Some of them are flying the Confederate flag in Alberta!

Historically Europe (and the British Empire) sided with the confederacy because they saw a united USA as a potential industrial rival, whereas the south was more of a resource colony. Interestingly there was a major class divide in Europe where the working classes were anti-slavery and therefore anti-confederate wheras the upper classes saw the confederate cause being in their interest. There's a book about this called A Cause for All Nations by Don Doyle.

My understanding is that nowadays the confederate flag is used by people outside the USA who are on the fascist end of the spectrum for whom Nazi or fascist symbols are too extreme (or just illegal) in their countries.

He's made his bed with the Silicon Valley elite and now he has to do their unpopular things. All that money comes with strings.

Reality is about to get all melty and people are gonna have six fingers.

Cmon man. Yes I've been a few places in sailboats. North sea in the winter for one. You clearly were trying to refer to Cape Horn and The Cape of Good Hope (or Cape Agulhas). Just take the L and don't be a twat.

I assume you mean "both capes." While this line does come within a few thousand miles of the Horn of Africa, that's not known as an especially hard sailing area but maybe for pirates.

Sailing this line in the other direction would be considerably harder.

He ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. That's for sure. I think the world is gonna roll him. The ice is getting pretty thin, the water's warm. Do you think he can swim?
