They were always here.

I escaped from the south to the coasts, but I always tried to warn people how vile the worst of us were.

Nobody coukd believe it, but remember, Hitler wrote about the south as the model for Germany in mein kampf, and the nazis copied the Nuremberg Laws from Jim crow almost verbatim.

    They also took inspiration from the Catholic Church and the inquisition. The Church did ethnic cleansing long before the Nazis.

    Not just inspiration but also direct material support.

    I've lived in much of the country, and I'm not white.

    There is racism everywhere.

    But the South is like going from Lebanon to the deepest reaches of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

    They're monsters, and proud of it.

    That's not Islamophobic, the Taliban literally are misogynist, homophobic monsters.

    To PHR's knowledge, no other régime in the world has methodically and violently forced half of its population into virtual house arrest, prohibiting them on pain of physical punishment.[238] — Physicians for Human Rights, 1998

    The Taliban have committed a cultural genocide against the Afghan people by destroying their historical and cultural texts, artifacts and sculptures.[89]

    The Taliban are about as Islamic as the Nazis are Christian.

    Monsters are just monsters.
