POG Politics Thread Version 3
Come on in! Since Dustin is taking his ball and going home, it's time to start a new politics thread.
Arnold!!!
Usa is the best and always has been and always will be.
Sometimes in my toughest times there are only one set of footprints in the sand because I'm being carried by USA.
George Washington? he owned slaves. he was also the largest land owner in the world. obv all stolen land in a genocide.
UK wanted less expansion in the colony because it was too expensive for UK. they also wanted less slavery.
that's why the "founding fathers" wanted indepence, so they could keep their slaves and keep stealing land in a genocide of the merciless indian savages. it wasnt' about freedom and democracy lmao
Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude told me that is an incorrect, inaccuate and misleading portrayal of history.
ai is notoriously racist and biased
it's clear that UK was less into slavery. meanwhile the founding fathers were massively into slavery.
also undeniable the founding fathers were all about stealing land. they wrote about it in the fricking declaration! in their own words! they are unhappy with UK policy towards natives.
also clearly had 0 interest in democracy. only land owning white males could vote. that's not a democracy
citation does not imply endorsement
the revolution extended slavery and genocide.
most natives and Africans fought on the side of the brittish. after the war, USA slavery exploded and so did genocide.
look at the map of USA in 1777, and look at the map in 1877
capitalism was progressive compared to feudalism
Massachusetts abolished slavery before England
absurd to call a society a democracy when ~10% of the population has the right to vote
agreed.
I wish I could be more of a Marxist, but I couldn't handle reading Marx. most of what I know about marx I just got from birdman and my imagination
reading Marx
you have to really want to get through it
like yoda says of the ancient Jedi texts:
Spoiler
page turners they were not
incidentally, we're watching Ep. VI right now as an elementary-age Independence Day experience and discussion context
"no kings", collective self-rule, etc.
people who hate their present and have no hope for their future imagine their glorious past
