    Huh. VA 18.2-485 makes it a felony to conspire to commit race war. I guess that can be used against, idk, literally everyone who joined up with Unite the Right. https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter11/section18.2-485/ …

        Apparently, I spend my night reading the Virginia criminal code, wondering how some of the laws came about in the first place.

        18.2-308.8 is an oddly-specific ban on drum-feed semi-automatic shotguns, and was passed in 1993. I wonder what the precipitating event was.

        Did they talk unironically about race war in the Charlottesville planning Discord? Yes, they did! The term "rahowa" stands for "RAcial HOly WAr." https://discordleaks.unicornriot.ninja/discord/search?q=rahowa&s=4 …

        Yup. Race war is dogwhistle for "dem uppity n*s might want to be treated like humans" IIUC, it dates back to 1860, and used to be specifically about "inciting negroes to insurrection".

        It's rather interesting, though. I almost want to make this a longer project.

        Mostly, I want to know the history of that statute. I've got the thread of it being specific to non-whites in the Code of 1860/1877, and I can see it in the Code of 1950 as 18.2-422. I really want to see what happened in between
