idk if arizona is considered part of "the South," but southern pride p much exists because what i guess can only be explained as a kind of southern subculture, and i don't think there's anything wrong with being proud of w/e culture you're a part of. it's not necessarily a matter of saying x region is inherently better, it's just an appreciation for it. at least that's what i'm assuming since i've never experienced "southern pride" firsthand (though, secondhand, i've seen plenty)
not what i meant
i am aware arizona is not part of the south, but what i mean is that i don't actually feel that i am part of a distinct culture from people in vermont or idaho, so why is that true for people in the "deep south?" it makes no sense
if they feel so distinct why don't they just secede again? i wouldn't complain, the US would generally move towards my political tastes :)
Yes, I have 2 CSA flags and live in the south and will fly them on occasion but I don't call people mondays or brandish my flags like some "southern pride" people who pose with their guns and flags then post the pictures online. My flags will always remain in their case and when I do fly them I only keep them up to mark CSA victories during the Civil war and I do the same thing with the US flag so don't say I just fly the CSA flags.
so you fly a flag to commemorate successes of a
racially-motivated rebellion against your country
