July 4th * 1

All the rah rah flag waving and such sure does ring hollow at the moment. It’s hard to celebrate independence from British rule 250 years ago while we’re knee-deep in dependence upon much more nefarious interests.

Independence ended on Jekyll Island in November 1910, anyway.

How do you know that banking interests are any more nefarious than royal interests?

A Venn diagram would show a significant overlap between the two for sure. It’s just that the efficacy of these agendas has been increased exponentially through the machinations our technocratic overlords.

I’ll spend the night of the 4th indoors, praying that neither my roof nor the drought-stricken mountainside catches on fire, as all of my retard idiot neighbors attempt to replicate a war zone with their goddamn fucking fireworks.

I rue the day my ancestors packed up their shit and ever moved to this country. My lineage goes way, way back like to the beginning. So, if I really think about it, my forebears probably weren’t given a choice of whether to go or stay. They were most likely put on the ship by force with all of the other religious fanatics, cretins, and criminals and exiled to America.

My family is mostly from England. My 14th great-grand uncle was Henry VIII. From English royalty to Appalachian hillbillies in three centuries. Man our lineage sure took a nosedive!

I saw it in the theaters when it was first released. Everyone I went with said it was stupid trash. I thought it was borderline genius. I remind my friends of this, and they agree that time has indeed proven them wrong.

If I were you I wouldn't ask god to keep morons from starting fires  or even talk to him at all , that douchebag sends rainstorms with lightning through California in the middle of the summer sometimes . No rain really , just lightning .

Ok , there aren't really any gay /tranny baby killin hardcore avocado toast eating liberals in the forested mountain areas where these fires take place though . The places that are affected the most by wildfires here are full of maga signs .
  The places that burn vote for Republican.

The fires were so bad last year I couldn't see  the maga signs 100 yards down the street from my parents house the first day of bow season .
  They couldn't take it anymore so they moved to Arkansas , now the people down the street have confederate flags .
  Same difference I guess .

No one deserves it other than the ruling elite that’s behind both parties. Republicans are no different from Democrats; they have the same employer but are handed different scripts. It’s not conservative versus liberal, gay vs. straight, black vs white or tastes great vs. less filling. It’s the ruling elite vs. the rest of us. We’re being sliced into a million intersectional factions in order to hasten the collapse of our country and prevent any cohesive opposition to their agendas.

Republicans are very different from Democrats. One party is an explicitly pro business conservative party, and the other is fascist.

While I think that these 3 comments are hilarious, especially Kryptos coming in with that one-liner, they also exemplify another reason why celebrating the 4th is so contradictory: The US is so damn divided.

Don't get me wrong, there's always been division, but it seems the divide is increasing.

Can't we all just get along?

Divide and conquer is their game plan.

Unite and prosper is the solution.

Unite over what? The only thing we all have in common is our democratic government. Everything else is privatized and not of public concern. My young Gen Z nephew, whose father is a hardcore republican, informed me that democracy is nothing more than contemptible “mob rule”.

The younger generations of conservatives are embracing fascism to a degree that I don’t think most of us realize yet. And how could they not when their politicians, at least during my lifetime, have made it their primary talking point that government is to be despised and corporations need to be allowed to function unhindered by public input? The right has preached this philosophy of eroding the public commons while they’ve simultaneously constructed this massive national security state. It won’t end well and there’s really no room for comprise and unity.

Precisely. Divide and conquer currently masquerades under the term “intersectionality.” Even a group that like LGBT(add letters and/or symbols as appropriate) that may have

I embrace neither faction, but to be fair I should add to this the left’s love of censorship. The parties are both shit sandwiches sold on different bread.

Unite over humanity.

Unite over the future.

Unite over Life.

We have far more in common than only the government.

The lines that separate are illusory. There is so much room for compromise, but it requires the hard-headed to humble themselves.

Who's the one that decides what's "left" and what's "right"? The same one telling us to pick a side? The division of an entire country in that manner will always lead to roughly half of the country being unhappy with whomever is elected, and unhappy with whatever laws are passed.
