Hey. Guess what? At the moment, we're the bad guys...
At the moment? When was there ever a time the US weren't the bad guys?
Briefly the us was the good guys when we killed a bunch of slavers and then when we killed a bunch of fascists. Those were exceptions to the rule though.
Looks at founding fathers... Yeah killed the slavers. Puts blanket over Native Indians. Hides Chinese rail workers under rug. Renames Irish "Indentured workers"
They also killed the Nazis, except for the ones that were useful, of course.
They were clearly talking about the Union during the Civil War...
Yeah that's pretty obvious what's your point?
What's the relevance of the founding fathers, then?
The original slavers you mean?
I'm repeating the words you used. What's the relevance?
You forgot to say please.
Surely you jest in your obtuse interpretation of my composed articulation...
You might want to open up a history book and see when slavery started in the colonies chief.
I kinda root for them in the war of independence
Pretty much all Western countries looked up to the US between 1945 and 2016 (or so).
Presumably, you're the kind of person who thinks we've all been the bad guys the whole time, though. And TBF shit things were done, it's just that everyone else has been even more shit.
Yup
