      This is what you said

      Wait a second… are you suggesting that prussia could be considered a “germanic” country back then?

      But it seems to be too much to ask of you that you remember your own claims.

      Are you claiming the founding fathers weren’t european?

      All seven were born and raised in the Americas.

      Again, this is what YOU said

      This framing is very cynical, since the european upper class probably got those concepts from the native Americans which the US displaced/genocided.

      I can’t believe I have to remind you of what you said over and over again, and that you still don’t seem to recognize it. Do I need to underline it? Find a highlighter?

        this u?

        Are you saying Prussia isn’t a Germanic-derived state?

        All seven were born and raised in the Americas.

        They were culturally still european, otherwise, your enlightenment point wouldn’t make sense, either.

          … yes…? That is me asking if you meant what you just said. Jesus Christ.

          They were culturally still european, otherwise, your enlightenment point wouldn’t make sense, either.

          “Americans are not allowed to take from the European Enlightenment that I specifically cited as coming from Europe and which no serious historian doubts was instrumental in the thinking of the Founding Fathers and the founding documents of the US; an Enlightenment that arose independently of Native American polities and thinking - also something no serious academic disputes.”

          Okay buddy. We’re done here.
