Enough time has passed that our institutions have been infiltrated with sociopaths like a cockroach infestation. The vast majority of “normal” people are fucking checked out zombies that only give a shit about catching the sportball game and stuffing their asshole full of cheetos. These “normal” people treat informing themselves or learning like like its a fucking venereal disease. It truly feels like humanity has run its course.
Forcing them to argue that washington had slaves is a step in the right direction. It is a crack in their jingoistic myth of the founding fathers. Theyre being forced to learn a bit of history thats been intentionally hidden. Next question; If most the founding fathers owned slaves, whats that mean? Whats that say about america? So slavery was an institution and treated as the norm?
Its messy but this is progress
