I think it's cool we have a lot of dramatards from all over the world. Most are from the Anglosphere but it's still nice to learn about things I didn't know about like voice posting or Trudeau antics. We also have plenty of Brazilians and Latin Americans.
Do we have any Mexicans cos I don't seem to hear about them very often?
Of course there's Aevann but he doesn't seem to mention life in Egypt very often if ever.
Anyway, does anyone want to share any tidbits or anecdotes? Perhaps you'd like to clear up a misconception or shill for the motherland?
Of course most people here are American but if anyone wants I personally can talk about Texas/Cali/Colorado/Kansas.

had nothing but lovely experiences there and the people are very kind imo. it's unfortunate that you guys have to pay for all the silly stuff NYC decides on though, and your gun laws are so strict it was surprising!
i'm a leaf and i went to a gun show in clayton with my NY friend and it was basically no different than canada lol they made her fill out a slip with all her info to buy a box of ammo

Are there really more upstatecels? Obviously dont dox people lol but I only know of 2 other ones.

I really do like Canada tho when I wanna go do big city stuff I hang in Toronto for a day and its always a great time. Not sure if I would live there though lol. The gun laws are honestly worse the California at this point, probably the worse in the country. They just passed a law where you have to get a background check just to buy ammunition. But luckily you can still just drive down to Pennsylvania to buy some without having to deal with that.

Agreed.
I think in particular people don't realize a lot of the soldiers simply fought for their state so not every Confederate was truly immersed in the politics and vice versa for Union soldiers. Plus there was plenty of conscription.

Shelby Foote put it well when he said many of the Confederate soldiers were simply fighting because they saw their homeland being encroached upon. States in the US as originally envisioned were indeed "states" in the original definition of the word, so of course people were loyal to their homeland and not the federal government. I don't like talking about it much though because as I said it invites actual racists and r-slurs. AFAIK there isn't really any legal reason the Confederacy shouldn't have been allowed to secede.

Revisionist take, that type of thing was definitely wrong but again has different meaning when you operate under the assumption that each state is its own separate country. As to your first point, no shit they were. There were many northerners who wanted to allow the secession as well.
He was a good writer, and I'm not sourcing him. Just agreed with him that many southerners were simply fighting for their own "state".

Not even that long ago, either, and with effects that live to this day that are straight up still domestic issues that deserve attention.
