Fuck you. Randy Quaid is a hero!

The American Revolution was kinda funny ngl. It was basically just because like 30% (50% didnt care, 20% were loyalists) of the population didn’t feel like paying taxes to Britain. At all. They weren’t particularly high taxes either. And the only reason that they had to pay taxes was because of the 7 years war that George Washington helped start. Also, they wanted the right to smuggle untaxed French goods to the colonies. Also, they wanted to expand past the borders that were meant to give Native Americans and the French at least a little bit of a break (not much though). Y’all, ngl, the colonies were kinda a little bit in the wrong. For better and worse, we’ll never know what would’ve happened if the silly colonists hadn’t rebelled. Probably end up being a Canada or Australia clone. Definitely closer to Canada. Mexico would probably have a lot more land. Slavery would’ve ended about 30 years earlier (maybe). The French might’ve had a different-ish revolution. A bunch of countries would have different-ish constitutions. The land that the US takes up might have a less diverse group of white people. Idfk, I just took a history class in high school lol

I celebrate it because it’s 1 of only 6 holidays in the year our pathetic job gives us off for… I’ll tell you the stretch between NYD and Memorial day is brutal.

Anyone celebrating Independence Day is supporting the use of violence to achieve political goals and should be banned under the ToS.

The US is better of just joining the UK. At least there’s healthcare.

And on July 4th, don’t forget that All Countries Matter.
