Southern Nationalism or a New Union?

Dixie is, unquestionably, a unique ethno-cultural region within the greater American Empire. Our shared history, identity, folkways, etc. makes us distinct. However, there are some people in other regions, indeed also within Dixie herself, who ask: “Do all these things really make us a separate nation? Should we really try to separate from the rest of America, with whom we also share common blood and history?” At first glance, these questions may make one hesitate. After all, a DNA test of a random Southerner could very well look the same as a random White American from elsewhere.

Nothing unites a similar, but disunited, people more than a common adversary. This is historically how warring tribes have managed to put aside their squabbles and unite into bigger polities. This is what happened when the competing American colonies seceded from Great Britain. Our own Southern identity was birthed during the struggle against the federal government, and really took concrete form after 1865, when States that had been internally divided now stood solidly against a humiliating occupation. This certainly gives Dixie a stronger claim of “separateness” with its own nationality when compared to other regions.

Yet couldn’t this same logic be applied to our struggle today? All (real) Americans are facing demographic replacement at the behest of an anti-White coalition: turncoats, non-Christians, degenerates, and other assorted malcontents of varying shades of brown. We all observe the same rhetorical White-bashing in the media, and literal White-bashing in the streets. We’re all dealing with rising inflation. We’ve all seen family or friends struggle with drug abuse or mental illness. Anyone with a brain can observe our civilization collapsing in slow-motion.

Common adversary, common race, and common struggle. All the elements are seemingly there to unite Heritage Americans back into one big happy family. Heck, you could even say Canada meets the criteria, too, if you’re dreaming big enough. Another attempt at a “more perfect Union” may seem like the right solution to pursue.

However, there’s a major problem with this line of thinking. If Dixie were cut loose from federal control, we would undoubtedly get our own affairs in order. The same can’t be said of other regions within the Empire. There are no guarantees that places like New York or California will shape themselves into entities that would be friendly to Dixie. It would be foolish and potentially fatal to shackle ourselves to a solution which may never manifest, no matter how appealing the idea of a North American Imperium sounds (in theory). These other places will have to fix their own problems before we can entertain future possibilities. Race is important, but culture matters, too.

I, for one, am all for unity and good feelings among White nations. A new political arrangement based on mutual respect and a shared worldview is possible, but Dixie can only make this choice once we are a free nation, secure from coercion, and, if necessary, able to go our own way. Whatever comes later, secession is the very first step!

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.
