    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted NPR

    Counterpoint: July 4, 1776, was "the greatest single day for human liberty in the history of the world." https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/07/a-day-to-celebrate-the-american-promise/ …https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1411702308711325700 …

    🧵 245 years ago today, leaders representing 13 British colonies signed a document to declare independence. It says "that all men are created equal" — but women, enslaved people, Indigenous people and many others were not held as equal at the time. https://n.pr/2SJ3Y5v

        That’s not a counterpoint. In no way does it refute the point.

        Thank you. The two can be viewed as equally true.

        Or you could be a critical thinker and realize that almost no country gave any of those people rights to vote at the time and that that day set the stage for the modern rights we hold dear. But I guess it’s easier to virtue signal to your woke friends

        Sick and tired of those who completely ignore the social/cultural norms of past eras and/or give the U.S. zero credit for the very significant progress over its lifespan. No one ever thinks progress happens quickly enough. But the journey continues.

        most countries weren't built on chattel slavery, actually, and had a lot less far to go 🙃🙃🙃

        July 4, 1776 was a great leap forward. No, not everything was perfect, and the Framers knew it, but it was a great start. What came after is because of what happened on that day.

        So, basically, the same thing NPR said.
