If only it was the second iteration, which was a glorified MLM to bilk those bargain nazis out of their money in exchange for fucking klan memorabilia.
the worst thing about the second klan was it gave the founders of the third klan an opportunity to meet each other and go “oh! you’re a HUGE bigot, too?”
I’ve recently been reading about them, and this is honestly pretty accurate. (Keeping in mind, of course, that even the least problematic klan was still extremely problematic on an objective level. It’s just relative in this particular statement.)
They were super anti-Catholic, which feels almost quaint now. But they were their own worst enemies and eventually the greed and excess at the top caused the collapse of their entire pyramid scheme.
Strangely, that gives me hope for the US right now. History could repeat itself with our far-right techno-oligarchs.
Yep, I’m gonna let you have that one. Roger wouldn’t eat a hotdog in Provincetown and was meticulous about bug spray in Key West. Both of those are bad, but not klan bad.
my great grandad was though. from the side of the family i never really much talked to because my dad wanted nothing to do with them after what they did to him in his upbringing
hey at least he wasn’t a founding member of the third iteration of the klan (the current one)

“the least problematic klan was the second klan, and other confusing things you don’t want anyone to say to you”
All iterations of the klan are bad and stupid. But #2 was the least bad and the most stupid, so that’s something.

Agreed.
Hopefully when the modern incarnations (such as the GOP) die, we get the comedy version only.

just be ready for what rises from the ashes. because it was from that collapse that the Indiana Klan reorganized into the group we know today

Neither was I

All I’m saying is, I’m not and who ever says I am is a liar
