huh just realized I am still kinda like this has it now become unfashionable to think of the US as *the* grand experiment, mankind's prideful insult to Nature? Saying "fuck you, fuck tradition and class, we will do what we want, make the world we want to have"?https://twitter.com/senjatanuklir/status/1347035616618315776 …

yeah ok looks like shit sucks right now and maybe the American Empire is on its decline but I'd still take whatever it is now over my current state of affairs in a hearbeat

Its a patriotism based on a very mythologised telling of history, if you read the rest of the thread.

Not sure I know what you mean by that. I think I got my threads confused since I was actually thinking of this tweet you made as a follow-up to "ragtag army drunk on liberty" https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1330614981188939776 … The French were instrumental to the American Revolution.

This just doesn't square with my understanding of how America won its independence. Seems very mythologised to me, in the sense that YES, from a certain angle it is true but within a greater context.https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1330612966849277952 …

oh for sure, french and spanish aid was essential to success (although we didn't really get it until after Saratoga!) american troops were very good, though. in many ways our arms and tactics were superior to british arms see eg american long rifleshttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1307887100142837760 …

eigenrobot @eigenrobotShot rifles for the first time today I am happy to report that America remains the greatest country on earth In America when you learn to shoot rifles it is in the context of mowing down a line of advancing Redcoats Each shot card gets 13 bullets God Bless America pic.twitter.com/9K06FGlhk7Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes
I don't mean to diminish our allies in the least; but the American effort was really remarkable, both militarily and politically a new thing under the sun

Agreed with you on tactics because I've read a lot more on that, I don't know much about weaponry though so cannot agree or disagree with you there.
