Taking Brazilian Civ this semester, and one of the books I'm going to need to write an essay on is about a certain incident in Bahia. So cheers for the prep assistance @Jonathan Edelstein

It was the closest race in the country that year- high profile challenger, vulnerable seat that had been Republican since the days of Grover Cleveland, and Cronin was a nobody. Kerry lost because the Lowell Sun is a historically Republican newspaper that went all in against him (and has been...

ITTL he lost the seat in '72.

Blame the airlines for the delay.

I suspect food, more than most other things, will remain varied based on local conditions. No matter how obsessed with social engineering a regime is, it will have to pick its battles. This thread in general seems to go under the assumption that the Societists will have the desire and the...

Ludendorff only barely a Junker- a Pomeranian, not a Prussian, and the son of a middle-class boy who married into the lowest nobility their is. The name gives it away- there's no "von." He rose high on merit, and like many middle class boys who do the same, he was hyperaware of when he wasn't...

I mean if you're a Hungarian or Slavic Nationalist, or a Pan-Germanist.

OOC: @Scorpio Retindar the first rule of improv stuff is you build on people's additions, rather than undercutting them. For instance, I'm implying that in Austria, there was a wave of conservative backlash that settled down after a couple of years.

How are you guys missing Ludendorff? One of the top extreme-right leaders of the day plus a general? Fucking whacked in the head, of course, but he was the only one with the resume. And once he died, it would be a good time for the adults in the room to knock some sense into people. And...

Well, look, there was all sorts of that nonsense going around back then. Read Great Gatsby, the pseudoscience was a part of the package. You underestimate them- it's shocking the conservative governments of the 40's and 50's weren't more hard-knuckled, after twenty years of drastic shifts to...

Now I'm dead curious to see how the TimeLine L boys are holding up through Corona.

@TastySpam I agree that Harriot is, well... a blinkered asshole who is just talented enough as a writer to pass off his distortions as some sort of speaking truth to power. His election takes were particularly atrocious. However, a stopped clock is right twice a day, and viewing Reconstruction...

There's an almost absurd level of apolitical thought here. @Moderate Hero was the closest of you lot to hitting on it. First of, @NHBL - you're asking the wrong question. Of course there will be a Lost Cause argument of some form. That is literally fucking inevitable. There are pro-Nazi...

So, a few takeaways from these last few chapters. The Las Estrellas school pretty much wrapping around until it becomes a key influence of Diversitarianism seems to me a lot like just about every Trotskyist with a brain becoming a Neo-Con. Interesting stuff. Seems like Tayloe and Fouracre are...
