Personally, I think it's problematic that a sitting Senator has a racial slur for a last name.

things sitting on my ebook reader mostly untouched:

the balkans: a short history by mark mazower
a history of yugoslavia by marie-janine calic

Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!
People say that letting the South re-secede would be an unmitigated humanitarian disaster for the majority of black people, who mostly live in the South. This would be true.

This is why, once the humanitarian disaster begins, it would be a just casus belli to re-invade the newly seceded CSA and topple said government, installing a favorable regime.

EDIT: Spelling.

yeah I’ve noticed that the whole “oh you said gently caress the south? you must HATE BLACK PEOPLE” argument just kind of stops there instead of arguing for helping their situation at all. doesn’t help that the southern democratic establishment has proven themselves to be the most useless of a useless party

We just need to honor the late Patrice O'neal's legacy by following his balkanisation plan, especially the part about turning Iowa into a big football stadium and using Idaho as the main source for slaves.

according to wikipedia, of the 21 active state defense forces, only 7 have weapons training, and CA is one of them.





Apparently they've been activated to help with the covid-19 response. A couple colonels doing corona stuff:



i could have sworn i read up on state defense forces several years ago and got the impression they were a complete joke, but I guess some of them are more than 5 fat guys that stand around once per year lol. But they are small, and do look like they have a lot of old farts among the ranks.
