I agree that most people don’t have a hint at what Independence is anymore . But this was a major step in the world. Declaring we were sovereign and no longer the Kings subject. I know they started breaking there own declaration the next day but we had to start somewhere.

I'm not bashing the Declaration. In some ways it was almost anarchistic. But the people "celebrating" it now are mostly celebrating the new RULING CLASS that replaced King George III ... and very quickly became much worse.
Oh, it’s brutal. Some clown in his costume on leave for the holiday, with his kid waving a flag and saluting... Unwitting chattel bondsman raising signs that say “Freedom” with as much dark irony as if they were doing so from inside an actual cage... and this is supposed to evoke teary-eyed patriotic pride... it’s all a dystopian fucking nightmare.
We agree there.
