Briefly the us was the good guys when we killed a bunch of slavers and then when we killed a bunch of fascists. Those were exceptions to the rule though.

Looks at founding fathers... Yeah killed the slavers. Puts blanket over Native Indians. Hides Chinese rail workers under rug. Renames Irish "Indentured workers"

They were clearly talking about the Union during the Civil War...

[-] starshipHighwayman69@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 day ago

Yeah that's pretty obvious what's your point?

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

What's the relevance of the founding fathers, then?

[-] starshipHighwayman69@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 day ago

The original slavers you mean?

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 0 points 1 day ago

I'm repeating the words you used. What's the relevance?

[-] starshipHighwayman69@lemmy.ml -1 points 19 hours ago

You forgot to say please.

They also killed the Nazis, except for the ones that were useful, of course.

[-] Retropunk64@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Nobody said the founding fathers killed slavers?

[-] starshipHighwayman69@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 day ago

Surely you jest in your obtuse interpretation of my composed articulation...

[-] Retropunk64@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

So you at least understand the comment you replied to wasn't talking about the founding fathers... So why fucking bring them up?

[-] starshipHighwayman69@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 day ago

You might want to open up a history book and see when slavery started in the colonies chief.

Re-read the comment chain chief.

"Briefly the us was the good guys when we killed a bunch of slavers"

"Looks at founding fathers… Yeah killed the slavers."

Nobody said the founding fathers killed the slavers. Yes, the founding fathers were slavers. They were dead by the time the civil war came around, at which point the US was briefly the good guys when yes, they did in fact kill slavers. You're being deliberately obtuse.
