The cause of the American Revolution was essentially word count. Y'all talk too much. Y'all talk too much. We got to go. We got to go. You are taking too many words to say something that takes far fewer words. So now we're fighting.

Look, if people go to the streets in America, the real America, who they are, it's over. It's two days and it's over.

So I wanted to see if I could learn a little bit more about this guy, and it turns out Hercules Mulligan was a wild figure in the American Revolution. Sounds right. He was an Irish guy who came to New York City in 1774 and set himself up as a fancy tailor and haberdasher. His business thrived, especially among the British living in the colonies, and he got in good with that whole world, even marrying the Admiral of the Royal Navy. What? However, the whole time he harbored revolutionary inclinations and opposed the British. Harbored! Boom! Keep going. That's 2-0. When the war broke out, he was perfectly situated to be a spy for Washington's army, since he was fitting all the British soldiers with clothes and hats.

It's a great story of a tailor turned spy, but also fuck him because the only reason he was able to convey secret intelligence to Washington is because he sent a person he enslaved to do it.

Part of it, he was mad. That was one of the big reasons that even the quote elites of America fought the British elites because they were tired of saying, well, I'm actually your cousin, but I'm not a lord, so I can't ship products out of the colonies. And so if the rich guys want freedom and they finally set up for themselves, that will have to trickle down.

Vox reporter says the U.S. would have been better off staying with England. And you look at the guy. That's how you're going to judge? Yeah, look at this guy. Look at this guy. Now, Vox celebrates 4th of July by saying the American Revolution was a mistake.

You see, this country only exists because of guns. That's right. America was invented because the British tried to take the colonists' guns away. And they said, fuck that noise. We're going to start a revolution.

I would say that if the people who it wasn't the majority of people in the colonies who wanted to start this revolutionary war. Right. Which it was not. No.

The whole revolution you're seeing is French Revolution Part 2. They saw we were launching ours in 1776 for the real. The real. New Atlantis. No. For Sir Francis Bacon. The real Rosicrucian order. Esoteric Christianity.
