  • You mean how colonizers from the US seceded from Mexico so they could keep slavery, joined the US after a hot minute, then seceded from the US so they could keep slavery? Or some other origin?

  • World War 1 was so traumatic for Europe because the terrible weapons of mass destruction that they had been using to dominate the rest of the world were suddenly being used on them.

    I think this is probably similar for people in the US who are not in a minority now, along the lines you describe.

  • Trump can do whatever he wants. The Supreme Court said so, Congress won't complain, and he has already completed the first round of purges of the executive branch.

    He could declare a horse his co-consul and the only downside would be some snarky mentions in some histories written by the senatorial classes.

  • I remember being annoyed when reading The Jungle because it correctly called out problems with industry, politics, and I think unions, but posited socialism as the way forward.

    Now I see that I was just under the spell of capitalistic dogma, and it was completely correct in every way. 😄
