Hey, welcome to BrainWorms.
This is a place where I post interesting things that I find and cant categorize into one of the main subs I follow. Enjoy a front seat as i descend into madness
founded 2 years ago
MODERATORS
Good. I’m not sure how the founding fathers didn’t conceive of this becoming a problem in the first place
The biggest mistake the founding fathers made was having faith in our ability to overcome (or at least resist) our worst traits.
And having slaves, too. That was a big mistake
Oh, jeez, yeah. Okay, having faith in people was their SECOND biggest mistake.
What about not letting women vote or count as people?
My initial reaction was “of course I don’t think sexism is okay. Give me a break”… but then I remembered that this is the internet, where lots of people do think sexism is okay. Plus, you have no idea who I am or what my personality is like. You asked a completely fair and reasonable question.
Social justice and progressive values are important to me. Sexism/bigotry are on the long list of things that the founding fathers got wrong.
Ah sorry, I meant it more as a joke to show that the founding fathers were flawed more than we can count, and holding them up on a pedestal that many people do is wrong. I was expecting a response like "Ah shit, okay maybe THIRD biggest mistake."
Lol okay, I get it! No problem.
