The south became roughly as republican as the national average in the late seventies and was more republican by the nineties. Your timelines don't match up.

Yeah, the confederacy would have been better served by a more aggressive strategy, because they were going to lose a war of attrition and needed a decisive victory early.

Latin America is full of dumb regulations, rent seeking, and corruption. I wouldn't doubt that Brazil has the same thing, and just relies on income inequality to make up for it.

Barbers are like that. Or they're altchicks. Have to be into heavy metal to do barbering.

In certain neighborhoods in Dallas ISD, part of the benefit of accepting a housekeeping job is your employer lying to the schools about where your kids live- the school doesn’t care, these are mostly well behaved Hispanics whose parents believe in the Chancla, and if they show up to school, they get $9k on top of the property taxes from the sorts of houses that have full time housekeepers in Dallas. The kids get a better education. The employers get to throw in a fringe benefit practically for free. Their kids, of course, go to private schools, mostly Catholic or episcopal.

Socially, however, this is not good, you’d have to concentrate the genii anyways.

A good teacher would have said ‘put it back in the bag, under your jockstrap and gym socks, I didn’t see anything this time’.

And then get lynched? The gods of copybook heading will return, one way or another.

UBI, but only for the deeply involved in church or subcultural scenes. UBI, for those who forswear politics and vow to embrace lowest common denominator slop. UBI, for those who pledge to do too many drugs to seek societal change

Does Germany have mandatory voting?

Correct me if I’m wrong but these migration background voters are mostly German citizens. That may be a bad idea but the law probably says ‘citizen of Germany’ not ‘person with light enough skin’.

Lots of credentialed women will just stubbornly believe institutions over their own lying eyes.

It’s worth noting that actual normie black parents are usually the first in line to demand schools bring back paddling. They believe in discipline but have trouble enforcing it without external assistance.

For the former I have to say that, as a third worlder, I just find it despicable (Susan Wolf didn't have to work hard to convince me sainthood wasn't necessarily an unalloyed good). You send your kid to the best school you can and damn everyone else. I
This scenario just wouldn’t be plausible in countries where misbehaving children are beaten instead of given the run of the place- no matter the parent’s resources, schools in Africa do not have this specific problem. The instructional quality at this school was almost certainly fine to good- this particular girl just couldn’t take advantage of it due to the other students’ behavior.
I suspect this is part of the Mississippi miracle- in the Deep South, disciplining children is broadly popular, including among the black population. The average person thinks schools should use harsher methods, not more empathetic ones, even if there’s a race difference in outcome. One or two particularly bad kids would simply be removed from the class, and everyone else quiets down a bit.

The confederacy fought because they believed the planter class was owed a veto right over federal policy, and they had pre-abolitionist dust ups over this regularly. They seceded after losing control of the senate and then the presidency in quick succession, not in response to any specific policies.
In the 1860’s, this was specifically manifested as slavery. But they’d previously gotten into it with pro-slavery presidents. The non-slavery parts of the CSA constitution are also revealing- all about Plutocracy and the natural rights of large landholders to govern.

The civil war wasn’t really about slavery- I mean sûre, slavery is how I’d explain it to children, it was the proximal issue, so it’s not totally unfair to call it that. The civil war was about whether southern elites should have a veto over US policy on the whole. This is, in the minds of liberals(and perhaps nowhere else), a live issue again. You should just read liberal propaganda and connect the threads.

Youth sports on Sunday morning are considered a shocking and recent intrusion of degeneracy in my area- but Sunday afternoons were never as sacred.

There’s tons of haircutting places in suburban strip malls. Single men go to them because their wife cant very well give them a hair cut(she, after all, doesn’t exist).

It's on social media. Everywhere on social media. It's full of meowls and dancing animals. Schizoposters use it to augment their output. It's a thing.

Full sovereignty isn't going to really happen, obviously, but I think you're overrating the possibility of actual incorporation into a larger power. They don't want this.

The civil war was fought over the political power of the planter class, which expected a veto over the republic's policies before the war. 'Slavery' is a reasonable enough term for that, but that kind of emancipation wouldn't address the real cause.

The current round isn't technically an 'oversight' fight- the FSSP gets away with everything the SSPX would want to do, in practice.
The SSPX wanted new bishops now, because one of their preexisting bishops has recent health issues and won't be able to take flights soon. The Vatican wanted them to wait until a permanent deal was signed and then discuss the possibility of new bishops- and the permanent deal would have to wait until the SSPX held new elections in 2030, to give their leadership a mandate to negotiate on the wording of the joint doctrinal declaration(the 2018 elections were held in the pope Francis era and elected leadership with a considerably more hardline attitude than the median senior SSPX priest).

What a fabian strategy actually is is to deny the enemy the ability to field war-winning armies over large portions of the theater by interrupting their logistics- Fabius did this by defeating Hannibal's foraging parties so that he was unable to move his army away from allies, giving Rome a free hand to campaign wherever Hannibal was not.
This... isn't something the south could do. For one thing, the US and Russian armies had far better logistics than most victorian armies did; they were set up to pursue steppe nomads from friendly bases. Due to railroads, depot networks, and conestoga wagons, the union simply had a far longer logistical leash than ancient armies- more than long enough to take war-winning amounts of territory without foraging or advancing their logistical infrastructure into confederate controlled territory. Secondly, the confederacy did try a fabian strategy against general Sherman- it didn't work, he had the manpower to simply eat the casualties, and rice plantations in the tidewater functioned as large supply concentrations enabling more effective foraging. Plantation agriculture is simply not well suited to sustaining guerrilla warfare compared to smallholding.
I'm used to apple cider being the default there and plenty of parents just letting their kid have a small quantity of wine or champagne, with sparkling grape juice being used as a punch, served out of a bowl?
