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 -4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] starshipHighwayman69@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The original slavers you mean?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

You forgot to say please.

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

[–] Retropunk64@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nobody said the founding fathers killed slavers?

[–] starshipHighwayman69@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Retropunk64@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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.
