    Why would worldnews host that anyway? It is a US politics concern, which is explicitly outside the topic of worldnews.

    And based on my time as a moderator, users who run off to other forums to complain about mod decisions usually leave out important details. Not saying that is necessarily the case for you, but I am not just going to take your word for it.

        I didn’t call to violently overthrow a government, and the irony in the time frame of Washington’s life you decided was important to this conversation.

        It is convenient that you only wanted to talk about Washington after the Revolutionary War.

        We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

        From the Declaration of Independence itself, the founding principles of the Independence of the USA.

      You might not know this, but American state representatives play a part in world politics and there are articles hosted on r/worldnews that are about them.
