Our history is driven by Great Men

Sure, lets read the real 18th century Curtis. Lets see how much the founders line up with “left wing TDS.” Let’s do so through just examining one line of the Declaration of Independence and see exactly what it is getting at in depth.

Sure, lets read the real 18th century Curtis. Lets see how much the founders line up with “left wing TDS.” Let’s do so through just examining one line of the Declaration of Independence and see exactly what it is getting at in depth.

“He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.”

So what is this getting at exactly, with raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands? Well following the French and Indian war, The proclamation of 1763 was issued which restricted any further settlement or development of the territory west of the line present. This treaty was a complete and total betrayal of the colonists, for whom 10,000 or so died fighting this war, and to whom many veterans were in fact promised these lands and granted lands in this territory to include Washington himself.

The American Settlers were men or the descendants of men who risked their lives and their fortunes and fought war after war continually to gain land and territory for themselves, to settle and expand and grow. That was is the driving force behind the American spirit most clearly and exists down to a biological level as the choice to be a colonist will carry with it specific traits present in the people who do so that will naturally differentiate them from those who stay behind.

So telling these men that in spite of the fact that they shed blood for land as they have done since 1607, all of a sudden in spite of fighting in this brutal war you cannot take any of the land you fought for as your forefathers have done since 1607, and now any further expansion is going to require negotiations and settlements arbitrated onerously, that is going to piss off warlords like Washington.

And this treaty in particular is one spoken of pretty frequently in writings and issues that were held. And this narrative of what an America is isn’t something i made up. It’s present in ‘The Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms’ as how you would summarize what an American is in a single sentence.

“Our forefathers, inhabitants of the island of Great-­‐Britain, left their native land, to seek on these shores a residence for civil and religious freedom. At the expense of their blood, at the hazard oftheir fortunes, without theleast charge to the country from which they removed, by unceasing labour, and an unconquerable spirit, they effectedsettlements in the distant andunhospitable wilds of America, then filled with numerous andwarlike barbarians.”

So please Curtis, explain to me exactly how the framing of yourself as an unconquerable people waging war against barbarians for land acquisition in the spirit of your forefathers as your core identity as to explain to the world what an American is has anything in common with leftism.

And what this comes down to has nothing to do with me being ignorant of history. It comes down to the lens with which we view the world. You have a fundamentally different worldview than I do, which is that history is about the transmission of ideas and ideology and different political systems. I find that intensely modern and liberal.

My view is that history is driven by people, by nations, by the great men and leaders of those nations, that ideology itself is explainable as natural outgrowths of human nature or to the particular natures of individuals and nations. That the American War for Independence is far more explainable as the result of the American Ethnogenesis and what ideas they have as natural and explained by the people themselves, who they are, the conditions they were in and their origins and nature. It is also driven by the great men of their people, the Heroes, who people will also naturally have a degree of worship for as people are also driven by heroics and hero worship. Capeshit is human nature.
