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”
“Briefly the us was the good guys when we killed a bunch of slavers”
“Looks at founding fathers… Yeah killed the slavers.”
Nobody said the founding fathers killed the slavers. Yes, the founding fathers were slavers. They were dead by the time the civil war came around, at which point the US was briefly the good guys when yes, they did in fact kill slavers. You’re being deliberately obtuse.
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.
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?

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?
They also killed the Nazis, except for the ones that were useful, of course.

Surely you jest in your obtuse interpretation of my composed articulation…
So you at least understand the comment you replied to wasn’t talking about the founding fathers… So why fucking bring them up?
You might want to open up a history book and see when slavery started in the colonies chief.
Re-read the comment chain chief.
