Going to a new land only to steal it, genocide the natives, and kidnap Africans to make them rich. Whole economic system still running off slavery to this day. If not a white ethnostate, the fuck do you THINK they were fighting for??
"This isn't what our founding fathers fought for" isn't a good argument against the madness happening now bc it erases all the evil shit they perpetuated on SO MANY.

Ignoring truths about what makes the US run, including myths of the nobility of the founders, is a big part of why this is happening.

Today is World AIDS Day.

AIDS has killed 44 million people globally.

Over the years, we've learned that silence and stigma are huge contributors.

Yet, the State Department sent an email to employees stating “The US Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year.”

Silence = Death
