A much better national motto

i still prefer the original official motto: E Pleribus Unum - From many, one - for it speaks to the true power of our people united in common cause and the very real danger of our division.

The "in God we trust" slogan thing was first used during the Civil War, and only brought about as an official thing in the 1950s when we had to differentiate ourselves from "those godless Commies".

This seems like a good spot for a reminder that Thomas Jefferson edited his own copy of the bible to remove all of the magical/religious elements and left only the philosophical lessons.

reminds me a yard sale plaque i saw once:

"like a good neighbor, stay over there"

Ah yes, alternate timeline that they add "Mind your business" to the pledge of allegiance instead of fucking "under God".

My coin would read: GO FORTH AND FUCK THYSELF

Republicans: Clearly Benjamin Franklin was woke, and probably a communist!

(Because this would work against their efforts at book bans, their anti-trans crusade, their general anti-lgbtq+ crusade, their crusade against reproductive autonomy for women, and probably other things that aren't immediately springing to mind.)

How about E PLURIBUS UNUM ? Out of many, one. A good motto for a nation of people, and federated states, working together?

A motto that many people today should familiarize themselves with.

It means both "leave other people alone" and "focus on your business" since the US was founded by landowning businessmen.

So slightly better, but not quite as good as "Don't tread on me" would be (if it wasn't currently coopted by fascists).

With the Teletubbies sun

what would he say about all the chuds today flying gadsden flags while trying to dictate how everyone lives their life, i wonder..

I'm a lil related to that guy

All good and all but even with something like this, what if your business was to try to rule the world and everyone in it with the billion dollar resources at your disposal?

The problem isn't the money, the religion, the systems .... it's the age old ancient idea we never seem to want to acknowledge or deal with, ever since we first stepped out of our cave thousands of years ago ... the idea that some people should rule and others should be ruled and that we should all fight and kill one another to maintain that order.
