A lot of the founding fathers were invested in land speculation companies (kinda similar to Blackrock but with less restrictions). And one of their big complaints to the crown was that they weren’t allowed to go on extermination campaigns (like the Beaver Wars) whenever they pleased in order to pressure tribes into selling. The british govt drew a hard line at the Appalachians.
Then after the Revolution, one of George Washington’s first acts in office was to start the Northwest Indian War. History books emphasize the taxation aspect because it’s more sympathetic, but don’t really draw the arrow on the chart connecting the precedents for the Revolutionary War with events like the Trail of Tears and Tecumseh’s war. In the schoolbooks those things just sorta happened…for reasons.
I hope he will grow out of it in a few years, he is still young enough to have a chance to drop the PatShit before it gets too too ingrained. But who knows shrug…
Ultimate test of whether you’re a Patsoc or not. Are you excited for July 4?
No. It’s obnoxious. But I get holiday pay today. So that’s cool.
I’m only excited if we get to burn the flag
Only excited because one of these July 4 holidays will be the last one the empire celebrates.

Yea I mean, the class politics and slavery certainly didn’t change. Neither did indentured servitude
