Why is the American "Alt-Right" distancing themselves from the confederacy and the U.S. south?
I just find it a little ironic considering that it was the ex-confederate states and their populations which did the most to keep the right wing alive throughout the 20th century and up until the age of the internet. Now you have so many kids on the "Alt-Right" saying things like "The Confederacy was Jewish" "Abraham Lincoln wanted to send the slaves back" "The KKK is just to make whites looks bad and a false flag" and so on. Yet without it the people loosely grouped into the "Alt-Right" have pretty much no roots or core to hang on to, which is why you have shit like mestizos and MENA tagging along with them, all the other bizarre shit that has become a staple of the right-wing in youth circles. What's the point of a political ideology that has no basis in an actual culture and community?
Whatever you opinion on the right wing in general you can't deny, there is a split between southern right wingers and right wingers who are not from the south, or kids from the south who are heavily urbanized.
