Wheeler Rides Again

Southern by birth, American due to the tyrant Lincoln’s war against my people. Unreconstructed. George Wallace fan. Race Realist.

[Wheeler Rides Again @joeridesagain]

Put yourself in the shoes of the average Southerner on the cusp of the war. You’re not a rich planter, but you’re well to do. The South had highest per capita wealth of anywhere in the country at the time. Your economy is predicated on growing cash crops to sell to Europe, much the same way Dubai’s economy is predicated on selling oil. Your living in some shape or form is tied to agriculture. Without it, you’re going to lose your high standard of living.

You’re living in a country that has increasingly becoming more hostile to your agrarian way of life. You think your relationship with the North has become abusive, yet you have little political means to improve the relationship. The North is rapidly industrializing. Millions of immigrants are flooding to the North to work in their factories and mills. Their being made citizens and their children are citizens. They are voting against you because they want more factories and jobs. They want to bring their relatives to America, and they need jobs for the children they are making. Every year that passes, the Congress is being more pro-North. Your South can’t keep up with the population growth because you’re already growing cotton and tobacco everywhere it can grow. You want to expand your economy to West, but you’re being blocked politically and by geography. You’re losing your influence in the Senate because the North is still adding free states. You’ve effectively lost all 3 branches of government in perpetuity.

You have little incentive to industrialize because that will throw away your high standard of living. You’d have to flood the South with immigrants who would only be resentful of your wealth, and vote for the same things their northern cousins want. You don’t need to industrialize. You’re selling your cash crops to the cheapest and most high-quality manufacturer in the world. The same merchant ships that haul the cotton to Europe return with almost every manufactured product you consume. It’s a highly profitable, highly efficient trade network for you and your English counterparts. You’re not just receiving luxury goods. It’s cookware, farm equipment, rail irons, medical instruments, guns, tools, spare parts, clothing, plows, clocks, dinner plates, glassware, everything. That trade is vital to all sectors of your economy, and all ways of life.

Now the Yankee is openly threatening your way of life. They want to end slavery immediately. You don’t own slaves. Not on any moral grounds, but because they are too expensive. You do understand and accept the importance of slavery in your society. Unless you phase slavery out carefully the plantation system will collapse. If the plantation system collapses it destroys your wealth. It severs that immensely profitable lifeline to Europe. It wipes out all the cottage industries that sprang up to support it. You can’t just turn blacks into sharecroppers. They don’t have the capital, knowledge, or support system in place to produce at the same level. Plantations work as well as they do because of central planning, economies of scale, and centralization. What’s worse is that wealthy Yankees are trying to stoke a slave rebellion, and their newspapers are singing the praises of men that want to see you dead.

Not only that, but the North is starting to utilize its political advantages to extract wealth directly from you. They pass tariffs on foreign trade to force you to buy their more expensive and often inferior products. There’s no ready made trade network in place so they charge more for shipping on Yankee ships and railroads. Overnight, your cost of living just greatly increased. You’re either going to have to buy more expensive, Yankee-made goods or pay 30% more for the English ones you prefer.

You’re angry, but you don’t see a way to fix this in current system. You come to the reasonable conclusion that there’s only one way out, and that’s succession.

@SluzbaWieziena Thank you.

[Wheeler Rides Again @joeridesagain]

Last week, I wrote about how the average cotton farmer got most of his calories from a corn and molasses diet. This week, I figured I’d cover the other cornerstone of his diet, pork. Pork provided the average cotton state Southerner with most of his proteins and fats, and it could be eaten year around without refrigeration. The pig was one of the few domesticated animals that could survive the pine forests, hot and humid climate, and parasites of the American South before the modern era. Survival is an understatement. Pigs thrive in the South. Owing to their omnivorous nature, they can make a meal out of nearly anything from roots, tubers, berries, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, grasses, worms, grubs, insects, lizards, snakes, rodents, frogs, birds, eggs, and baby larger mammals. They have no qualms about scavenging dead animals, even in advanced states of decay. Even in the Colonial Era, the deep South had few natural predators, and almost none that would chance a fight with a healthy adult. Our swamps, coastal plains, sprawling pine forests, and mountain hollers provided the pig with a veritable all-you-can-eat buffet. Their only major weakness as a domesticated animal in the premodern era is a susceptibility, especially for young pigs, to extreme cold. But the winters in the South are mild and even the coldest of cold snaps are short lived. The Conquistadors may have been the ones looking for paradise, but the pigs that came to America in the holds of those Spanish galleons are the ones that actually found it. 

Wheeler, you may ask, why didn’t the South try raising other animals? Why not cows? Cows require that the land be converted first to pasture, and any plot of land large enough to sustain cows would be far more valuable as a cotton field. Spanish Goats do well in the American South, why didn’t the South raise more goats? There were some goats, but goats before the advent of barbed wire and electric fences are notoriously difficult to contain. A half Chinese, half black homosexual Jewish prostitute would receive a warmer welcome in a community of cotton planters than a largescale goat herder. Goats had plenty of natural predators in the South, even once they reach maturity. More importantly, goats reproduce slower and grow slower than pigs. A goat’s gestation period is roughly 150 days. A pigs gestation period is 114 days. A Spanish goat will usually have 1-2 babies. A pig will litter 8-12 babies. A goat struggles to give birth twice a year. A pig can reliably do 2.3-2.5 litters a year. A one-year-old pig will weigh 200-300 pounds. A goat will only get to 60-100 pounds during the same time period.

Why wasn’t the chicken the cornerstone of the premodern Southerner’s diet? Before chicken wire, it was incredibly difficult to protect chickens from predators. The South was full of hawks, opossums, snakes, foxes, owls, skunks, bobcats, and raccoons looking for a nice chicken or egg dinner. More importantly, a chicken cannot reliably forage its diet like a pig can. You’d be planting crops that have only a third of the value of cotton to input into a chicken operation that won’t produce as much meat as pigs. And before refrigeration, the only reliable way to preserve a significant quantity of chicken was canning. Self-sealing canning jars were not invented until 1915. Sheep? I’ll let you come to the conclusion why an extremely humid climate that has average summer highs in the 90’s won’t be ideal for sheep. There were some around the coasts, but it was never more than a cottage industry.

So fellow Southerner, you are what you ate, and what you ate was pork. Lots of it. More than any other animal until the 1960’s. Soon, I’ll explain the process of turning live pigs into shelf stable meat before refrigeration or electricity. Until next time, Deo vindice friends.

We live in a time hunger doesn’t really exist in this country. When you see it, it’s usually directly tied to drug addiction or mental illness, or both. Outside of neglect and abuse situations, there’s almost no hungry children. In fact, we’ve got the opposite problem. Our poorest are becoming the most obese. We’re literally feeding our poor to death.

Unfortunately, that hasn’t been true for very long. Malnutrition plagued the rural South for 70 years after the Civil War, especially the cotton states. That’s not to say that starvation plagued the South because while it did occur, it was relatively rare. The average farmer usually met his and his family’s caloric intake. The problem was that he could not easily or cheaply maintain the correct nutritional balance due to their over-reliance on corn products (grits and corn mill) milled in the Midwest, molasses, and smoked pork. This diet will give your body plenty of calories and has adequate protein, but it is horribly lacking in important nutrients, most notably niacin (vitamin B3). This lead to many ailments and diseases, chief amongst them pellagra. Pellagra was characterized by the “4 D’s,” dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death. At its height in 1929, there were 230000 pellagra cases and 7000 people were dying from it annually.

But Wheeler you may ask, how did the agrarian South not grow enough fruits and vegetables to stave off malnutrition and death, isn’t the South a great place to grow these crops? Yes it is, but there’s 2 reasons why we didn’t grown fresh fruits and vegetables in quantity. The first is relatively simple, scientists didn’t properly understand the link between the lack of niacin and pellagra. They literally had to promise prison inmates a pardon in exchange for eating a poor diet for months until they contracted the disease to prove its origin. The second reason is something we’ll call cotton math. In 1920, cotton sold for $.33 per pound. A bushel of corn sold for $.54. A bushel of corn weighs 56 lbs. The average yield for an acre of cotton was 190 lbs. The average yield for a corn field was 29 bushels. An acre of cotton was worth $62.70. An acre of corn was worth $15.66. Farmers would plant supplemental gardens, but aside from a horribly excruciating death from pellagra, the economics favored growing cotton and buying your carbohydrates from the store. Since many farmers were sharecroppers, they didn’t have a choice regardless, as they had to plant whatever crop their landlord told them to plant.

Until next time, Deo vindice friends.

You’ve been civil, and your logic and grammar is better than your average counterparts, so I’ll accord you a measure of respect. You’ve earned as much.

The average IQ in India is around 73. That’s nearing the threshold of being too stupid to be held accountable for a crime in the US. It would absolutely place you into a special education program in any public school. There’s a reason that 25000 get run over by trains each year after all.

That said, I’ll concede there are some very intelligent Indians. There’s well over a billion Indians on this Earth. A 148 IQ is 5 standards of deviation from your mean IQ of 73. The math says that .0003% of Indians would be that intelligent. That’s 30000 people out of your entire population that could provide a real benefit to my country if they would fully embrace its culture.

The biggest problem we have today is that Indians will work for much less than an American. The average American is probably going to outperform the Indian and is far better educated, but he spent $40-$80k on college. He has to cover a wife, kids, car payments, and a home mortgage because that’s always been the American dream. Then corporate greed came into play and all of a sudden big tech companies started to appoint Indian CEO’s. Granted these were the one in a million sort of Indians that went to Ivy League type schools, but they gained their positions on one promise, drastically reducing labor costs. All of a sudden, that American used to making $200k a year was being undermined by an Indian willing to work for $75k. Long term is going to result in a worse product, but CEO’s have a relatively short lifespan and board of directors care more about short term stock price than anything else.

We could handle the competition from the absolute best of the best, but at some point India started to send us the diploma mill villagers. Once Indians gain a free positions of power, Indians only hire other Indians. As white people, we’d have the government in our ass so far they could see our teeth if we only hired white people. But the EOCC turns a blind eye to Indians. And far too often have we’ve found too many instances of Indian hiring managers demanding kick backs from the Indians they hire. Not only does that remove merit entirely, white people would go to jail for that. And it didn’t stop with Tech. Now Indians are doing food delivery and ride share work. We’re giving visas out to gig work that never had a lack of domestic labor. We’re giving out commercial drivers licenses to the same Indians that can’t fathom a way not to get hit by a train, that grew up in a country that almost completely disregards driving rules.

Just so you’re aware, I’m someone who a couple of decades ago scored in the top 95% on both the SAT and ACT. I went to college completely for free. Thankfully, I will never be replaced by an Indian in my lifetime. I don’t work in tech, accounting, or any industry that is in danger. But that’s because by happenstance I choose the right field. If I followed the money instead of my passion, I might have.

That said, you’d hate me if I displaced you in your own country. You wouldn’t take kindly to me building 100 ft statues to the Risen Lord Himself, Jesus Christ all over India. If you saw white people shitting in public you’d take offense.

[Wheeler Rides Again @joeridesagain]

You’re not wanted here. Every Indian added only makes America more like India. If you were capable of making our society, you’d had done so already.

[Sayantika @SayantikaSays]

This is just a normal village in the US. But this is a dream for many Indians including me.

In a nut shell, but it’s very labor intensive job with multiple steps. As a child, I participated in several outdoor hog killings. The only reason my family stopped raising hogs was because Smithfield dropped the price of live hogs from $.60 to less than $.10 per pound. I never salted or smoked pork because we had deep freezes, but my father did well into the 60’s.

@BYodeler @swamp_ist Do you have something against rampant crime, drug use, and urban decay?

[Wheeler Rides Again @joeridesagain]

You’re welcome. I’ve got a deep abiding love for the South, particularly the Deep South from Reconstruction to the Great Depression. My grandmother was a daughter of a sharecropper who came of age in the Depression. She was picking cotton from age 3 until mechanical pickers made hand picking cotton no longer economically viable. She’s been gone now for 20 years, but I was always fascinated with her stories of just everyday survival.
