    I mean, show me the unprivileged, non-aristocratic, non-colonials who signed a single founding document. They wanted their own aristocracy off the backs of their fellow man and to tell the king to shove it.

    Not a thing was “discovered”, only ravaged and stolen. Describing the 100% predatory and selfish inception of the country as the “first real nation” reaches incredible levels of American mythology. I don’t like the Catholic church, but there’s a reason the way the founders are revered is considered legitimate blasphemy.
