Im brain dead atm

Earthworks existed. I mean the british took great offense to our highly successful guerrilla tactics

Yup

Still the main reason we won

Along with the help of the French fleet

And col Lafayette's military advisement helped a bit

Nah

Fake news

Yeah?

Werent him and G Wash besties?

Nah

He never met that Nigga

Huh, I guess I need to read up on it more

Totally

Lol it's weird to think that they went from being a power house to shit

Indeed. But I have hope that theres a bit of embers from the Bastille burning in them

Speaking of which, I find it extremely odd that the world is in flames but we here stateside have become complacent

It be like that. Bread and circuses

Everyone is essentially in rebellion

We have it so comfy. I doubt most would trade that for more or true freedom

You're not wrong

Ironically most people would actually prefer an authoritarian styled government

Its easier to have someone tell you what you can/cant do than make those big brained decisions yourselves. They're one step removed from serfs

^^

Why make a decision when you can just clock in and out of work and go about your day

While it is a great and heavy burden, at the end of the day the weight of a soldier's pack is far lighter than a slave's chains. At least for me it is. The problem is, most people don't see or dont want to acknowledge theirs

That's why democracy or republicanism doesn't work in certain places

"I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees"

Death before dishonor and all that

Not to shit on religion but that's what I do dislike about it. It's how you control the masses

Why strive for more when the afterlife is a paradise

Well it did start off as a way to explain the world and natural phenmenon, but then it evolved into control. About the same time as major monotheistic religions sprouting up

Well yeah, look at the Iliad

One long ass story to explain why we have a tendon in our feet lol

Religion is what is dangerous

It’s ok to have spiritual beliefs but when it becomes religion is when it’s wrong

Like Christianity is a faith

Catholicism is a religion

That’s my take

America is meant to have the freedom to believe what you want but it was never meant to be a theocracy

That’s when government can use the excuse of God to do certain things they want
