For those who don’t know already, I have an ongoing series called “Checkmate, Atun-Shei,” which is where I analyze his videos, criticize them, and make some jokes at his expense. If you want to watch, here’s a playlist of the series.
Checkmate, Atun-Shei!

A quote from Cicero on the back of a Confederate headstone.
These things happen because our generation knows nothing of the past, neither ancient or recent; only the present materialism of the here and now.

On today's Depths of DS9: Rom goes full Rom Emmanuel when he stages a strike at Quark's Bar while quoting Karl Marx (no, I am not exaggerating)!
"Bar Association"! Exclusively on Unauthorized TV:
Pictured below is also the worst general of the American Civil War. If any man can be blamed for the blunder that was the Peninsula Campaign, Lincoln would be tied with Allan “there are 180,000 Confederates Defending Richmond” Pinkerton.

All I have to say is that Robert E. Lee was a good man and Atun-Shei's character assassination attempts are the most vile things I have ever witnessed.
The ANV suffered 121,000 casualties throughout the entire duration of the war.
The AOP under grant suffered 94,000 casualties in less than a year, which was nearly double the number of losses Lee sustained in the same period (50,000-55,000).
The militia force - numbering 125-150 men - faced off against 1,300 Union Cavalry. Most of them were killed, wounded, or captured.
Pictured below are two of those militiamen.
On June 9th, 1864 a small group of Petersburg home guard, made up of young boys and old men arose to the sounds of Church bells as Gillmore's Cavalry advanced towards to city. The Home Guard were forced back into the city, after which Beauregard brought up reinforcements.
There are no “good cases” for removing Confederate Monuments.
Anyone who argues for their removal will inevitably end up advocating for what just happened last month at W&L University…
There are good cases made for taking down Confederate statuary, but the overwhelming impulse right now doesn’t come from patriotic appreciation for the US victory in the Civil War but instead from a spirit of increasingly nihilistic iconoclasm.
@LittleBootsPro
"Southern" is the word you're looking for, Vatnik.
No American Southerner would say "South man".
If you were American, you would know this.
"when General Ulysses S. Grant wanted to run for the Presidency of the US, I wrote a letter, which was published in many papers, denouncing him on account of his infamous General Orders no. 11. Thereupon, I received a note from a Union committee in Richmond, 1/3

And then these people wondered why the south was willing to secede. Why would they want to be in a nation filled with people who wanted them dead?
Most of the modern European nation-states we know today are products of the 18th and 19th centuries. Virginia - as a commonwealth - predates these modern nation-states by nearly two centuries.
This map shows when each nation was last a part of another nation.
The Commonwealth of Virginia (1607) is older than the following European Countries:
- Great Britain (1707)
- Belgium (1830)
- Ireland (1922)
- Germany (1871)
- Italy (1861)
- Poland (1918)
- Czezchia (1918)
- Former Yugoslavia (1990s)
There are more but this is sufficient.
The Virginia Senate just passed a bill stripping tax-exempt status from the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
Here is President Biden praising the group as “an organization made up of many fine people who continue to display the Confederate flag.”
For those who never knew, one of the weirdest battles fought at Manassas involved the happiest place on earth trying to build a theme Park a stone’s throw away from the Manassas National Battlefield Park.
The project’s name? Disney’s America.
@GreeneMan6
The entire issue with the joke is the fact it’s used as a smear against the founding stock of the nation; to downplay the achievements of the Protestant Anglos who founded the nation and made the nation possible in the first place.

Thabks you're really helping me understand👍I have a few more question if you don't mind. Thanks for your patience✌️Are all these flags yankees?
Today marks the 159th anniversary of the Battle of “Old Men and Young Boys,” which was a battle that happened between 125 militia men of the city of Petersburg and over 1,300 Union Cavalry of the Army of the James.
Pictured below is the youngest man killed that day.
Henry "Dad" Brown was a free, black man who acted as the drummer for the 8th South Carolina. He also acted as a drummer during the Mexican-American War and in the Spanish-American War; possibly the only man to serve in all three conflicts in some capacity.
Happy St. Andrew's Day 🏴 to all the Scots out there (yes, it is the 1st in Australia, but it is the 30th there). By a dint of history and a stolen barrel of grog, I am no Scot, but I couldn't be more proud of where my family came from.
I'm Southern. Mississippi born and raised.
The south was wrong, got embarrassed, and is still screwed up from it today.
You're wrong. Take the L, just like the confederacy did.
#NAFO
are some of the worst people I’ve ever seen in my life.
The fact that they’re okay with torturing a defenseless man pleading for his life is beyond evil. It disturbs my soul.
God have Mercy on you least your fate be in Dante’s incarnation of Hell.
Nat Turner’s men (and Nat Turner himself) murdered women and children in an indiscriminate fashion during their revolt.
Nat Turner openly confessed to murdering Margret Whitehead by beating her with a rusty sword and a fence rail.
In 1831, Freedom fighter Nat Turner started what is considered the most deadly slave revolt in the history of the United States , the Nat Turner Rebellion, which sparked the events leading to civil war.

The reason why these small towns exist is through the preservation of it’s cultural and ethnic heritage.
“Diversity and inclusion” destroy both, rendering it from being a small town into the same, cosmopolitan blight that has come to encompass all cities.
This is the entire problem with these sort of statistical analyses: they can easily be manipulated if you do not disclose all the information available.
Lee was consistently inflicting heavy casualties on Grant during the Overland and Petersburg campaigns.
That is a fact.

In short: Dev is not noticing anything inherently “right-wing,” but natural to storytelling. However, his brain has been so heavily fried by consumerism that he cannot see it as being the norm.
@GreeneMan6
Christian Nationalism is simply an affirmation of Locke’s entire worldview.
The rights of life, liberty, and property are endowed upon man by God and cannot - and should not - be robbed from him. Most important of all, atheism stands against this for the rejection of God.
@NapoleonBonabot
I knew this for a while, considering how they don’t even challenge anything related to the government and have been a joke since 2012…
Just a reminder that the media tried to call the Fitzhugh Lee monument a “confederate monument,” even though the text clearly states it was dedicated for his service during the Spanish-American War.

We do not fly the Japanese Rising Sun flag over the U.S.S. Arizona, or Santa Ana's "Blood Flag" over the Alamo, nor do we have statues glorifying Hirohito or Mussolini or Osama bin Laden in our public places. Most of us do not glorify literal traitors and enemies of our nation.
@etskehrt
, why do you support removing monuments dedicated to honoring the dead of a terrible civil war?
Why advocate for the desecration of the confederate dead? Are they not Americans like their Union counterparts?
It’s weird seeing Southern Chinese-er, I mean, “Australians” have such strong opinions about the Confederate States of America and the American South.
Almost as if they don’t have much of anything to speak of themselves. Shame, really.
Every day I see Ellis Islanders simp for mass immigration, the more it makes me realize that Bill the Butcher was not the bad guy in “Gangs of New York.”
“Conservatives can’t produce art” can be easily countered by referring to Edward Valentine; the man who made statues of Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and others.
Conservatives are incapable of producing good art because they lack empathy, which means they are incapable of creating anything which communicates to a larger audience. When they try to produce art, they only end up producing clumsy in-group signaling.
Remember:

, and countless other supposed “historians” have been pushing this evil rhetoric for years.
These people hate these historic figures, they hate southerners, they hate me, and they hate you.
Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee statue has met its end, in a 2,250-degree furnace.
The divisive Confederate monument, the focus of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in 2017, was secretly melted down and will become a new piece of public art.
More on the process:
I’ve noticed a trend when it comes to horrible civil war takes.
If the person has a terrible take, they likely have zero stake in the conflict as their ancestors likely never fought in the conflict.
Beschloss is no exception.

Well, considering what NAFO do on a regular basis, it shouldn’t be surprising someone might call a person affiliated with them “vermin” as well.
NAFO openly glorify warcrimes and the killing of Russian soldiers and civilians. They are - quite literally - evil incarnate.
One of Edgar Allan Poe’s favorite writers was William Gilmore Simms; the author of numerous novels such as “The Yamassee” and “The Partisan.”
However, Simms is best known for his account of the sacking and burning of Columbia, South Carolina by Sherman’s Army.
