It’s PragerU- the place where all the silent thing are purposefully said out loud.

The founding of America was a little rough but it's amazing that they got as progressive as they did. Seeing as republicans nowadays support removing those fundamental rights that some old men laid out hundreds of years ago.

Edit: guys guys calm down. Yes, I know about the slavery stuff. I'm just talking about the amendment, stuff like the first amendment about free speech. States like Florida immediately come to mind because they're trying to erase and change history.

My old high school friends quoting Prager U propaganda at me was the straw that made me finally quit Facebook a few years ago.

People who call America an iredeemable, racist shithole are just as stupid as those calling it perfect and the greatest country on earth.

The truth is always somewhere in between, and if you deal in absolutes, you're either 5 years old, or just a massive moron.

The US has been the Land of the Free* since it was founded. It is going to take a lot of work to break that as a single country. I don’t know if it’s honestly viable anymore. Sometimes I feel like we should just scrap the whole thing and try again,l.

Many, many people have died for the ideal that is America - created equal endowed by a creator with rights that cannot be taken away.

We strive to live up to that standard and it's worth fighting for. We fall short but it's important not to let go of the aspirations set by those that came before us

Religious bigotry and racist thinking?

as someone who sees both .world and hexbear users in this thread its kinda funny seeing how stark a difference the reaction to the meme is

Think about Lincoln's Gettysburg address for a minute.

...conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal...

Which is a big fat lie. True only if you were a white male landowner.

If the union has not been founded on slavery then there wouldn't even have been a civil war to win/lose.

The founding fathers as a group were quite happy with slavery, racism, and sexism.

That's what the USA was founded on, that is the legacy it maintains today.

The less well educated a population is, the easier they are to control. They can only get shit jobs, can't afford college or healthcare and thus become fodder for the type of jobs billionaires create i.e. Amazon warehouses where they will work you until you die, ready to be replaced by the next generation of uneducated people in poor health.

Christian nationalism is trying and very near to succeeding in controlling what you are taught, what you are allowed to do with your bodies and what your laws are. The first people they seduced are your military just in case you get any ideas.
