This 4th of July marked the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the US Declaration of Independence.
What US propagandists never mention is that the Declaration of Independence explicitly sought to justify the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Native Americans.
In fact, the document condemns the so-called "merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions".
This was, of course, insanely hypocritical projection, given that it was the US colonial regime that committed genocide and carried out "undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions" of the Indigenous peoples of North America, in order to steal and colonize their land.
The genocide of Native Americans was central to the foundation of the United States -- along with the mass enslavement of Africans. Everything about the USA was built on genocide and slavery.
