions, virtually every president, after Andrew Johnson, has been from one of the sixteen Northern States.
This is why, when I hear media personalities jibber jabbering about “America®,” I pay them no mind, because I know that they’re just talking about New York, or New Jersey, or Wisconsin and Iowa. Not the America that I’m thinking of.
That song; “America,” by Simon and Garfunkel, sums it up. It isn’t a song. It’s a song fragment, without a beginning, or an end, and a middle that babbles something about Michigan and New York and New Jersey.
I agree with everything you say, but would ask you to consider further that the ‘Northern States’ are just the fulcrum being used by a global power to bring every individual on the planet into their web.
