    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 ever see something that’s so wrong at so many points you can’t even work out where to start correcting?
