Nope of those things are actually true.

Sure there are things wrong with America, but please pick some valid ones

We frickin suck. You know it, I know it, the American people know it.


Today - right here, right now as you read this - the US is at the height of its multi-decade domination of the world. And I predict it keeps going that direction.

Take your defeatist stupidity back to Russia where it belongs.

Should have been charged with treason


The problem with this line of thinking is that you're applying modern day ethics to the 1860's. Back then your home state was way more important than the US as a whole. Today it would be equivalent to if the United Nations wanting to take a more powerful hold over the United States government and then the US went to war to the UN in order to retain sovereignty and control over its own local affairs. The world wasn't as small as it is now. Washington couldn't make decisions for the States as effectively as the States could for themselves. Lee freed his slaves in 1862, well before the end of the war so you cannot argue that he was fighting for slavery when he himself detested the practice and was recorded multiple times as speaking out against it

He committed treason and should have been hanged after the war but they decided to name a University after him.
