I have been a long time reader and occasional commentator on a wide variety of right-wing web sites since the mid 1990s. The first, and for a long time the largest right-wing forums were run for, and populated by. self-described “patriots”. These people self-identified with the US flag, the US Constitution, the US military, US history and the disappearing Mayberry America of a bygone era.
After a while, and in response to the continued misbehavior of the Federal government at the Waco and Ruby Ridge atrocities, a more radical subset of the patriot right came into existence, and created their own sites. The “Three Percent” or “Threeper” sites were some of the first supporting this tendency. The long-running Western Rifle Shooters Association (WRSA) has became, over time, home-base for the “armed patriot” right faction, in the same way that Free Republic has long been the home for the less militant patriots.

While I understand and overall agree with the article. These changes it noted are a response to the media, professors, and democrats pushing the idea of just being White is a crime. For the last couple of years hardly, a week goes by, you do not see a professor or someone calling out “White Privilege.” As a White Man, I feel under attack for just the crime of being White. While I do not follow or believe in white-supremist philosophy. I do believe, I am entitled to have pride, in my ancestors and foundations of Western Civilization.
ReplyDeleteThese changes are not happening in a vacuum. They are occurring in response to being attacked for just being White.

DeleteAbsolutely and they are pissing off people even though they may be in mixed marriages.
Who shall attack a man for defending his family?
ReplyDeleteWho would attack a man for defending his extended family?
Who would attack a man for defending his people?
Who shall attack a man for defending the birthright of his children?
Anyone who does is by definition, your enemy.
Y'all have a nice day.
Agreed.
