    Nothing, other than the joke that England is responsible for more independence days than any other country.

      It’s weird to me that everyone just assumes that American Independence was a good thing.

      It’s also hilarious to me that everyone assumes “their” state was proudly patriotic when several states were pretty damn loyalist.

      I also think everyone else really should question their Independence Days. Usually all the happened for the majority of people is that a little less of their labor went to a foreign crown and went to their local rapacious land-owning aristocracy instead. Big fucking deal.
