White Americans children on average perform pretty similar to kids in Japan and Europe. Of course the national average is dragged down by a particular group whose true holy name is to sacred to be said.
Like seriously it’s actually insane how you look at the stats people lambast America for and almost *everytime* you can look under the surface and see whose the cause of of it.
Imagine how much better our cities would be with 50% less crime.
It always amuses me when Europeans mock America for being violent and savage and characterize it as some Appalachian hillbillies doing the violence. Name the African and you will be amazed at how they recoil!
Try Coulter, though he doesn’t go all the way up to Jim Crow. The idea that successful low-level warfare caused the fed to retreat is my own impression.
The Confederate Reprint Company has some good unreconstructed accounts of it. Unfortunately a lot of Lost Causers still buy into Negrolatry and pay obeisance to egalitarianism, which renders their resistance to the Regime toothless.

THANK. YOU.
I know what I'm going to say is complete heresy in Dissident Right circles, but fuck it:
PROTESTANTS ARE NOT TO BLAME FOR LEFTISM, CATHOLICS ARE.
The Catholic Counter-Reformation, and the Jesuits in particular, invented this extremely lethal poison called Arminianism (whose offshoots are the Quakers, the Methodists, the Baptists, the Universalists and others) to destroy the Reformation from within, and infected the Yanks with it in during the first two Great Awakenings, along with organizing hordes of Catholic Irish migrants through Tammany Hall. Arminianism is the complete 180 inversion of Calvinism: it is nothing but rebranded Pelagianism, which is itself a requirement for leftism.
ARMINIANS ARE NOT PROTESTANT, MUCH LESS CALVINIST.
PURITANS WOULD BURN ARMINIANS ALIVE, even as the English Monarchy disapproved of said persecution. Case in point: the "Boston Martyrs".
Read John Knox's First Blast of the Trumpet and tell me he was a Leftist.
Read John Cotton's Abstract of the Laws of New England and tell me he was a Leftist.
Read Robert Lewis Dabney's famous quote on "conservatives that never conserve anything" which preceded the "Cuckservative" epithet by a century and a half, and tell me he was a Leftist.
I am not going to say that the Puritans were perfect, but seeing so many Papists crying out as they stab the WASPs sickens me.
“The Catholic Counter-Reformation, and the Jesuits in particular, invented this extremely lethal poison called Arminianism”
I seem to recall some very evil sects of Protestants which seemed leftist splitting off near the very beginning, before the counter-reformation really got going. And of course earlier leftist Christian cults like the Cathars. But it’s worth looking into the Jesuits. Though, as a more or less independent intelligence agency within the Catholic church, it’s probably not proper to blame “the Catholics” at large for leftism. The Popes have generally been doing the bidding of secular powers since Charles V sacked Rome.
First of all, thanks for having the courage to entertain the topic.

I assume you mean the people of the Radical Reformation (Thomas Müntzer, etc), which were vehemently opposed by the Magisterial Reformation of Luther and Calvin (Luther wrote a book against them, "Against the Murderous, Thieving Hordes of Peasants")
Those people were not Protestant. Protestant comes from the pro-Lutheran Protestation at Speyer in 1529 and is defined by the Five Solas. Anything other than Lutheranism or Calvinism, while it might be considered a "reformation movement", is not Protestant.
The Counter-Reformation basically had a propaganda campaign where they amalgamated every non-Catholic, post-Schism western Christian movement as "Protestant", which is why pop historians class as Protestant movements like Savonarola's (a Dominican friar and self-acknowledged prophet, which goes against the Protestant doctrine of Cessationism) and Mormonism (which of course goes against Sola Scriptura by inventing its own book, putting it on par with Islam)
Protestantism cannot be the origin of leftism because if you took Sola Scriptura to its logical extreme (which the Reformers were sadly too scared to do) you'd end up with something like the Nazarenes, which were Judaizers who followed the laws of the Old Testament in all its hardcore patriarchal, ethnonationalist, domineering glory.
Also, it's funny how the most "based and redpilled countries" in history were vehemently Protestant (Prussia, the Confederate States of America, Apartheid South-Africa) but no internet right-winger seems to notice the pattern.
Now to the second point: why the Catholic Church and the Jesuits in particular are to blame for (western) leftism.
-Monasticism, which Catholicism encourages but Protestantism deems unscriptural, has always been a hotbed of leftist lunatics: Joachim of Fiore, Meister Eckhart, Savonarola... I mean, they are literal pacifist vegan virgins with no right to private property, what else can you expect?
-Communism was first put into practice by the Jesuits in the 16th century in their South American Reductions, three centuries before Marx. They also organized the natives to fight the Iberian settlers. Where do you think the Catholic Liberation Theology came from?
-The Enlightenment was the product of Jesuit-trained intellectuals. Voltaire? Educated by Jesuits. Diderot? Educated by Jesuits. Rousseau? Born Calvinist, but converted to Catholicism by a woman on the payroll of the Counter-Reformation in Savoy. Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès, the pamphleteer of the French Revolution? Educated by Jesuits.
-Who was behind Martin Luther King, Jr? Jesuit John LaFarge, Jr.
-Why was Nelson Mandela a Knight of Malta?
I could go on and on, but that's a big enough wall of text.
Excellent essay. Thank you for publishing it. I learned a lot. I am now aware of just how ignorant I am on the subject of the history of the South.
I think we can all see where egalitarianism has brought us. But if your lesson from history about egalitarian impulses tells us anything it is a philosophy that works best from a distance. We are all aware today's most enthusiastic equalitarians make sure to live as far away from their favored victims as they can get. The Obamas couldn't get out of Chicago quickly enough.
As ever the antidote is real life. Yesteryear's apartheid may become tomorrow's survival tactic.
“Ordeal of Incivility” is a riff on Cuddihy’s “Ordeal of Civility”, the resentment felt by less-civilized people attempting to integrate into Anglo America. This would be the inverse process- contact with the savage shaking the beliefs of the more civilized.
It is indeed Faustian- Spengler chose this term carefully to describe the tragedy inherent in reaching toward the infinite and attempting to do the impossible. Just as much as there is external infinity, there is internal infinity in the worldview of Faustian man, from the rites of confession and contrition to modern psychoanalysis. The real tragedy is that the external infinite project- colonizing the stars- has been subsumed into the internal-infinite project of raising up lesser man.
The “KKK strategy” is no longer possible. For war to be waged, need either secure communications or physical security against enemy action, and we have neither. I am personally of the view that at this point, only external war is likely to defeat the enemy. If you read this site from the beginning, you may understand why I believe this.
You're very well read into history, quite impressive.

Is there a good recommendation for a real history of Reconstruction?
