I hear those words, “wasteland of neon” and I don’t understand them. How can people look on a cityscape like that, huge and overbuilt and glowing with neon on black and think anything but how awesome it is? I’ve wanted to live in a city like that all my life.

Ludicrous as a thing that needed to be made into a figure, yes, but the factthat it looks pretty freaking awesome justifies it in my mind. I’d buy it on looks alone, it’s a striking design.
Very well spoken, and I can’t disagree. I did say it was a dream, I can’t say I expect it to come true.
Thank you! I am working on a novel to the degree my work schedule allows and I don’t get distracted on blogs and forums. I’m self-taught with only a GED, so it’s kinda hard to make it in the pro writing world without the educational credentials. I’m hoping that e-publishing will let me put my work in front of people,…
To try to summarize what I’ve been trying to say and hopefully make my message clear, I wrote my first blog post to this site and I hope everyone in this thread will check it out.
White supremacy is a lie, a piece of useful propaganda used by the elite to divide and conquer the lower classes. How can it be that people understand that the Nazis made up all the lies about Jews because creating that hatred and dissension was useful to their political ambitions, but take their American equivalents…
You don’t seem to understand what I’m saying. The elite fat cat scum didn’t care one way or the other about human lives, be they black or white, ONLY about the almighty dollar. They were evil on the deepest level, and it’s important to understand that because sociopathic monsters like that still run things to this…
Before I go to bed, I want to make sure something is perfectly clear:
You misunderstand, I didn’t say the flag was a symbol of a worker’s rebellion, I said I would like it to become one. I want to take it back and rub it in the face of the elite fat cat scum who create the wars that everyone else bleeds and dies in. And the reason I’d like to see that symbol in particular reclaimed in…
I think you still misunderstand me to a degree. What the war was fought over was control of the textiles industry and the massive amount of power and profit control of that industry brought with it. That conflict would have occurred with or without slavery, and please understand I am NOT saying the Southern elite had…
Please see above. I condemn the elites that pulled the strings to make the war happen for their own power and profit, and mourn the soldiers who died for a lie. I condemn the power players on both sides, and mourn the poor lives lost on both sides. As in every war, the rich and powerful played the game of empire and…
Allow me please to reiterate that I am in no way whatsoever defending or condoning slavery in any way, shape or form. To be completely clear, slavery was an abomination, a horrific atrocity second only to genocide on the scale of ultimate evil and unforgivable crimes.
The only people I’ve defended as far as the…
I’m not asking you to shed tears for the people who made millions off of slavery, quite the opposite. I want them blamed, condemned, and convicted in the court of historical judgement for the crimes they actually committed for the reasons they actually committed them, which was profit and power uber alles. They didn’t…
I am rather attached to the irony of reclaiming the Rebel flag as the banner of a broad, pan-racial coailition of the working class united together in solidarity to dismantle the elite scum that once gathered an army of poor, illiterate conscripts to bleed and die under. I also like the idea of the redneck racist…
Yes, the elites and their political pawns lied even at the time and even to their own people in their own documents. This surprises you why? What makes you think they were willing to say publically or in recorded documents what they really stood to gain and lose in a war that killed so many and cost so much? Come on,…
You make some excellent points, and perhaps you’re right in terming racism as the power structure and prejudice the false belief that is used to justify, excuse, and thus help perpetuate it. We agree in all but terms, and both see clearly who built the structure and how they use it against us all. We are indeed…
Perhaps I’m mistaken about the port situation, I will research that. What I am correct about is that trade agreements cannot be forged with foreign powers without going through Congress. I was under the impression that the South lacked the physical capacity for major overseas trading until the acquisition of the Port…
Racism was the excuse the fat cats used to sell it to the common man. The motivation was always money and power. Do you really think they would have gone to all the effort and investment if they didn’t get a damned good return on it? Slavery doesn’t exist because some people hate some other people, it exists because…
What, you thought the bastards didn’t lie back then, too?
