Edit: The whole argument seems like it's working backwards from a successful CSA scenario, trying to make facts fit the goal. If the CSA was ruled by brilliant, rational people with deep foresight, if the Union was ruled by blind, ignorant fools, if slave revolts made countries more tolerant, if poverty made countries richer, if ignorance made countries more innovative, if constant crises made countries strong... Why didn't it work like that elsewhere? They were inbred!
Here the one about Russian industrialization. It also compares them to Soviets.

Royal incest in Europe is very well known so I’m using wiki for it because you can add the dots together by looking at family tree. You don’t want your leaders of the country to have a bunch of genetic defects. They were so caught up with keeping things within the family and did not understand the genetic impact of it. Some had Kings that had bad mental and physical deformities. I think all of the kids or most of Russia last Tsar inherited diseases from Queen Victoria line due to incest over multiple generations. I just find it funny when Europeans labeled some places and people in the US as inbred but their country gave a real one a crown and country to rule while ones here are thought to live in backward places.
