Nice intro, honestly. Good hook. "Hey, we're gonna go do our own thing, and it'd be rude to not say why, if only for the history books".
Not shabby. Could have been "all people". And, obviously must acknowledge that he first draft was "pursuit of Property", since the main point of their whole revolution was a tax dodge for wealthy white landowners.
This is downright spicy by modern standards. If I posted this section alone i'd be getting a visit from a three letter agency.
Lol, "look we all know the average person would rather just keep suffering than effect meaningful change, but come on guys"
Wait do they really say "it is their duty to throw off such government"? Wow. They really say "It is their duty to throw off such government". Can you imagine trying to tell someone that "it is their duty to throw off such government" today? Wild. Me: "It is your right and duty to throw off the shackles of government. You have nothing to lose but your chains." Them: "Lol no, I love not thinking".
Ok now we've established that revolutions are cool and good, let's get to the meat of why we're doing it.
Fuckin' king won't let us pass local laws that make sense locally. Fuck does he care?
Any laws we actually do get, he keeps saying "nah hold off enforcing that until review", which is just shitty behavior.
Any time we try to establish our own representation, they shut us out unless we acknowledge their superiority. Fucking tyrannical bullshit.
And the bureaucracy, totally impenetrable. Designed to keep us from changing anything.
Any time we try to assemble (our manly firmness OwO), they shut it down.
We're left aimless and unable to self govern, and that's dangerous for everyone.
And the king was ANTI-IMMIGRATION!? THE SHEER GALL.
Wait did they not cover this one already? Did nobody proofread this? I guess this one is saying that the folks being judged should be able to choose their own judges, which sounds pretty cool.
Lol this one's kind of biting the states now. Went a little hard in the opposite direction. Judges should probably be accountable to someone.
Just gonna slap these three together:
So, yeah, an armed military presence among the populace, that harasses the average person, is like real bad and grounds for a revolution. That's a thing. It says so in the sacred texts.![emoji do-not-do-this do-not-do-this](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/cf459a8b-35e1-47a3-a2fd-f4b47a3a794d.png)
Globalism is good and trade should be free (Thomas Jefferson would drive a Chinese EV)
Really the United States was founded to protect wealthy landowning whites from taxation, a goal it continues to aspire to to this very day
Ok so like it was bad that they were told they had certain rights as English citizens, then didn't have those rights in practice. Lol at the CBP 100-mile constitution-free zone.
Founders said States Rights? I guess.
Oh ok but it's not really states rights, it's more about the people's right to self-govern.
No respect for the environment. Very rude.
Conscription is uncool and there should be no draft.
Protests are peaceful until the cops get involved
here's the really racist part
But how is this any different about fear mongering about immigrants at the border?
We've tried to be friendly, but, well,![emoji fuck-around fuck-around](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/6100725b-0f4c-4c73-a9b6-e85ff80ad4e5.png)
We're gonna do our own thing and we're all gonna have to fight for it together.
The end. It's pretty short. Like, I get it, attention spans aren't super long and all, but still compelling somebody to read this shouldn't be too hard.
