it always creases my autism to have July the 4th end up as a generic MURRICA day, or even worse, a pseudo-memorial+veterans day where we honour the decades of """protecting our freedoms""" abroad
i would greatly prefer to venerate Ethan Allen, the hero of Saratoga. would much prefer to spit on the memory of Benedict Arnold's limey wife that convinced him to go turncoat, and would rather recall King's Mountain or Cowpens than fucking Fallujah or Saigon
but ya happy independence day, the founders would weep
also nice, im not muted
