the brassiness of America is such that I always forget so many of the opinions online I deeply engage with are, in fact, American opinions, until each July 4th! Enjoyed this, thank you. And...

pamphlets were the shitposts of the 1320's to the 1970’s, no?

haha i stand corrected! but .. how beautifully brassy of america to even be nudging this convo. I'm a brit and ex green card who is always fascinated by how many of my emaillers assume i too may be celebrating their special day

There is no greater proof of their brass than a Brit and a Canadian discussing American Independence Day discourse, agreed.

re: pamphlets I have a piece coming this summer about public squares and anon posting, stay tuned
