I know the founding fathers were racists, but I still get surprised by the wildly racist shit they said.
- Literally invented racism
  
  I wrote a paper once that delved into the history of how racism was constructed as a way to make slavery lifelong instead of a term of indenture, and there was so much wild shit I learned. Like, if there was a white woman who was an indentured servant, if she cohabitated with an enslaved African, then her term would become lifelong too, and her children would be born enslaved. There was so much more, but that was a long time ago and I've forgotten a lot.
- "Slavery was just the way things were! Everyone accepted it! People didn't do stuff like compare the worst thing they can imagine to being enslaved, let alone advocate for abolition!"

Hitler was cribbing notes off the USA after all.
- The Nazis cited a U.S. Supreme Court case on sterilizing an intellectually disabled woman (who probably wasn't even disabled, she just had a kid out of wedlock) in their defense at the Nuremberg Trials.
  Buck v. Bell for all you legal scholars out there

Was curious why he was using a pseudonym and couldn't really find reasoning for it but did find Adams say
“That my Confessions may be compleat I must tell you that I wrote a very foolish unmeaning thing in Fleets Paper in 1762 or 1763 under the signature of Humphrey Ploughjogger. In this there was neither good nor Evil, yet it excited more merriment than all my other writings together”
Just a bit of merriment telling the entire colony some of the most racist shit possible

Hey, can you do a series of abhorrent letters the Founding Daddies wrote? I'd love to make a short "quote a day" calendar for some liberals I know.

So even about that Hitler wasn't really creative. Guy was such a failure smh
- the nazis famously were inspired by jim crow racial segregation and
  eugenics
  
  They actually found the "One Drop" rule, aka any African ancestors at all meant you were legally black, too harsh and restrictive. But their whole plan to genocide the Slavs and expand East in to Russia, Ukraine, and beyond was explicitly modeled on the US genocidal campaign to conquer the US. "Generalplan Ost" is the keyword to look for.

the bleak thing to keep in mind, is that this cowardly passage, published under a pseudonym, is positively mild for a founding father. They were cartoonishly evil men, in general. Another bleak thing to keep in mind is that this is John Adams who, along with Thomas Paine, is the go-to Founding Father for whitewashing America's origin story, because he is the one of the few founding fathers and early presidents who was against slavery.
Also isn't it funny that these proto-bourgeois white men always used race-based chattel slavery as their numero-uno metaphor for ... having to pay taxes to the English crown on the goods they trafficked? Isn't that utterly absurd? To equate being chained, whipped, and worked to death with being a business owner who has to pay taxes?

the above letter, if you follow the archive link, comes from a US government website that preserves washington's letters. So that's how you know the source is real (btw).
