athens for all of its issues was probably the superior of the two models. the history of the lacedaemonians is full of glory but reeks of what's sordid and improper about living

there's a shelf life on any way of life/civilization that requires slaves anyway. eventually you lose the vitality and self-assurance that ruling over slaves requires, and then it's Over

a lot of Thinkers believe that the US was already Over after the civil war, but i feel like things could have gone very differently if lincoln wasn't assassinated and successfully repatriated the africans

the africans who decided to practice self-reliance and work on American Black communities irrespective of what whitey was doing had the right idea and easily could've had more areas looking like what the historic "middle class" black districts of atlanta came to be. but yankee sludge money and virtue-buying from abolitionist evangelicals kind of hollowed out and corroded their nascent attempts at homesteading here. i don't think there was a real need for mass repatriation but to not even offer it considering the context of slavery was a pretty inhumane move from the quasi-early mil-ind cabal that came into power after lincoln's death. it says a lot about the backroom mentalities of the northerners that they effectively saw freed blacks as pawns to shuffle around on a chessboard to punish these recalcitrant cavaliers who wanted to preserve some semblance of european inspired courtly life (amongst other things, not trying to gloss over the economic/social/etc implications of slavery, a terrible thing, but culturally what happened was like a Hiroshima event atom bomb that the south still hasn't recovered from even to this day, affecting whites and blacks and effectively "poisoning the well" for centuries to come)

there is so much resentment for what the businessmen of the north did still bubbling around the deep south today that it seems like whatever they did post-lincoln made for a disastrous brew of national disunity leaching lead and all sorts of cultural & social toxins into the storied soil of Faulkner and Twain

the "strong fed, weak states" model is so backwards wrt what the centralization-averse founders of SPIRIT would've wanted for this country and the legacy of that today is probably why the west coast is so stubborn, fractious, and full of non-compliance with what DC and the northeastern cluster wants for those territories. it is amazing that there is so much land and population diversity in this country and yet the formerly robust and healthy patchwork of cultures that gave the fifty stars their distinguishment on that background becomes more and more uniform and market-ready year by year

admittedly it can be lazy but it allows you to pull from a wider net of internally accessible concepts at any given time and this makes for a superior product imo

during reconstruction they were used as a cudgel against the cavalier south, today they're used as a cudgel in a high-low alliance against the middle class. it will never change

blacks are a part of this country too and while i think a lot of the racial agitation is actually bad faith actors capitalizing on very normal and perhaps even healthy if minimal friction between racial groups there also is a lot of racism that goes beyond what could be described as natural and leads to all sorts of horrific stuff being instituted as policy

imo this is a white country, white americans built this, broke the foundations, created it by and large, but a key part of our shared European culture is good and gracious treatment of guests and real concern for the welfare of the entire polity, not just one racial group or another. civnat stuff is totally broken atm, corroded, hardened, ossified, stretched out by the moloch money machine inferno, but it's also what we have to work with as the main baseline for sentiments on idk the "alt right" i guess, which is now a category that includes Actual Paleocons and civnat stuff includes anyone who wants to be a part of it so long as they aren't bringing a mountain of baggage and resentments (whether racial, religious, social, etc) along with them

re blacks as a cudgel yeah i agree and i shaded that with what i wrote above. there's a lot of genuine villainy masquerading as aid wrt TPTB and you see this especially in the history of real estate in this country, which winds up screwing all parties involved as pieces on that particular haute bourgeois chessboard, whether poor black, rich white, burb white, burb black, whatever
