Compulsory American Conformity

US writers and politicians often pay lip service to the supposed autonomy of the States and their function as ‘laboratories’ in the great American experiment in democracy. One of the contributions of SNN and Southern nationalists in general is to point out that in reality the States are not autonomous and have very few rights left which have yet to be appropriated by Washington, DC. In fact, this has long been the case; it is merely more obviously true today. The Father of Southern Nationalism, US Senator Robert Barnwell Rhett of South Carolina, referred to the United States as a ‘sectional despotism’ in 1860 under which Southerners (as a minority in the Union) could not protect their liberties and interests. Far from the ‘land of the free’ sung about in the US anthem, Rhett described the US government as ‘one of the most despotic and corrupt’ in history and repeatedly referred to it as a ‘consolidated empire.’

Recently, as if setting out to prove Rhett correct, the US government has thrown out State laws and amendments to State constitutions in order to force gay marriage upon Oklahoma and Virginia (just as it once forced interracial marriage upon the South). Here we see a clear case in which the States are not allowed to be laboratories where cultural and political differences are expressed. Rather, a compulsory American conformity is pressed upon all the States by the numerical majority in the Northeast, Upper Midwest and West Coast. A ‘sectional despotism’ persists today in which Progressives in the large cities of the East and West Coast force their values upon those in the South and the Heartland. As the Leftist US Senator from Virginia Tim Kaine (who is not a Southerner) recently explained, the ‘government is a force for good’ because it is forces his values upon others who do not accept those values. Gay marriage is only one of many cultural and political issues where this is true.

The US propensity to force its values upon others is not restricted to the South and the Heartland but extends also to foreign countries. In 2011, the Global Equality Fund was created by the US State Department ‘to support programs that advance the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons around the world. The Fund is a collaborative effort led by the U.S. Department of State, bridging government, companies and NGOs with the objective of empowering LGBT persons to live freely and without discrimination.’ The US government and US media have worked closely to promote this agenda in countries where such Leftist, anti-traditionalist views are rejected. National Public Radio, which receives funding from the US government, has been particularly strong in its support for pressing the homosexual agenda upon Russia.

Russian professor, author and geo-political theorist Dr Alexander Dugin recently wrote an open letter to the US public about the US-backed crisis in the Ukraine. In that letter Dugin makes many of the points frequently reiterated here on SNN. He writes: [T]he American political elite makes the decisions instead of You. It lies to you, it dis-informs you. It shows faked pictures and falsely stages events with completely imagined explanations and idiotic commentary. They lie about us. And they lie about you. They give you a distorted image of yourself. The American political elite has stolen, perverted and counterfeited the American identity. And they make us hate you and they make you hate us.

Dugin continues:

[T]he American political elite… insist on conformity and regard the American way of life as something universal and obligatory. They deny other people the right to difference, they impose on everybody the standards of so called “democracy”, “liberalism”, “human rights” and so on that have in many cases nothing to do with the set of values shared by the non-Western or simply not North-American society.
The professor concludes:

This is my idea and suggestion: let us hate the American political elite together. Let us fight them for our identities – you for the American, us for the Russian, but the enemy is in both cases the same – the global oligarchy who rules the word using you and smashing us. Let us revolt. Let us resist. Together. Russians and Americans. We are the people. We are not their puppets.

Of course, this letter is meant for a broad audience across the United States, not for just the people of the South. SNN readers would likely amend the above to include references to ourselves as a distinct nationality trapped in an involuntary Union which regularly abuses us. Yet, Dugin’s points are solid. US elites do lie to us and regularly mis-inform the public. They express their hatred for us with their policies which are designed to pervert our culture and ultimately replace us with Third World immigrants. American elites do insist on conformity, both within the Union and around the world. There is no room for autonomy for the States, local communities or distinct ethnic and cultural groups within the United States of America. Rather, one set of values – those generally belonging to liberal elites in the cities of Atlantic and Pacific coasts and in particular in the Northeast, Upper Midwest and West Coast – is forced upon everyone. The US Federal court system applies this conformity while the US media attacks anyone who dares to voice objection to the agenda of global liberal hegemony. Such is what the USA is all about today.

If ever there was a strong reason for secession and independence from a regime, this is surely such today.
