This country was built on the broken bodies of the victims of slavery, genocide, and exploitation. The soil is rotten, and the tree that grows there bears rotten fruit.

Confederate, slaver, nazi, Proud American, these are all synonyms.

That is literally every country on earth. The human condition is slavery, genocide, and exploitation, which is why we are the only species left in the genus Homo. This is not a uniquely American thing.

We are far more like ants in our eusociality, and all we can do is hopefully recognize that tribalism for what it is and try to do/be better as we move forward.

Well the US was very much in love with the nazi party until it became politically inexpedient. Then they pretended they never were but didn't actually change anything

"The US" was very much in love? NO, a lot of Americans were. But the US was NOT in love with the Nazi party. And if you mean, "when Americans realized how horrible the Nazi's were", instead of "politically inexpedient", then maybe I can agree with you.

Every year, we open up a stadium for a giant Pro Slavery + Pro Nazi + Pro Confederacy rally. At the end of the rally, we lock all the doors and sell everyone in the stadium to the highest-bidding slavers.

Everyone at the rally gets to enjoy their pro-slavery desires and everyone else is rid of them. Win-win.

um... who do we sell them to? if it's someone outside the stadium, aren't they also pro-slavery? wouldn't that mean they'd also be in the stadium? also, wouldn't we, then, end up with a lot of slaves?

this seems like a bad idea for a few reasons, the least of which is the hypocrisy...

Russel's slavery paradox.

It could be solved if slaves could own slaves, but it would become circular.

Plot twist, they find that their belief systems are extremely similar and they join forces.

Treaty of the Holston

Looks like a Treaty between the US and Cherokee.

Surprisingly, doesn’t seem to be anything particularly controversial about it.

I’m assuming these assholes are there to shit on the Cherokee for being under US protection or something? Idk.

They want to end Edge and bring back Internet Explorer. It'll start over at IE 33 since 33x3=88, which means Heil Hitler in super secret numerology.
