We’re talking about elevating one of the last states to abolish slavery and built upon genocide as one of the Shining Stars and that’s garbage.
This looks like the disconnect.
I don’t think the other commenter is talking about elevating the US. They are defending celebrating the US’s fight for independence and it’s effect on culture across the world.
I highly doubt anyone would defend the US as a whole.
You are 99% right, I am talking about immense, world-shaking philosophical change the American Revolution brought humanity that deserves to be celebrated.
In regards to the countries, I grade on a scale. The other fellow doggedly ignores:
but if a nation’s legacy is exclusively the sum of blood spilled, I ask you to show me one that is not utterly drenched in evil.
I personally think no country is innocent. That can get us into a whole different rabbit hole on the nature of power, state legitimization of force, anarchism, etc., which is not the topic of this shitpost!
