American Proposition v. Southern Nationalism

The Southern Nationalist Network’s new video portrays the difference between the American view and the Southern Nationalist view. Michael Peroutka’s League of the South is prominently featured in the second part of the video as the flagship for Southern Nationalism.

Just in case there is any doubt about who the Southern Nationalists are fighting for, pay attention to League of the South president Michael Hill’s words at 2:36 into the clip.

The true South today is defined by Southern nationalism. It’s not defined by conservatism, it’s not defined by the GOP (?), it’s not defined by libertarianism, it’s defined by Southern nationalism. And Southern nationalism is a manifestation of the culture of our South, the white, Anglo-Celtic South. That is Southern nationalism.

In this video, the proposition that all men are created equal is ridiculed and a distinction drawn between Martin Luther King, Barack Obama, and Ronald Reagan and the League of the South.

  1. The Gospel doesn’t tell us to treat all people equally (that is, with indifference).
    It tells us to find one person and love him (quite unequally). My next one isn’t your next one and mustn’t be! Mr. Hill’s next one must neither be my next one nor your next one. That’s the nice thing with southern nationalism – it is not totalitarian, it doesn’t oblige all and everyone to follow the same drummer..
    On the other hand, the idea of the “Proposition Nation” IS totalitarian. It’s a variant of the confessional or ideological nationalism which became popular with the French Jacobines and it means that you can be a good citizen only if you stick to the ruling doctrine. Which, paradoxically, implies that, people can NOT be treated equally – the opponents of the ruling doctrine must be treated worse, the adherents better.
