The analogy doesn't even work.
The king wanted more tax on dry goods such as tea to the settlements. They felt that if they had to pay more for the same things, they should get a say in how they are governed. "no taxation without representation" When the King said no, that's when they threw it into the harbor.
DOGE is eliminating government spending on things that give little to no benefit to the country. Something Elon Musk himself is not actually doing, but he's the figurehead, so they hate him for it. Conflating dumping tea into the harbor with setting fire to highly toxic electric car batteries is really dumb.
Note that appeals to emotion, specifically hatred really rile these fuckers up.
Leftist psychopath making a retarded argument?
I can't describe just how shocked I'm not.
Never let facts and context get in the way of building a victim narrative: the left.
The King's tax collector in Boston hit a guy and nearly cracked his skull open. The guy was trying to defend a child against the same assault. When the people went to serve a warrant against him the King's soldiers protected him.
It was barely about taxes. It was really about the shit treatment the British had for the American colonists which came to a head in the most corrupt part of the British empire, Boston.
Ya'll never wonder why we have that third amendment?
A lot of what I learned in school turned out to be bullshit. So things like this don't surprise me.
This is an excellent point. British soldiers, like most Euro-armies in colonies, received low pay and were just kinda expected by their leaders to help themselves to the resources of the local population. While this worked in most (non-White) dependent places, this was heavily resented in the largely (White) self-sufficient colonies.
Tbh, I don't even know where they are going with this either. Maybe a false dilemma?
Britain responded claiming the Boston tea party was an act of terrorism. And so the following America Revolution cut taxes & government influence even further.
So like, I pick option 3. Yeah those Tesla burners are terrorists and yeah let's continue revolutionize over taxation & useless spending.
They're saying "we're good and you're evil and deserve to be murdered for it". The words they pick for any particular sentence don't really matter.
Fun fact: Taxation Without Representation is the motto that adorns license plates in Washington DC.
DC degenerates can fuck off back to Maryland then. The Founding Fathers were extremely clear about keeping DC neutral ground, because giving an enclave of government bureaucrats a vote only results in more government. The 23rd Amendment was a mistake.
Giving the land back to Maryland would be the correct course, but they want 3 more Democrat votes.
