#if asked id pick up my .38 for dixie.

[junkyardromeo]

I just saw an interview of a journalist calling the current period "a new American Civil War without gunshots" in the sense that it is like if there was two countries stuck together in the same governmental apparatus and that some states no longer want to live with the others. And that neither parties are helping it. I found it an interesting point of view and was wondering: Would you agree with his statement?

P.S. I translated it from French at the best of my knowledge, so I might have lost a bit of nuances, but the main ideas are there.

i agree n think that’s there’s gonna be gunshots soon. m a little drunk rn but they say booze brings out honesty so imma just be real. if they asked me to pick up a gun rn n fight for the south rn then i fuckin would. i ain’t in favor of neither political party n personally i find neither the democrats neither the republicans support what i support. if forced to back a party i’d back the right, but i don’t agree with neither of them. hell, we got a damn so called left wing president n he’s backin genocide. n i don’t fuck w that. but at my damn roots im a son of the south n id back the south in any damn war cuz you better fuckin believe i’d fight for dixie before id fight for anything else. i own a gun n while i’d use it if i have to, id rather not to, but i tell ya, if i thought dixie was in danger, i would. it ain’t no secret where my loyalties lie. there conspiracy theories sayin that we got a new civil war n florida’s gonna secede from the union. n if they did, i ain’t got no doubt that south carolina’d be next. we was first last time n aint got no doubt we’d do it again. hell, secession hall ain’t but half mile from where i am rn. n if it came to that, i’d back dixie. i got my reasons to not, but i weren’t raised to be no damn coward. if i was asked to raise a damn gun for dixie, i would. ain’t no different that 1860 whatever im too damn drunk to think of years rn im fuckin slumped over the curb rn but i know where my damn morals lie n my morals lie with dixie. if i was asked id raise a damn gun like it was the first civil war. i don’t stand for no hate or no racism but i stand for dixie. n thats til i fuckin die. sure, cali calls in the night but i belong to dixie n i will til the day i die. that say you can take the boy from the south but you can’t take the south from the boy n that’s damn true. i stand for dixie til the day i die. n if i start sayin i don’t, you can go ahead n bury me. the day i don’t stand for dixie is the day im dead. n back to your point, i do agree. dixie don’t necessarily wanna stand with the us of a because they ain’t holdin true the values we hold true. the south stands for freedom n honesty n a specific moral code that ain’t bein held up by the united states government right now. we’d rather hold our own than stand for whatever bullshit the us of a has come to stand for. this ain’t the america we know n it ain’t the america us southerners are gonna stand for. i ain’t gonna speak for no one else but i stand for the brand of new confederates that stand for freedom n life n tradition n the south. i ain’t gonna stand for no terrorism or my fuckin tax dollars goin to genocide or racism or classism or any of that shit. i stand for man as his own god n i stand for freedom n i stand for dixie. i stand for my home n i stand for this land n again, i stand for freedom n i stand for dont fuckin tread on me. amen.
