    >Rich, white, slaveowning males living on stolen land breaks away from the British Empire to create a country even more favourable for Rich white males

    >Nerds glorifying you to the point of godhood and preserving your hastily scrawled constitution to the death centuries later

    Fellas, why are we doing a communism when governance was perfected by people who considered Scandinavians “”“tawny”“”??? Look at the outcome! The richest nation in the history of the planet! Only 2 political parties that overlap 90% of the time! A fundamental ideology that’s impervious to time and amendments!

    They didn’t want the poor masses holding power then, and the poor masses don’t hold power now!

    They wanted the coloureds to be an underclass of serfs and servants then, and the coloureds are still largely serfs and servants now!

    They wanted imperialism and genocide then, and they’re still doing imperialism and genocide now!

    They wanted women to be second class citizens then, and women are still second class citizens now!

    The rich wrote the laws then, and the rich still write the laws now!

      reminded me of this

      Colonists steal native land and rename it Massachusetts. Centuries of exploitation, slavery, and war go by to establish white supremacist authority in the region. Henry David Thoreau is born. He goes to live in a shack his friend helped him build and his sister and mom helped him finance. The property is owned and controlled privately and administered by an evil slave-owning empire. His mom visits twice per week to give him pies and clean his socks. He regularly goes into town to buy food grown by exploited farm labor and probably slaves too.

      Thoreau: “Ah, untapped, unspoiled nature. Living off the land and writing fancy boy essays. I’m truly the master of my own destiny.”
