... Love Letter... (spiritual)

[Syne]

You mocked MY post and immediately claimed "Musk is undeterred," proving that your motive is to deter people when you deride expressions of American pride. No one would think it would deter someone unless that was their own intent

LOL Proving in fact that my post in no way could deter Musk and thus wasn't even meant to. Give it up dumbass. You lost this one posts ago.

As I said, that was a non sequitur strawman, at best. Disproving something no one ever claimed is a sad victory. It never was a Musk post and you proved that you thought deriding something could be a deterrent.
But keep up all the unprovoked and unreciprocated insults. It's a good look on you.

Except it WAS a "Muck" post and you did in fact claim that its aim was shutting down (deterring) such expressions of American pride:

you..have roundly proven that your motive is absolutely all about shutting down expressions of American pride,

Anything else?

Yes, because you immediately said:

Pretty sure Musk is undeterred by anything I post..

Why would anyone think a deriding post would "deter" anyone, unless that's your whole motive. Like I said originally, all this energy to attempt a heckler's veto... trying to silence people. Not Musk. The person whose thread you are posting to. I even called it out, before I ever posted about Musk: https://www.scivillage.com/thread-20792-...l#pid87169

You're so predictable, and you don't even realize how many ways you give your true motives away.

LOL Because YOU thought a derriding post was an attempt to deter someone.. As you in fact confirmed:

you..have roundly proven that your motive is absolutely all about shutting down expressions of American pride,

BTW, how is posting an illustration of an historical event a derision of anyone? Unless of course that someone is in denial that such an event ever occurred..

Anything else?

Yeah, I said that AFTER you equated deriding to deterring. Try to keep up.

You simply couldn't let any expression of American pride go by without painting the US as the bad guy. Because many of your posts illustrate your dislike of America:

I am in fact motivated only by my own liberal and progressive values of the need for change and even revolt if need be when it comes to our govt serving the needs of the people.

People who are proud Americans do not talk about revolt against the government.

Anyone uneducated enough to be proud of America for having nukes but allegedly never using them needs to be enlightened. If you don't like it tough tiddy.

No one said America "never" used them. Just another sad strawman to justify your dislike of America.

No major Founding Fathers fully agreed with Jefferson's radical take that regular rebellions were a healthy and necessary "medicine" for a republic. While the founders universally supported the right to overthrow a foreign king, most believed that once a representative republic was established, citizens should voice their grievances through elections, not firearms.
Jefferson’s stance actually put him in the extreme minority. His peers viewed the situation through a very different lens.

And of course an anarchist would support revolt. 9_9

And of course an anarchist would support revolt.

Jefferson was definitely a proud American and talked about revolt against the government. Therefore your claim is dead wrong. And he certainly wasn't an anarchist.

[Syne]

Edward Abbey was an anarchist.
One outlier Founding Father doesn't disprove the general point. Outliers never do.

[Magical Realist]

There are literally millions who agree with Jefferson who are proud Americans and who are not anarchists. Many showed up at the Capitol on Jan 6, 2020. Once again your lies are exposed.
