Yeah it does. Firstly, outside the former confederacy segregation wasn’t as sticky of an issue. That’s not to say we aren’t racist, we’re just less comfortable announcing it. In the Midwest people of his generation would be using euphemisms. Like I’m in my 30s and spend most of my life in Ohio and never heard an old person in that region call for segregation even when they’re shitfaced, instead they talk about drugs, crime, “inner city types”, and rap music when they want to be anti black.
American bigotry has very regional flavoring and southern is notoriously shameless.
The other big thing is that the Christianity he’s rejecting sounds like southern Christianity. Every region of the US has it’s vibes of what they mean when they say Christian.
So yeah it’s everything he reads as foreign to me as an Aussie. The mason Dixon line feels to many Americans as much a cultural divide as the border with Canada, though ontarians have always seemed more reasonable than southerners.
That wiki entry really does it no justice. That website was a raw stream of unhandled brain-gasm. It should have been preserved. Or maybe it was too dangerous exist.
That chart…
EARTH HAS 4 CORNER
SIMULTANEOUS 4-DAY
TIME CUBE
The time cube is the most southern schizophrenic thing I’ve ever read
Does it really vary much by region?
You do seem to be right about him being from the southern US, his obit linked from the wiki says he was born and died in Alabama.

Here’s the last archive.
CW: everything but misogyny, it’s remarkable how little misogyny there is in a schizophrenic screed against Jewish, black, queer, and educated people
Yeahh, that’s the good shit.
Fuck sake not time cube again lol.
“I’m bi-racial”
“You’re WHAT?!”
