His "antiracist" thing just reinforced something you wrote that I have bookmarked:
-- most pointedly:
If the failure of the reconstruction era and slavery really did have an averse effect on our nation he should notice our own South and the former land of the Confederates. The most noticeable thing is how we never quite recovered. He lives in a libtard metropolis hellscape city. I live out in rural-ish West Georgia wedged between major cities/counties. You see the relics out here and former slave manors either abandoned or refitted and ruined.
The collapse of the slave economy had the most objective impact on the nation and to this day it lingers like a ghost. Going out to these civil war battlefields, you don't always feel like the good guys won given how many historival statues are taken down and destroyed over feelings. To me it's not the slaves or the slave owners or their masters presence and ghosts that haunt these places, its all the empty architecture; the history that keeps being swept up by new age libshits in denial about our roots. The unfinished and abandoned state of some farms and homesteads out here with trees growing through the buildings.
Evil as it may seem; the slave economy was our biggest pride. It was forced away from us with no recourse or reconstruction.
Everyone, even slaves suffered because of it. I can spin it in a pro-racism way but to make even faggot fencesitters understand that the way the end of slavery was handled ruined parts of the country I need to do some serious gymnastics just for them to consider maybe the Union fucked us over in a way that only makes a net loss for the country. Had WW1 and WW2 not happened with us getting involved I gurantee we'd have been royally fucked and impoverished to some extent. But even then, they will just be uppity and tout themselves as the moral superior because we're just bitter Southern racist hicks.

It has nothing to do with just race imo. It's the mishandling of a war and the mishandling of slavery with no deals to make with the losing side since they were "traitors".
I find the "affordable housing" con thats infesting our beautiful lands to be more destructive to everyone than even the slave economy. At least back then you had chances of being an indentured servant at a nice manor. Now it's a section 8 niggerville house with drugs and all.
Looking at historical South and even North pictures then vs now feels a lot like this scene. Urban decay, I guess.
I would gladly take slavery if it means we can be aristocratic American people in a republic of states once more, and have housing market stability to inspire more homesteading even among lower classes, but that's the most controversial take I have. Most of our imported goods come from the same slave labor. Why bother pretending to be what we aren't? Acting as if we're above slavery when every day someone's thoughts and labors are being exploited which holds companies and this country's stack of cards together. It really says a lot about how fucked Democracy is. When people believe they are morally in the heroic side they won't stop to question themselves or scrutinize themselves. They'll only torture us more until the country is dead and stagnated. The South itself and the rust belts stand as an example of this. The professionals, the businessmen, the academics, the thinkers put their foot in the door and sealed our fate in the 1960s. Our perceived stagnation is by design and it's a part of the modern progression of society. It first came in the form of phasing out industries. Then it spiralled into us paying the price and becoming the new normal which makes us tolerate this sorry state of affairs. It isn't critical race theory. Blacks were given communism; then Roots (the book and tv show that is a heavily mythologized story of slavery), then cocaine. They acknowledge the cocaine part but not the other prior aspects that altered their culture forever.
If we can acknowledge shit that changed white culture forever why can't people like flesh simulator acknowledge it with other races? I'll tell you why. It's a part of the malicious or misguided moral complex brought about by education, it's a part of his generation, and it's probably the anti-racist rhetoric that's been widely imprinted on most people without challenge. And when you lack challenge to your core beliefs you end up deluding yourself to a suicidal or fringe ideology that may as well be a fairy tale.
Final edit and a message in case he lurks:
You infantilize and dodge the issues of "black people" by being this disingenuous cunt to not even acknowledge the reasons why people ARE RACIST and have made stereotypes or memes about blacks. This has NOTHING to do with maps, data, graphs and such. It's all based on experiences people share in this society and even many blacks acklowledge their cultural problems which is why they move away from the ghetto nigger crab buckets. And when groups of people of common culture & ethnicity misbehave it's immediately noticed by pragmatic and average people. This is basic social science, you're in the know about these topics and seem informed enough. You're either a fed, a cuck, or a retard because this level of cognitive disonnance with mocking a core part of the audience is becoming malicious. You literally appeal to this audience of truth seeking types, no one cares about your centrism other than breadtube tourist faggots or zoomers from Wendigoon who have no idea about principles that go deeper than "government is bad and crazy haha I read anarchist cookbook". You sit on the fence and your ass will eventually be burned by both sides of the audience you fostered.
Pattern recognition and "bigotry" has been villified but people will think this way regardless if they have to censor themselves and blot out the "bad, bigoted thoughts". Subconsciously, you will always associate a crazy nigger chimpout or bike thief with a shitskin. And even if you don't, you know well enough why they became memes. It's not a fucking psyop, you're just gaslighting and coping from being on the brunt end of this fading worldview in which racism will always be evil to you. Racism (not even violent or cruel racism mind you, literally shitposts and age old stereotypes) is so evil, that you'll falsify history just to look like a "good person" for your generation. It speaks volumes on your character and contradicts your LARP and persona as this truth seeking enlightened person. Go eat a bag of dicks you stupid fucking new age hippie. YOU WILL NEVER BE GARY WEBB OR HUNTER S THOMPSON.
