RE: @TribeSteemUp's Take on The 4th of July

in #tribesteemup • 6 years ago

The 4th of July is about celebrating the founding of the greatest country on earth, but it is also about remembering the history, good and bad. The US has had a bad time with presidents and policies for the past 30-40 years (luckily with trump that is changing). The 4th of july is not about celebrating politicians and their policies, or the state, but it's about celebrating the fact that the American people freed themselves from the grasp of such things. Even if that may not be true today, the celebration promotes conservatism among citizens, making it an important event.

    1. The 4th of July (which is the wrong date) is a celebration of the Declaration of Independence, which was about separating from The Crown, Inc., and had nothing to do with the creation of The United States, Inc.
    2. Countries, or States, are simply areas of land that a particular organized crime syndicate has laid claim to and uses violence & the threat of violence to control. There is no greatest country, unless you mean "most violent", "most profitable", "longest running", or something like that.
    3. The idea that the American People (whoever that is) freed themselves from Statism is pretty laughable when you look at the what happened immediately after (like using The Constitution instead of the Articles of Confederation, the Alien & Sedition Acts of 1798, etc.), the results over the next centuries (almost never-ending war, multiple genocides, usury & debt-based monetary system, more laws on the books than any government ever)...
    4. There's nothing conservative about the number of animals killed for one day's "BBQ", the excessive alcohol consumption of millions, intoxicated people lighting off small explosives all over the place, "parades" (don't even get me started on those things)... Doesn't seem like a celebration of much more than idiotic self-destructive, violent tendencies.
