it's at best childish to call the US a "third world region", but strikes me more as a symptom of severe mental retardation

well i just hear it all the time, and lumping Texas with Sudan is ridiculous. some parts of Mississippi can be argued, e.g., around the Port Gibson area (which bizarrely was saved from being razed to the ground because Grant allegedly thought it was "too beautiful" and when i drove through that area I thought i was in another country. old black men pointed and laughed at me from a park bench as I bewilderingly looked at structures made of tarp and corrugated metal), but not Florida or Texas. they have, for example, running water and electricity, which is in stark contrast with a "third world country". also first world == western world. the bottom 20% of americans have more PPP than all other nations except for 11 of them, including the US as a whole.

alright, i'll accept it as a tongue and cheek joke

then yes as this shows, Yankeedom has its shit together, but Dixie does not. Yankeedom's ally of the Left Coast is leaving something to be desired as well

That is a very good and enlightening book. Punctures the myth of a united america shitcons always like to lie about.

My favorite historical "what if" is what if the US had enthusiastically backed the Whites in Russia. The entire world is different if Wilson sends a few thousand more troops


Alas.
