In light of the detestable decision of the Virginia Military Institute’s decision to remove a monument to one of her founding professors, and arguably one of her greatest generals, Stonewall Jackson, it is time to write this piece. It is time to focus our efforts on ending the South’s military service on behalf of global degeneracy. It is time to stop dying for an Empire that hates you.
The defining moment in 2016 for me, back when I was a salty, Libertarian-leaning Rand Paul fan, was an incident I witnessed in Eastern Tennessee that contrasted sharply with a DC-based academic/policy group to which I had formerly been associated. I was on a seventeen-state tour. My company was closed and I was writing for a publication at the time. On one of my regional stops, I watched as a funeral for a young Marine was held. The mother was devastated. The family grieved. This young boy, whose age I do not know, was returning to his hometown to be buried close to kin. It was a heartbreaking sight. Later that evening, I witnessed laughter – not in person – but online. Elites, many of whom were (at that time) current Obama or former Bush Administration officials, were going through their routine disdain for the South and her “stupid, inbred sons.” These same perverse creatures were very happy to send Southern boys to die for globalist objectives under the guise of patriotism and yet, all they had was pure hatred for the very same constituency that was growing toward Trump at that time.
The funeral really hit home to me on a number of levels. First, I am a former active duty Marine. Seeing a Marine buried is personal. Second, I am a father and a stepfather. At the time, one of my sons had signed for the Delayed Entry Program with the military. Setting my own loss aside, I would be crushed to have to console his mother in such a circumstance as that which I witnessed in Tennessee. Third, my final direct contract for the U.S. Government was the collection and repatriation of remains that were too hard to identify back to a laboratory in Tampa for piecing those remains together and identifying the victim. I had been in conflict zones around the world numerous times and my final job was the collection of human beings – that for all I knew, may have belonged to that young boy whose mother was now grieving. Consequently, the outright disdain by former colleagues and classmates for a region that sends so many of her young men to die in foreign wars absolutely infuriated me. It was a turning point in my life. It was also a wake-up call.
It is time to stop serving them.
The U.S. Government does not fear Southern Nationalism because it fears a redo of secession. They are confident they can beat the South – again. Ask any detractor of gun rights and you will easily find numerous leftist Yankees remind you of the overwhelming power of the U.S. Government. “What will your rifles do against drones, bro?” (Ask the Afghans…) But the U.S. Government fears one aspect of Southern Nationalism and it is racing to address the issue head on: what if Southern Nationalism resonates so deeply in Southern young men that it deprives the Empire of its janissary class? That would be devastating to a country that makes Hollywood and Wall Street profits at the expense of Southern blood – blood that they completely despise to their very core.
Regardless as to who wins on November 3, 2020, it is time to stop fighting for a dying Empire that hates you, Southern Man.
Since its conquest in the mid-19th Century, the South has disproportionately sent her native sons to die for an empire that hates her. To be fair, the majority of troops are not technically considered “Southern” by statisticians. Approximately, 40% of the U.S. Military derives from the region defined as the “South.” Per the same 2018 article from which I took that statistic, that region is confined to an area that comprises Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas. It does not include former border state areas that include Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland – areas with clear Southern identities outside of the main cities. It also does not include Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico – former Confederate territories – or Texas. Texas, a state that provides the second largest number of recruits annually (after California) are placed in a separate Southwest category. Add those additional territories, border states, and Texas, and you get an enlisted military that is in excess of 58% Southern.
But, it gets worse for the Southern dependent U.S. military.
The military’s statistics on demographic origin of military personnel does not distinguish between black and White. Approximately 16% of the U.S. military is black. The same report indicates that today’s military is comprised of 57% non-Hispanic White. It is hard to determine whether blacks from urban centers in the North and West equal the same number of recruits as blacks from the South. The larger proportional populations of blacks in the South as a percentage of population seems to be offset by the generally larger populations of blacks in major urban environments. States such as Michigan and Pennsylvania are proportionately less black than Mississippi or Georgia, but they have greater numbers. For example, less than 6% of the population of California is black, however that number constitutes approximately 2.5 million black people (out of a population of approximately 39.5 million). By contrast, Alabama has a population of 4.9 million, of which, 25% of the population is black – approximately 1.25 million. Consequently, we can evenly distribute the 16% of blacks evenly to the Southern demographic profile because the greater numbers offset the greater proportions. Now, given that Hispanics outside of Florida and Texas are nominally present throughout the South, that brings the total number of White Southerners, including Texas, the border states, and former CSA territories, at a conservative estimate military enlisted at 48% Southern Whites (.58 x .16 = .0928). Can this number be increased by the number of Hispanic Whites, such as Cubans from Florida, who identify as White? That is hard to say.
Regardless, the Southern White commands, at a minimum, a major plurality of the military’s enlisted personnel. That does not even speak to its officer corps. If the Empire loses Southern recruits in an all-volunteer military, that is devastating to its globalist agenda – and the military seems to know this fact. Consequently, while the military races to eliminate Southern iconography, such as the Confederate Battle Flag, and empowers more minority-female officers to positions for which they are wholly unqualified, it is correspondingly shifting its recruitment efforts toward urban pockets and away from the South. Something is changing here and it is evident in the military’s recent troubles filling its recruitment goals.
How has the Southern Janissary benefitted from his sacrifice over generations? He has not. Worse, why sacrifice at all?
Ask yourself this, Southern father – do you want your son to fight and die in a war for the expansion of gay marriage, transgender freakdom, usury, abortion, the devaluation of masculinity, and atheism? Do you want your son to fight in wars that are expressly against God? If you honestly believe that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, how can you support the exportation of anti-Biblical degeneracy? How can you support wars that perpetuate the transgender conversion of young boys in places like Afghanistan for the sexual pleasure of older men at will? Worse, why sacrifice your son at the altar of Satanic ideals when the very people sending them to fight for Satanic principles are laughing at their blood sacrifice in Yankee media centers?
I am no longer a street activist. I believe it was misdirected in the past (at best). But, think of the incredible impact Southern Nationalist street activists could have if they refocused their efforts toward asking would-be Southern recruits these questions before they walked into a military recruitment center. More importantly, what if former janissaries asked these young men the very same questions I posited above outside of a Marine Corps enlistment center… the impact could be far greater than any march to preserve a monument.
If there is anywhere Southern Nationalism can have its greatest impact it is ending the American Janissary class. It is time to stop sending our young boys to die for wars of globalist degeneracy. No where can Southern Nationalism have a greater impact than upon the very recruiters who exploit our martial spirit for Hollywood and Wall Street profits.
This would be the first step of genuine Dixie independence.
The son of a recent Irish immigrant and another with roots to Virginia since 1670. I love both my Irish and Southern Nations with a passion. Florida will always be my country. Dissident support here: Padraig Martin is Dixie on the Rocks (buymeacoffee.com)
Excellent, brother. Hear, hear!
Been saying the same thing for many years now. In Dixie land I’ll take my stand. Not in Afghanistan or Iraq or Iran or Somalia or Syria or Germany or the United kingdom or South Korea or Vietnam or…..got the point now?
My husband is a veteran of Vietnam and both of us worked like crazy to stop the Iraq War. Why either of us thought that possible is something I wonder about to this day. Being stupid boomer, I reckon. Anyway, the ONLY positive thing to come out of ANY of that work was that he successfully prevented one of his nephews from signing up. Oh, and I did learn an overdue lesson that the antiwar movement as a whole has the same contempt for us that the US government does. It’s not that either of us are pacifists, although I do strongly believe that Christians should always stand ready to suffer for the cause of peaceableness. (But if peace turns out to just not be possible, well then ….)
Anyway, amen, amen, and amen to this post. I am a Southern woman who votes, although somedays I wonder why …
The best article I have read on any website all year. Why should we serve for a country that wants to destroy our past and the beautiful memorials that our Southern ancestors scraped money together to have created? This is an excellent way to show our resentment. Makes me feel betrayed for serving, and then have these people constantly wiping away any memory of my ancestors’ sacrifices.
Couldn’t agree more!
I thought about this a long time ago. I thought that Southern Nationalists should concentrate on recruiting offices, to discourage as many enlistments as they can.
As an aside, I notice that Northerners are proud of the war that they fought against their own country. But their performance in America’s other wars is spotty at best. To the extent they even bothered, or bother, to show up at all.
VMI, like so much of the the so called “Southern Leadership” exemplifies the cowardly and disgusting surrender to the anti White System. I think Washington and Lee took down the Confederate flags in Lee’s tomb based on a “committee” of several Negro students who so demanded – I guess “their” wish is “our” command ? I grieve for Dixie.
I appreciate the spirit but many families and public school fail young men. The US military helps kick-start many into becoming men with a fine work ethic. We are looking down the barrel of a technocracy that will make survival as autonomous sovereigns ever more difficult. Unless we can personally provide jobs and a strong community, I’d be reluctant to advise any 18-24 yr. old, white male needing direction to not consider the military. Looking back the causalities of the past 19 years, white males are disproportionately represented. Probably due to choosing combat MOSs. The warrior spirit lives in many young men. Maybe we should protect them from unscrupulous recruiters. Get these kids a better contract;-)
Well while I agree, that does not mean that we can hope to survive intact as a people without the ability to defend ourselves. We don’t have to serve the Empire, but we must train every Southern young man to be a soldier and a capable officer, for the South and our people, in our own way.
The military is where our culture of manhood is passed down as well, its not just a soldier factory. By allowing our boys and men to be trained by Yankees that have carpetbagged their way into our home and taken VMI, we have corrupted that culture and it will take a lot of work to restore it to not only the legendary force it once was, but also as a hotbed of our culture of honor and Brotherhood, an actual Christian foundation and steeped in history and populated by us, answerable to us and not politicians and certainly not a “Commander and chief”, I mean you might as well say king at that point. It will have to be funded and armed as well.
Its a hell of a lot of work to do it right, but you cant just say “don’t train as a solider”, we must. If we can’t defend and enforce our borders then we have no borders, as is the case now. We have to unite as a people, a race, and a nation. We can not just become couch potatoes, scattered to the wind. We must organize.
