Deadass this event is more gray than what happened yesterday with ICE. the snowballs had sharp rocks and clamshells in them and the private lost his temper when he ordered that command. It’s not justifiable by any means but the fact that we so commonly call this a massacre while news outlets are implying that Renee deserved it because she had pronouns in her bio shows time really is just a flat circle

Btw preserving the monarchy was the conservative position of 1776. Yet another instance of conservatism being on the wrong side of history

The Boston massacre was massively exaggerated for propaganda purposes by revolutionaries and radicals. It happens that those revolutionaries were the good guys and created a government way better than the one that came before it, but they did play up a morally gray shooting into some fake massacre just like radicals do today.

The revolutionary war could certainly also be categorized as our first civil war, revolutionary sentiment was only about 1/3. Ben Franklin’s own son was a loyalist

Fun fact: at the time oysters were a huge delicacy. Vendors were everywhere and they were similar in popularity to how we view french fries today! Philly was the oyster capital of the world, and since oysters were so popular, they needed a way to dispose of them. They were used as decoration, to pave roads, in gardens, ceiling and roofing, etc. So that explains why clamshells and oyster shells were literally everywhere.

Correct, but you’re an idiot if you think conservatism is always the wrong side of history. Opposing fascism in Italy and Germany was the conservative position, opposing communism in Russia was the conservative position, opposing prohibition was the conservative (but not necessarily right wing) position.

Okay look I agree with conservative opposition to Naziism being true and good but let’s not pretend the fuckin Tsarist Russians were on the right side of history. They were fighting for an insanely authoritarian antisemitic monarchy. The communists at least wanted to make Russia a better place to live but got taken over by monsters like Stalin. The Tsarists wanted to keep everything shitty because they were at the top of the social ladder.

Oh god no. The American revolution is the worst thing to happen to planet earth in hundreds of thousands of years. The second amendment has been a catastrophe. We have an ineffective government.
