That's the thing, without the slaveholder / ex slaveholder influence, there's no motivation to avoid Haiti anymore.
yes there was

they were an international pariah because they threatened the concept of white supremacy not just for southern planters, but for europeaners too. the idea that what they viewed as riff raff could have a revolution to overthrow an entrenched colonial elite and succeed could absolutely not be allowed to succeed, which is why international blockades against free trade were instituted against them much as cuba was blockaded a century and a half later.

nationalist colonialism and the attitudes of racial supremacy that it relied on to be seen as morally actionable had a long way to go, and most of those who were anti-slavery had a view leaning more towards "human, sure, but with conditions" than full equality, so it wasn't a cause any individual nation was willing to expend its international political capital on

There is no "well, let's let the haitian/chilean/cuban etc experiment play out and see if they succeed" to members of a ruling hegemony based on fragile, self-conflicting ideologies, because if some positive results show up, other people might start asking questions and next thing you know, they're out of the job and in a poorhouse, jail or ditch

people with worldviews where domination of others is a main trait cannot stand the mere existence of members of a culture that runs contrary to their assumedly unassailable status quo. or as public enemy said, "they put out my picture with silence because my identity by itself causes violence:" (a lot of this is because authoritarians and conspiracy theorists who are scared of fema camps and a coming white genocide under the Soviet Negro Republic are projecting what they'd do in the situation of their counterparts, and can't think in any other way but in the role of oppressor.)

We really should have won the war of 1812.
we definitely shouldn't have

it was baby's first invasion, under a staunchly republican administration (as opposed to more monarchy-sympathetic federalists) which refused to fund it through anything but private loan backing. we sent a bunch of poorly trained rednecks into a vast border expecting to win hearts and minds through a sweeping invasion we didn't have the numbers or provisions for that would have resulted in a quick victory and annexation of canada. however, the british military had actual discipline and could use the terrain to their advantage, and more importantly, the piece of poo poo invasionary forces had no discipline and so went about raiding british locals' farms and generally breeding resentment which led to the creation of a canadian national identity which didn't exist before, so where locals before wouldn't have had much problem with annexation, suddenly they resented the US.

as the years went on and private investors saw they weren't going to get a return on their loans, there was a debt crisis that threatened the existence of the US as default neared but luckily some botched attack on new orleans and general wariness of the britishof the greater napoleonic wars led them to be really bad at the negotiating table, allowing for return to pre-war borders and more importantly for the future of the US in opening up the western frontier, the british backing away from promises to protect settlements of native american allies in the western territories

with that last point I'd say, all things considered, that the US did win, since they no longer had to worry about retaliation for expansionist land grabs. (natives were portrayed of the press of that time with the language that in our day is given to terrorist insurgencies, so no longer facing an international response from the Empire meant they could go about Securing The Existence of Our Peoples through extermination without a second thought)

Wait, if they're antisocial, overly-practical, and indifferent/tuned-out to fashions etc. that happens to be have mostly black influences the RESULT is hyper-white but the causality/intentionality interpretation seems way off.

I don't think anyone who adopts that aesthetic goes out explicitly saying "I'm doing this because it's the white thing to do." if there's any intentionality involved, i'd guess it's on part of the type of parents who push their kids to academically succeed without much care for developing socialization skills while also knowingly sheltering them from specific influences.

after that, it's just people who were picked on owning and reshaping an identity that they fell into, unaware of the historical things that influenced their subculture

kustomkarkommando posted:

people have explained it to me and i still don't know

here's my attept an explanation:

it's some multimedia comic that uses standard comics with occasional flash animations and specially-created music. it's heavily self-referential, referential of things that happened in its fandom on social media while it was being ade, and thematically targets the middle class suburban nerd habitus (including gaming, time travel, anime swordfights, campy 80s/90s movies).

the story started as a pastiche of pc gaming where 4 kids are linked up in some sims-like game that transports you into some virtual world. over time, a bunch of new alternate/parallel universes and new main characters got introduced (including the "trolls" who are grey skinned aliens that probably eveyrone has heard of), and it became more like a soap opera for teenagers crying and dying in between anime plot twists. the plot doesn't make much sense to most people who would start trying to read it now because the guy who makes it is a bit stubborn and sticks to the insistence that "I planned all of this plot all along" when it's obviously just adding a bunch of plot twists as their gut leads them, hence why time travel and parallel universes have to be invoked as explanations. also the plot is sometimes tinkered to include things/characters that call out events or people in the fandom that they don't like. they've since settled down about doing that

it hasn't updated for a long time because of two things: 1- the author is trying to prepare some hour(?) long comic-ending animation that tries to bring all of the plot threads together. 2- there was a kickstarter for a homestuck video game which raised 2 million dollars which has run into a bunch of development difficulties (including the initial development studio running out with a bunch of money) and they don't want to end the comic before releasing the game

the comic itself isn't very good as a whole imo because it's too bulky and muddled but it's spawned/inspired a lot of artists to do offshoot works which are better. for instance, the video game undertale, made by one of the people who worked on the music for homestuck, is a separate thing which draws some influences from it, and does everything good that homestuck in a short work. on the mspa forums (since there were a few comic before homestuck, such as the shorter and better "problem sleuth" the forums are called the ms paint adventure forums) there's also a subforum for making choose-your-own-adventure type adventures, which is where some things like Kill Six Billion Demons came from.
