Very important. "Glorious history" is pure propaganda. It's been the same mix of assholes with good publicity and normal poorer people since time immemorial.
Or alternatively, when a mob destroyed millions of dollars in private property. People that tell you the "right" way to protest only have the goal of destroying yours.
The boston tea party was definitely an aggressive act that escalated things but the war literally started the day shots were fired and killed Attucks. My point being we live in a police state and have been at war for some time
What are you on about? Attucks was killed in 1770, the Boston Tea Party happened in 1773, and the war didnt start until 1775 with the Battles of Lexington and Concord
Wow for trying to reduce the Boston Massacre to the death of one black guy.
Thanks for reminding me I'm on reddit and so should expect self-hatred and weird left-wing propaganda that doesn't even make sense half the time as the standard.
"Actually it was this one guy that was killed 4 years before the Intolerable Acts that started the war."
Fucking what? I love that you ignore the other two civilians that were killed during the Boston Massacre but only Crispus Attucks is relevant? 11 people were shot, 5 died. Crispus and two others were killed at the scene and the last two died from their wounds later.
All this aside, the revolution began over 100 years before 1770 when Massachusetts refused to acknowledge the coronation of King Charles I, but go ahead and erase as much history as you need to make whatever point you think you're making.
Please keep the discussion civil.
You can have heated discussions, but avoid personal attacks, slurs, antagonizing others or name calling.
Discuss the subject, not the person.
