Facebook is enslaving people and Zuckerman is a fascist so Rage Furby is going to take his ball and go stay home!

Ugh, it’s so lame that these racist asshats appropriate the language of the Civil Rights Movement (e.g. “plantation system”). I’m pretty sure they do it on purpose—either that or they’re too stupid & lazy to come up with their own terminology.

Also, note that from the beginning of the video he’s standing in front of that stupid Rhodesian army recruitment poster and even goes on to point out that it’s one of the things that’s important to him. Rhodesia is very popular with the white supremacist crowd. Remember the photos of Dylann Roof wearing the (apartheid era) South African & Rhodesian flag patches? That poster Ginger Snapped is so proud of is from that era, the 14 years (1965-1979) of the UDI (Unilateral Declaration of Independence). For more info see BBC ON THIS DAY | 11 | 1965: Rhodesia breaks from UK

For anyone who’s interested, the Christian Science Monitor has a good article that breaks down exactly why these knuckle-draggers like the flags: Why would an American white supremacist be fond of Rhodesia? (+video)
