Never forget those who've died for us

You missed out the millions of Native Americans that died to make way for your great country (that was built on stolen land) and will never have their land back. And the hundreds of languages and cultures that have been obliterated and forever lost to history.

And the millions of slaves that died on sugar plantations so Europeans could satisfy their sweet tooth.

So yes, I agree we should remember all the people who've died for the US. Good call. I approve.

The planet is a living, evolving thing, and that includes the humans who live here.

Sure, get all the phony moral righteousness all rolled up into a big ball and try to use it to explain how the US treated the natives, but it doesn't apply to just us, because that's what humans have been doing to each other since our species became a species. It's nothing new to this continent, or this country.

What about the many more cultures and languages that have died out, mostly through being conquered by other cultures, that had nothing to do with US expansion, and manifest destiny? Yes, it would be nice to force, un-naturally, those cultures and languages to still exist. But it just doesn't work that way. At least with modern technology, we can preserve in digital form, any cultures / languages that are dying out today. It's better than nothing.

As for slavery, wasn't it the UK and the US who were the early, significant countries that banned slavery? If you want to make an argument about the horrors of slaver, go right ahead, because any form of human bondage is horrible. But don't lay the blame with the countries that actually took the first steps to abolish it.

btw, I don't ever see those on the left complaining about current slave trading. Hell, the Brandon administration let over 300K unaccompanied minors into the country, and didn't bother to track them. How many of those poor souls were forced into slavery, or to become a sex slave?

Where's the lefts phony moral outrage against that? Nowhere. When Trump had ICE raid an illegal weed farm here in Taxifornia, and freed some of those poor kids, all the left did was cry fascist for deporting illegals who engaged in slave trading. Think about that for a little while.

IF the left had any consistency as far as any of these issues go, I'd be on their side. But the sad reality is that they only use an issue when they think they can take down Trump. That's no way to behave, let alone behave politically.

So save the phony moral outrage. Nobody is fooled by it.

My only comment is the US banned the slave TRADE in 1808 that didn’t outlaw slavery by the time slavery was banned a ton of other countries including UK had already banned it. The US was kinda late to the game about it

It’s not about taking down Trump. It’s never been. It’s been about what’s right and what’s wrong. Undermining the very constitution our founding fathers created is not a joke. I don’t care if it was Biden if he was doing the same stuff or had done near the same amount id be against him

Bullshit

This post was about the fallen soldiers

While I won’t deny how we went about taking this country might have not been the most ethical we can’t go back on the past tho… so the best we can do is try and make sure it doesn’t happen again

And yes this country was built on slavery and Tobacco and sugar
