It’s the ultimate American paradox, a country that gets itself so bent out of shape about worshipping and venerating its history, supremely concerned about what the Founding Fathers and marquee leaders of its past would think about what they’re doing, while also retaining zero ability to retain and process any actual history.
That's because the "history" they venerate is just a disguised national myth.
One again I tap on the American Civil Religion sign...
Isn't this just a mirror of American Christianity? They don't call all the flag-fucking a civil religion for nothing!
Like forgetting the original purpose of the confederate statues they defend. But I think it's more they know what they're doing and feigning ignorance so you're the one not being civil when you call them out.
maybe they actually would forget about the civil war without the monuments
