Some excerpts from the white flight chapter of Jeremy Carl's "The Unprotected Class": The "racial transformation" of urban neighborhoods in the 50s-80s was incredibly rapid, South Shore going from 96% white to 94% black in 30 years. Image
I did not know Rosa Parks was attacked in her own home in Detroit (by a black man). Image
"White flight resembles ethnic cleansing, but we blame the victims rather than the perpetrators." Image
Apparently, black city home value as percentage of white value follows the Baby Boom Pattern. Image
California voted to allow individual racial discrimination by homeowners when selling as a matter of property rights. This was, as is often the case, overturned by the Warren Court. Image
Image
Rosedale mentioned. Mass racial revenge rapes of the elderly, sometimes covered up for with hate crime hoaxes. Image
Image
Obama Administration's post-08 mortgage modifications essentially handed hundreds of billions to minorities. Image
AFFH: an Obama Admin policy to force cities everywhere in the country to build dense subsidized housing ("affordable") and actively recruit blacks to live there. Image

Some excerpts from a 2013 US Govt report entitled "The Strategic Consequences of Chinese Racism." Image
The Chinese see multiculturalism as a sickness in the American body politic destroying a formerly-strong principally Anglo-Protestant US society. Racism keeps Chinese society strong and united against outsiders. Image
Image
The report recommends US policymakers emphasize how open America is to immigrants and the many privileges to which nonwhites and women are entitled to attract other countries by appearing more inclusive than China. Why this would be attractive to third parties is left unsaid. Image

Thread with excerpts from "How the War Was Won". Three basic theses:
1) Air-sea battle was more important than land to WWII, with all combatants except USSR focusing on it...
2) ...because it can interdict production before battle.
3) Eastern front was a sideshow, like China. Image
Germany, Japan, US, and UK all dedicated 65-80% of their economies to aircraft, ships, and anti-aircraft equipment. Aluminum, crtitical for aircraft production, was thus as or more important than the more famous (Rise and Fall of the Great Powers) steel production. Image
In 1944, when German production peaked, about half was dedicated to aircraft alone (not counting their weapons and ammunition), and the Germans had more aircraft workers than the US (though they were far less productive thanks to the bombings forcing dispersal). Image

Wrong. Also easily checkable, like most wrong hot takes on this site. Unless you think healthy Western civilization started in 1970. Image
By the way, since we know contraception/family planning/abortion were not in common use until 1760 (France)/1870 (rest of Europe) and bastardry/cuckoldry rates were both very low, we can be confident this goes back to at least 1300 (less evidence before then). Image

Some excerpts from Russia Under the Bolshevik Regime (Pipes). Key difference between Russia, where the Bolsheviks succeeded, and the rest of Europe, where they failed, is that the masses of the rest of Europe were at least a little bit patriotic. Image

Of the big Euro socialist parties, the Italians PSI joined the Comintern, but was expelled for not expelling the minority who didn't want to. The German and British Communists were unable to take over SPD/Labour, respectively. Only in France did the major socialist party join. Image
Image
Image
Communists being comparatively rare and treated with suspicion abroad, most Soviet support abroad came from liberals and fellow travelers. Image

Quick thread on The Rise of Christianity (Rodney Stark, 1996). Stark estimates that Christianity grew ~40% per decade until it made up half the Roman Empire, comparable to Mormonism (up until the 90s, I don't know about today). Image
Stark observes that contemporary cults (as distinguished from sects, which split off from conventional religion) overwhelmingly recruit from the religiously-unattached upper stratum of society, and infers that Christianity probably did too. Image
Image
Image
He also argues that, as religions overwhelmingly recruit within social networks and it's easier to change with a sense of continuity, early Christianity was probably dominated by Jewish converts. Image

Thread with excerpts from "South Africa's Brave New World." The white establishment gave up gracefully, despite having the military power to fight. The author himself fought apartheid and doesn't regret it, despite his findings. Image
Image
Image
Immediate capital flight amid massive corruption from the ANC. Chief ambition of much of the new elite: opening casinos, assumed to be a license to print money. Shades of US states doing the same for tax revenue.Image
Image
Assassination was a common tool for the ANC elite both in exile and again in power. The author believes the ANC was involved in the assassination of Hani, a left-wing ANC leader, due to his threat to Mbeki. Image
