And, oh yeah, enabling genoocide.

What’s the rest of that last line?
Got a source for this? Thanks.
Well fuck me. Time to read this whole thing through to enlighten myself. Thanks
American independence was NOT to stop “shamelessly enriching the elites”. It was about a different set of elites being able to shamelessly enrich themselves.
Prove me wrong.
And not pay their debts.
History proves you right, though — and all of this outrage assumes that those not outraged still choose to read, think, care.
It was about the same elite being able to continue shamelessly enriching themself without interference from a wannabee autocrat.
The Magna Carta didn’t apply to serfs, but that doesn’t make it any less important to the history of political progress. I find the ideas of the founding fathers to be similar. Self serving, but an improvement none the less.
The Civil Rights the founding fathers defined did not apply to Natives, slaves and indentured servants. A step further than the Magna Charta, but less than the french revolution.
