    The founding fathers were slave oligarchs, fuck their opinions on anything to do with our country today

      Throw out the whole constitution then. Human history is rife with suffering and hypocrisy. My ancestors chased people off this land at the point of a sword. Right now, we’re overlooking the horrible exploitation of other human beings in China, Africa, India and others, to make luxury goods. The lens of history should acknowledge the status quo at the time, but not excuse it, and celebrate those who worked to advance human rights and conditions before their time.

          Imagine condemning nearly everyone who has ever existed because they didn’t live up to modern society’s current understanding of humanity.

            Imagine being too scared to do that in spite of everyone they made suffer and everyone else who knew it was wrong even then, because you somehow want to make defending slave oligarchs your hill to die on.

              Then stop wearing your clothes, eating the food you buy and enjoying the place you live in…go live in the woods, because you’re a hypocrite.
