(3) Anyway, what I was wondering, was if you had any plans to continue your 'Southron Heroes' series. I reckon that its very important to teach the South about their proud, defiant and heroic historical figures.

Its the sort of content I don't believe is available anywhere else.

I sure hope you decide to continue it. If you do, I wonder if you'd consider putting together an episode about John B. Gordon, the great General, a personal hero to me and many of my countrymen.

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words, Pete. I'll certainly give the series you speak of some thought.

Sadly we don't produce anything anymore. Your friend is right red. It can't go on forever. We have to start making things again.

[RedShirtArmy]

Well, the South produces much more than the North these days. A lot of the North's former industry has moved South. Laws that force people to join unions and limit the owner's property rights have been a big reason that the 'rust belt' has come into existence and why the new car factories are normally built in SC, Alabama and places in Dixie in general. If we had real free-trade agreements and DC was gotten rid of, I think we'd see industry blossom in the South even more so.

@RedShirtArmy Do you think Southern women are less slutty than Northern women?

[SturmUndDrang13]

That a state would be a coercive entity is a priori thinking based on anarchist bias. A state is still the number one provider of security, national interests, economic welfare and well-being, domestic peace. That doesn't mean it can't be a tool of repression but that can be avoided if the nation is sovereign.

[IndividualAutonomy]

That is a utilitarian argument, one that presents in many cases a calculation problem with other competing interests within the state. The state itself is an coercive entity so it is not compatible with freedom but is a tool of subjugation. An individualist just recognizes the right of the individual to decide what to do with their property (depending on how property is acquired and what it entails) as long as it is not aggressive.

[SturmUndDrang13]

Well, I'm no liberal or individualist, if that's what you're saying. I believe a state is a useful organ, that needs the work in the nation's best interest. That state however, should be the embodiment of a nation, a folk, not the other way around.

[IndividualAutonomy]

You are not a "freedom lover sturm" but a paleo white nationalist statist.

(1) Hi PalmettoPatriot,

Thanks for putting the hard yards into your videos, and your website. I just encountered it last night and your work deserves and no doubt gets, high praise.

I reckon your video on Yancey was extremely well informed, and very informative. Since watching that, I watched nearly all the rest of your content.

I definitely enjoyed this one as well. Localism is an issue thats dear to me.
