It was an exercise in trying to find justification for their selfishness. It was so conservative that it wandered into the reactionary when they didn’t get their way.

I don’t appreciate the author’s attempt to tie the confederacy to the Democratic Party, Occupy Wall Street, and antifa (whatever TF that is).
