As the open war between Russia and Ukraine enters its second year, that conflict has again taken a prominent stage in both mainstream American politics and dissident discussions. Often, a familiar pattern plays out as arguments are exchanged, tempers flare, and the prospect of understanding seems farther away than ever. One of the chief stumbling blocks between the two sides of the debate is that the dissident debate over the Russia-Ukraine War has been obscured by the misrepresentation of half of the argument, namely the half which most Heritage Americans in the Heartland hold to.

Minnesotan voters are, generally, a bunch of midwits. There is a strong “maverick” character to Minnesota politics, but aside from electing a former professional wrestler as governor of the state, this independent streak does not result in cool or entertaining outcomes. Instead, the end result is usually a spirited defense of the status quo, long after its other supporters have left the field.

In response to the recent brouhaha on the southern border, there have emerged two prevailing tendencies among the dissident sphere. The first was rapturous joy, the excitement of things “happening”, with the promise of more radical change or conflict to come. The second response was more cynical. “Nothing ever happens” is how these figures are portrayed by their enemies, but it might be closer to depict them as St. Thomas instead, insisting on sticking their fingers in the happening before believing in it.

The changing fortunes of White Americans over the past decades means that the incident which was once seen as an embarrassing foible has become a bludgeon with which the real invaders of the continent use to abuse the native population they are displacing.

No one speaks of actually returning land or sovereignty to the tribes which have been allowed to exist in their ghettos across the continent. Rather, the only goal is to take things from Whitey.

While others have covered the symbolism of the new flag and seal for the state of Minnesota elsewhere, I believe that it would be illuminating for Heartlanders to understand how the new design will be implemented, and who was in charge of making the decision to jettison the state’s history and culture to satisfy a minority of perennially unhappy grievance-mongers.
