Hey, this looks like an interesting discussion:
I will leave as an exercise to the reader the question of whether, if they could see America now, the signers of the American Declaration of Independence would run back to the king screaming, “Please forgive us! Take us back! We made a very big mistake!”
Just bear in mind that in that circumstance, they would likely also be able to see England now.
Just bear in mind that if the colonies that became
the United States had instead remained under Crown authority, all subsequent history would have differed. Most obviously,
the American Empire could not have replaced the British Empire in the middle of the Twentieth Century. Perhaps even more importantly, in my studied and unhumble opinion, the cultural disease which has destroyed England was incubated in the plutocratic American mercantile classes, the bankers, traders, and stock-jobbers, who had culturally metastasized from the same cancer that gave rise to the Cromwellian and subsequent revolutions in England. In America, the cancer grew out of control; it eventually metastasized back to England, and ultimately, to the Continent.
I will leave it at that, lest anyone suspect that I may be an ultraconservative, aristocratic British Monarchist moonlighting as a rag-tag anarchist.
Lest any liberals try to strawman me as dogwhistling: By “cancer”, I hereby refer to the breed of Gentiles who fit negative Jewish stereotypes worse than the Jews ever have, while Jews get all the blame. The old-money American financial and later, industrial “robber baron” classes who defined America on the world stage were mostly not Jewish, in and of themselves. They were predominantly Anglo-Saxon Protestants. They were running America with an iron fist, back at a time when Jews were more or less unwelcome in their social clubs.
There are obviously also various other types of Americans, from Jeffersonian idealists to Texan—well, nowadays, to Texan Bitcoiners. I refer to the politically dominant Americans who, like it or not, defined America’s place in history.
It is different now.
Indeed, it is. As power has centralized into government entities that
cannot be opposed by old-fashioned means of revolution, the dynamics of asymmetric warfare have also changed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_warfareI began here to write something further. Although it was nothing illegal—to the contrary, more like “the first principles of how to overthrow the system and burn it to the ground by legal, nonviolent means”—I decided that discretion is the better part of valour, at this particular moment.
On a more jovial note, this post’s subject does not refer to any of the persons who are quoted above.
