Why are foreign rightoids that post about American politics so dumb on average?

Don't get me wrong, American rightoids are dumb too, but there's like a special kind of r-sluration with foreign rightoids.

Why is a bong here trying to argue to me the civil war wasn't over slavery?

Isn't that a common thing people say about the civil war. "It was about states rights". But it was the states right to keep slavery. Mississippi's announcement literally says "only blacks can work in the sun" lol.

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun

Bro the state rights argument doesn't even make sense. One of the primary things the south was angry over was the federal government not enforcing the fugitive slave act on northern states.

Yeh I doubt the average non-American could understand the nuances of the civil war or how it's taught.

It's surprising seeing the civil war referred to as "the war of northern aggression" from people who grew up in the south. You'd think facts like the war announcements would make it clear slavery was the reason.
