Tornado Alley (PROG)

[brooklyn13]

When were Americans not "always so selfish"? Sure, WWII is what everyone cites and it's legit, but a very small percentage of our time as a country.

I suppose you haven't read the whole 1619 Project and I'm not saying you should, it is a little boring. But read as much of it as you can take and let's revisit this assertion of yours.

Or, maybe let's examine the history of the robber barons, anti-union mine owners, the railroad magnates who used Chinese American slaves. Maybe prison labor, is that unselfish? Forcing the Indians off their lands?

Sorry, I'm just not seeing this rosy view of America's past. The myth is that we're somehow different from everywhere else, the reality is that we're not.
