How many goddamn wars over this do we need
(lemmy.world)
Relevant for over 44 years:
That's what i used to tell my English mom when she told me to do chores. Sorry Victoria, we had a whole war about it and I don't have to do what you tell me.
"You're my mom? I didn't vote for you!"
Wait till OP learns about what America did to non-white people in its' history.
The Nuremberg race laws were inspired by JimCrow and were actually less restrictive.

This country was built on the broken bodies of the victims of slavery, genocide, and exploitation. The soil is rotten, and the tree that grows there bears rotten fruit.
Confederate, slaver, nazi, Proud American, these are all synonyms.
That is literally every country on earth. The human condition is slavery, genocide, and exploitation, which is why we are the only species left in the genus Homo. This is not a uniquely American thing.
We are far more like ants in our eusociality, and all we can do is hopefully recognize that tribalism for what it is and try to do/be better as we move forward.

You don’t get to be a proud american period, since the Confederacy lost the battle but won the war (see the thirteenth amendment) and the USA inspired and created the Nazis (Ford/Rockefeller funding for instance) and then rescued thousands of their leaders after WW2 (Operation Paperclip, Operation Bloodstone). What’s the difference between Nazis and a society that rescues them?
