@pennaheel @TeaPartyOGs @RealPNavarro @NCTO Sure, Valdese Weavers is still there, but you can't drive to Hickory from there on 70 without passing the rotten husks of a dozen other mills that fell prey to globalism.

@TeaPartyOGs @RealPNavarro @NCTO Respectfully disagree. Valdese has a very large textile mill that not only makes fabrics but provides fabric finishing fir foreign made fabrics. We need more mills like this. I have accounts with quite a few furniture manufacturers in NC too.

🧵What do textiles teach us about globalism? I talked about this recently at an event hosted by @NCTO. In 1973, the denim in virtually every pair of blue jeans, in America and around the world, was made in Greensboro, N.C.

@HighLikeSpida @Dionysianist @HollyGrayle Who was doing the cutting, King Leopold or other Congolese? The answer may surprise you! But even if I grant your point you still keep bringing up century old grievances as a reason why your people fail today. The truth is just blacks can't maintain civilization without whites.

Lmao you just went from ‘that never happened’ to ‘okay it happened but here’s welfare.’ you’ve lost every historical argument in this thread so now you’re changing the subject. king leopold personally owned the congo and cut off children’s hands. that’s not a handout, that’s a century of extraction. stay on topic or admit you lost

I no longer believe the narrative around lynchings being nothing more than spontaneous racially-motivated violence. I think Sub-Saharans behaved like this back then, and Whites responded with a level of brutality fully intended to deter any further chimping. They are inherently violent. And they will understand nothing except extreme violence.

@HighLikeSpida @Dionysianist @HollyGrayle Maybe that mob of blacks shouldn't have shown up to escalate

@Dionysianist @Nicklanier828 @HollyGrayle the ‘criminal’ was never charged because the alleged victim declined to press charges. the case was dropped. you’re justifying burning 35 blocks and killing 300 people over an accusation that the actual victim didn’t pursue

@HighLikeSpida @Dionysianist @HollyGrayle You can't name any white wrongdoing from less than a century ago and somehow ignore the trillions in handouts you people have gotten since. Get your house in order and quit blaming whitey for your people's inability to maintain civilization.

haiti was forced to pay france 150 years of reparations for the crime of winning their own freedom. the congo was personally owned by king leopold who cut off hands for missed rubber quotas. you’re citing the damage from the crime as proof there was no criminal. do some reading before you embarrass yourself again

@HighLikeSpida @Dionysianist @HollyGrayle I don't think you've "dismantled" anything. I think you cling desperately to the myth of the white man keeping you down because your people turn everywhere you inhabit into Port-au-Prince or Kinshasa or Mogadishu, without any help from the white man at all.

i said they thrived despite being excluded from white institutions. greenwood built hospitals, law firms, a bus system with zero white capital. then white institutions burned it down. ironic that the guy claiming racial intellectual superiority just got his argument dismantled by an “inferior race” how does that work ?

@HighLikeSpida @Dionysianist @HollyGrayle Did you just admit that blacks find it basically impossible to function without access to white institutions? I guess we might have some common ground after all!

nobody said it was the new york stock exchange. ‘black wall street’ was a nickname for a self-sufficient black economy that thrived despite being systematically excluded from white institutions. the fact that it existed at all under those conditions is exactly the point. you’re mad it was impressive enough to need destroying

@HighLikeSpida @HollyGrayle There was a black neighborhood in Tulsa, I never denied that part.

@Nicklanier828 @HollyGrayle two minutes ago you said it wasn’t real. now it’s real but just not impressive enough. which is it? you can’t deny the history and downplay it at the same time lol

@HighLikeSpida @HollyGrayle It is hilarious to me that a functional downtown area inhabited by black people was extraordinary enough to get compared to Wall Street. It's like when Great Zimbabwe gets mentioned as monumental architecture alongside Chartres Cathedral.

This video is cope, black wall street wasn’t real? the oklahoma historical society, the smithsonian, and oklahoma’s own 2001 state commission all confirmed greenwood had 35+ blocks of black-owned businesses, hotels, law offices, a hospital, a library, a bus system, and black millionaires. booker t. washington coined the name himself visiting it. and the ‘provocation’ that justified burning all of it? an accusation sarah page herself declined to press charges on

@HighLikeSpida @HollyGrayle You may find this video helpful: x.com/JohnDoyle/stat…

planes were documented at the tulsa massacre by multiple contemporaneous witness accounts and the oklahoma state commission report. whether they dropped incendiaries or provided air support while shooters fired down is the debated part. either way you’re defending a mob that used aircraft to massacre a thriving black neighborhood. the planes are real. the 1,200 homes burned are real. the 300 dead are real. splitting hairs on the exact method doesn’t save your argument

@HighLikeSpida @HollyGrayle You might not be aware that the version of the story you just told comes from a 2018 fictional television show called "Watchmen". Go read contemporaneous accounts, there was no aerial bombing and the truth of what happened is more complex.

lynching wasn’t about deterring violence. tulsa 1921; they bombed and burned the wealthiest black community in america from airplanes. black wall street, doctors, lawyers, business owners. what exactly were they deterring? success? the history you’re using to justify your worldview actively disproves it. pick up a book that wasn’t written by someone who agrees with you

@MoosePebble @WKRN You can SAY that, and it's a pleasant sentiment, and it's the story we tell ourselves about representative government, but the evidence for that being true is surprisingly thin on the ground.

@WKRN Allowing? We do not need permission. The government is the one who needs our permission to do anything and they are constrained by the constitution. We are the boss, the government are servants.

@MFA_Ukraine No 😃

“Chornobyl” is the only correct spelling Ukraine asks the world to use. Using Ukrainian transliterations respects Ukraine’s language and culture and moves away from Russian forms that were imposed by Russia during the Soviet era. It is also part of a wider effort to decolonise language and correct long-standing imbalances in global usage. Using the correct transliteration for a place in Ukraine affirms recognition of Ukraine as a sovereign state – a fact Russia tries to deny. We welcome the decision of states and international organisations to adopt the Ukrainian spelling of Chornobyl, including in the UN resolution of December 10, 2025. Like Kyiv, Chornobyl reflects Ukrainian pronunciation and thus aligns with the global practice of updating place names for linguistic correctness. The successful shift from the Russian spelling “Kiev” to the Ukrainian “Kyiv” is a clear example of this trend. All Ukrainian cities deserve to have their names rendered correctly. #ChornobylNotChernobyl #Chornobyl40

@WanjiruNjoya My rural southern county GOP has an annual "Lincoln Dinner" and I'm like "the guy who sent the army that burned every record in our courthouse? You're commemorating HIM?"

We haven't been told why the state of Alabama paid $375,000 to SPLC but may I remind you that the Republican Party self-identifies as the "true party of civil rights" and Republicans in Alabama are planning to re-enact the March from Selma. So there's that.

@WanjiruNjoya Thanks for the tip - I didn't realize Bowers was part of a larger school of thought.

This is the real reason they cancelled the Dunning School. Because if Southerners read it they'd be angry. And rightly so.

@WanjiruNjoya This book made me angrier than nearly any other I've read

The Reconstruction Era was a Tragic Era. No doubt about that. Even if you're a social justice warrior and you loooooove civil rights, you worship St Sumner of Massachusetts, and his sidekick Thaddeus Stevens, and all the rest of it, you cannot erase the tragedy of that era.

@TweetPulpit @RyanMaue Oh man, distress of nations? Perplexity? Those are unprecedented in world history! This is DEFINITELY the end times!

@RyanMaue Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, & in the moon, & in the stars; & upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea & the waves roaring;

The upcoming "mega El Niño" could be the strongest since the 1877 event that wiped out 4% of the Earth's population due to heat waves, drought and pestilence. Scientists watching every weather model update are getting "heart palpitations" ❤️

One of the most evil men of the late 20th century to exist, if you're dealing with turdification in your nation, know that it was this bloke's hybridization of modern wheat that led to both your upset stomach, and hordes of the Great Unwashed creeping upon your native lands.

@0GHoss1 @TheShawnHendrix @RoyCooperNC @WhatleyNC @Flock This isn't tough on crime, though. It's just mass surveillance. The demonstrated blasé attitude Cooper and other Dems have towards violent crime should make it obvious that that's not the real point of this.

@TheShawnHendrix @RoyCooperNC @WhatleyNC @Flock I see North Carolina Republicans complain that Roy Cooper isn't tough enough on crime everyday on this app. He signs bills like this to be tough on crime and then you guys complain??

Did you know @RoyCooperNC paved the way for big data surveillance. This is something both parties should stand against. @WhatleyNC would love to see you take a public position against @Flock cameras!

@NNavlis23085 @NatCon2022 Virginians, by and large, didn't make a mistake. Foreigners and carpetbaggers from a couple northern counties did this.

@NatCon2022 It's difficult to be horrible across the board, but it seems like it comes naturally to Spanberger. Oh boy, what a colossal mistake Virginians made.

Hate-filled VA Gov signs HB 167, a South African-style law making it illegal for numerous White heritage groups in the state to have tax exempt status. Law will make tax-exempt status primarily only available to non-White heritage groups. Wildly discriminatory based on race!
