Half my grandparents were in Syria and the other half were fighting against segregation. People like Anne Braden were around and I choose to identify with her America while disowning and shaming scumbags like ICE and those pictured. There are historical Americans that can and should be absolutely shamed and there are ones that did everything in their power to improve the country for all. Neither should be forgotten or minimized for their impact.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody

One what? I said I dont like what the military does but I’m glad we have one in general because humans are inherently violent. You can pretend we all get along and don’t need one but that’s idealistic fantasy land.

I tend to like the fact the US has a military strong enough to discourage anyone from invading/killing/raping everyone. I don’t like the vast majority of what we do outside our border with said military though.

Careful brother them things have claws

Correct, so why even consider relying on them in the first place.

Exactly, Jim Jeffries had a hilarious bit about it but that gave anyone who heard it the wrong idea about secure storage.

Thats only true if you have kids. There are no federal requirements for how you store your guns when not in use. If you dont have kids or strangers around, you can keep things like pistols on wall racks, loaded and ready to go. I for example, live way out in the sticks. If I call the cops, it takes a minimum of 20 minutes before anyone gets here. My nearest neighbors are also a couple miles away. So, if someone breaks in I have a 20 minute window with zero help. Call 911, then call .357

The goal of this to show that they are actually good people? Because… showing a few wrongly attributed quotes doesn’t help their image or the historical context.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ironic India is number one with how much coal they burn.
