Jefferson, minus the whole slavery thing.

Loose confederation of independent agrarian communities when?

That picture is fucking moronic. You might as well say "EVERY FORM OF GOVERNMENT/SYTEM COLLAPSES EVENTUALLY SO THIER ALL FLAWED EXEPT MY HYPOTHETICAL THATS NEVER BEEN TRIED, CHECKMATE XDD". Talk about grasping for fucking straws…

Are you legit autistic? That's not what that macro is saying.

That's the point fam. It's an ironic spin on the "socialism has never worked in practice" meme

America's been dead to me since last November. That's how I came to find this wonderful board.

See, in the new political climate following the election, I knew things would only get worse from there. I knew I would happen to toughen up. So I started frequenting Holla Forums a lot more. I just happened to find Holla Forums in the boards list, and the rest is history.

Holla Forums is my nation. My home. My faith.

I love you guys, I really do. Hugs, comrades?

you are awful at fitting in you know?

Ironic considering the Republic lets in any wog that can quote a bit of Irish and fill in the paperwork.

"Son, excuses are for quitters – and I didn't raise you to be a quitter. All it takes is showing up, speaking with the manager, addressing him as 'Sir,' shaking his hand, and telling him that you want the job. Easy-peasy."

Home of the ""free"".

"Son, that attitude never got anyone anywhere. You're looking for a job today, and I'll drive you to help get you going. It's all about speaking with the manager, looking him in the eye, giving him a firm handshake, and telling him you want the job. Nothin' to it."

There's nothing wrong with being black, the guy in the pic smells because he's a Brit.

w-what did he mean by this?

Fun facts about Arlington cemetery.

Did you know that right next to it used to be a surprisingly communalistic settlement of freed slaves? And you can guess what happened to it.

Americans unironically believe this

you forgot guns, freeze peach, presumption of innocence and several other nice things that have since gone bye-bye

Chad neighbors spent literally all day Friday making what I can only describe as 'middleschooler vocalizations' at random, then woke me up at 10 on a Saturday with that shit, now I get to hang out with my mother who thinks I'm a piece of shit for not accomplishing anything because she sabotaged the fuck out of me my whole life, like a microcosm of Burger smugness about """winning""" the Cold War and """proving""" Communism doesn't work if invaded and sabotaged by alphabet soup for decades on end and my sister who I barely know and hate to say seems to really be a piece of shit. Yay freedom.

the slavery thing was pretty important to his beliefs since his idea of an agrarian republic would have required slave labor to function.
Not only was Paine against slavery but he was also for Native American rights and probably the least sexist of the founders as well. He is the only good founder and its no wonder why he was the least popular one in the US.

"Kids these days have no idea just how good they have it. All it takes is speaking with the manager, looking him in the eye, giving him a firm handshake, and telling him you want the job."

Exact bullshit my mom and dad tell me. Brought resumes and walked into every store in a large shopping center one day. They all gave me an annoyed look and told me to apply online.

"Son, it's as easy as pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and taking the initiative. Remember to speak with the manager, tell him you want the job, look him in the eye, and give him a nice, firm handshake."

Jokes on you, my mother was the only family member that liked me, and when I turned 18 I was kicked out and haven't seen any since.

Thomas Paine was never involved in American government. He is not a founder in any sense of the word. He was just a liberal activist.

...

Many historians consider him a founder because of his activism.

Wait, is emmigrating to Ireland easy? Or is it just refugees?

Like hell he wasn't. Common Sense turned what had been a bourgeois squabble over tax policy into a populist fight for popular government and against imperialism. I don't think we'd be celebrating as we are today without his successful agitation against monarchy and colonial rule.

Never let it be said that I don't love my country. Indeed, I love it quite dearly. That is why I want only the best for it. I see socialism as the next stage in that "more perfect union" that the radical bourgeoisie known as the Founding Fathers set out to build. I do not wish to replace what they have done – I wish to refine and elevate it. That all people are created equal, and that they are all entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, only under socialism do I think this age-old promise can finally be realized.

You too huh? Writer's cramp's a bitch, amirite?
