Then you're well-equipped to fact-check someone else who has perused all the same primary sources.

But I have no faith that you will, because, as you have well established by now: You prioritize claimant over claim. Every time.
False. I simply don't twist history to suit my beliefs, especially not by watching yahoos on the internet, like I suspect you do.

Thank you for acknowledging that nothing you espouse comes from scholars that are challenged before their work is published.
To the contrary. What I've acknowledged is that you are deliberately narrowly-informed, which is a prerequisite for being narrow-minded.

We don't personally have a say in anything. That doesn't absolve us of anything as a nation.
Hmmmm. Not to cross threads, but how's that only work here?
We do have some little say as individuals, and no one need be held complicit when opposing government actions for the actions of the government.

Our history is ours, whether we agreed or not. We don't get to wash our hands.

What function does that serve? Jesus, the pretzels you conservatives will twist yourselves into to avoid accountability is astounding. Worse, it's disempowering.

"Sins of the fathers" and "guilt by association" are religious thinking. I don't do religious thinking, as you might have noticed.

Dude, how did you let me get soooo far under your skin?
Dude, how do you let me get soooooooo far under yours?

Now you're following me around. I stopped taking you seriously a long time ago.

Pat yourself on the back as much as you like.

It's not religious thinking whatsoever.

What parts of American history do you want to pretend aren't American?

Do you have a list? I'd be interested in seeing it.

You are mentioning me out of the blue in threads I haven't posted in. LoLz - dude, I spotted you day one and knew what you were about. I've just been waiting for you to hang yourself. And a good job you've done, pedro. :LOL3:

Stop being lame. Either you're an American or you're not.
Yes, I am a native American.
You have the maturity of an 11 year old boy.

"It's not my fault." Right, but as an American it is YOUR history.
And yours, presumably. How culpable are you for Hiroshima and Nagasaki? How about Dresden, how much of that is on your shoulders?

None. You didn't do it.

So let's dispense with the 'collective guilt' ploy; it's weak tea and irrelevant.

Hey, am I afraid to criticize islam and its evil conservative deeds? Nope, but you are. You won't even acknowlege them. Total denial. You even defend islam. Say MAGA, jack. Same shit, different pile.

I'm not personally responsible, but it is part of my history as an American.

It doesn't harm me. If I avoid feeling bad about things we've done as a nation, it doesn't empwer me to do better as an American.

If you avoid feeling bad for things you never did, that's normal. We're not a gestalt creature. We're individuals.

Don't be a guilt thief. Put it down, it doesn't belong to you.
