Wait a second… are you suggesting that prussia could be considered a “germanic” country back then?
Are you saying Prussia isn't a Germanic-derived state? Do I... do I have to educate you on Christian colonialism in Europe now too?
Do you think they had things in saxony? Lol ^^
No, they had Diets.
Our notion that democracy was spear-headed in athens is highly romanticized.
... okay...?
Ahem… “Philosophy is when you are uninterested in the biggest anthropological discovery of the last two centuries. The less interest you have, the more philosophic it is.”.
Sorry that you were aware of early modern European racism two comments ago, but have seemingly entirely forgotten it now.
What? I thought it was…
This you?
This framing is very cynical, since the european upper class probably got those concepts from the native Americans which the US displaced/genocided.
Because I'm pretty sure this is the third time I've mentioned that this is what I'm refuting. It's getting kind of tedious reminding you of what you just said a few comments ago. Are you even trying, or just keeping up the conversation so you don't have to confront how monumentally incorrect your statement was?

But it seems to be too much to ask of you that you remember your own claims.

I can't believe I have to remind you of what you said over and over again, and that you still don't seem to recognize it. Do I need to underline it? Find a highlighter?

... yes...? That is me asking if you meant what you just said. Jesus Christ.
They were culturally still european, otherwise, your enlightenment point wouldn’t make sense, either.
"Americans are not allowed to take from the European Enlightenment that I specifically cited as coming from Europe and which no serious historian doubts was instrumental in the thinking of the Founding Fathers and the founding documents of the US; an Enlightenment that arose independently of Native American polities and thinking - also something no serious academic disputes."
