I can't disagree.
If you own a house with nobody living in it, you gotta pay rent to the state each month for the privilege of keeping it empty.

Based Captain America

You left out a bit. We also fought the British, and the Confederacy, and the Spanish, and the Kaiser, and the Nazis, and Imperial Japan.
America's history is complicated, and full of atrocities, like the history of nearly every major nation.
The values he's referring to in the comic are the core principles espoused in the founding documents. The idea of one nation with liberty and justice for all. At no point in history have those ideas been fully realized, but striving to meet those ideals is what America means to the Captain, not some borders on a map or colors on a flag.

History doesn't repeat but it often rhymes
This is AI, and it's gonna get deserved hate for that, but I do think this is better than some of the other posts that have been flooding Lemmy lately.
The only thing it's missing is a good alt text description.

Biden Campaign Brushes Off Idea of Reforming the Supreme Court
Wouldn't the correct move be to immediately prove why such a ruling is asinine? Use official powers to reform the court, new court removes dangerous ruling asap, guard rail repaired.

Billboards Calling Trump Chicken for Running from Debates Pop Up in Pennsylvania
Reply in thread
Republican Voters Against Trump have been running veteran billboards for a while. The DNC has been running billboards calling him and anti-union scab.
I think the chicken angle hits a bit different though, a lot of people write off everything trump says as just talk, and many attacks seem to get ignored as slander, but the fact he's unwilling to debate is a plain and uncontested fact, one that makes him look weak.

Rich tax.
Reply in thread
You don't have to go that far back to find a time when the rich were heavily taxed and income disparity was much smaller. Keep going back and you can find other times when the disparity was greater and the rich were taxed less.
The best outcome may require the system to be torn down, but it's clearly also possible to tax the rich significantly more even with the system already in place.

That makes even less sense, since the original logo was very axe shaped, but this one just looks like a rectangle.

It's complicated. They removed all taxation that would have benefitted the the colonies, but kept the Townshend Act taxes in place.
The colonies had been evading the Townshend taxes, largely because they were understood to be punitive. That's the primary reason tea had been smuggled from The Netherlands, as resistance to what was viewed as unjust taxation.

Greater Idaho movement: 13 counties in eastern Oregon have voted to secede and join Idaho
Fuck Idaho. How about instead we go back to Washington Territorial borders and have the Evergreen State annex their whole crooked potato patch. They can have statehood back when they learn to behave themselves.
