I don't see why Americanised Black Africans would be treated differently than African Americans, It was Lincoln after all who armed Ethiopia. Why would that be the case?

Looks interesting. On the subject of England, this thread may be an inspiration: I would also like some clarification, are Black Africans 'betters' or just not inferiors? A map would also be useful of who is white or not. The thing to remember is that while racism is incoherent it is...

@Napoleon53 I've just realised something: I have to say that I was never really pleased about how Buetalism was used in the original TL, it basically served the role of lunatic bomb throwers that where radical and widespread enough to annoy and enrage reactionaries but where capable of...

Well shit, I honestly forgot that. Putting aside the fact that this TL has some pretty big precedence for that sort of hypocrisy my suggestion is now a bit silly. Maybe:

With regards to Ayn Rand her philosophy was pretty much much Marxism turned on its head. Something that becomes obvious when you consider the fact that she grew up during the Russian Revolution. To make her fit into this world it would be important to take a close look at the context and...

Glad to hear it, the fact that this stuff weirds me out is a good thing this world should feel alien. I do advise you to tone down a bit with some of the references, when it goes a bit too on the nose it takes you out of the story. To give an example the fact that the Book of Manifestum refers...

I find some of the references to be rather confusing, why would a Crypto-Buetalist like Munroe be in favour of closer ties to the Bonaparte Empire? Why would he refer to an 'Economic Union'? That term sounds a bit too modern.

Very good, it's you that makes this TL after all.

This may be just me but I personally try to block my ears when it comes to discussing this kinda stuff, don't go to the slaughter house if you like meat sort of deal. Considering that Napo might base some of his future plot on the discussion here, should it not be the case that such advice must...

In conclusion Scotland is a land of contrasts. In all seriousness I think we all tried to correct effectively the same stereotype and ended up tangled up with each other, oh well at least you guys seem cool. @Napoleon53 there is something else that I wanted to ask you, will climate change...

That too is an oversimplification, before Edward II the Scots where seen as equals, after the Maid of Norway died and the dream of a personal union was dashed the Scots where lumped in with all the other Celts and seen as savages. While this situation did improve, right up to the start of this...

As I recall Scots are betters, if rather on the borderline.

I would add that no statesman would like the fact that the government does not have a monopoly on force, with these private armies running about.

Are there rats in the walls? Also what kinda of economic system is this? is it based on anything?

The proper term is Kapo or Capo, a term created by recent Italian Immigrants meaning 'bosses'. Going further with the concentration camp vibe, maybe Napo should do something with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitch_Wars might be interesting.

There is something about your TL that I am wondering about, The giant Napoleonic Brazilian-Argentinian state would be far more powerful than what most people would think due to its complete and undivided control over the Rio de La Plata. Such a combination in geopolitical terms is more...

....... I'm rather curious about whether the USA will ever have some nihilistic atheist movement challenge or overcome the theocracy, a 'Dark Enlightenment' if you will. "The better shall be uplifted to the ultimate stage of superintelligent, non-sentient capitalism".

I wonder how the Americans will deal with the African continent, a massive expansionist Liberia perhaps?

Something to remember however is that Lovecraft's racial views where rather incoherent at times. In 'The Doom That Came to Sarnath' the humans that genocide the toad people get annihilated in turn by literal act of (a) god. That honestly points to Lovecraft having some knowledge that his views...

That reminds me, with regards to the topic of the late period of this TL, will we see how the superstates deal with climate change? Due to accelerated industrialisation such an issue will be rather more severe than in our world.
