I sit in judgment of no man's religion, Mr. Dickinson, but your Quaker sensibilities do us a gross disservice, sir. It is one thing to turn the other cheek, but to lie down in the ground like a snake and crawl toward the seat of power in abject surrender, well, that is quite another thing, sir!
How do you respond without sounding mad?

The king is right and you are a traitor.
No, he was not, and that is why he lost the war. They correctly identified the source of rights, the proper office of government, and whether and when it is legitimate to change a government in our founding document, which remains our controlling charter (it took a bit longer to figure out the law).
Imagine being autistic enough to take that post seriously
That sort of sentiment is repeated often enough on this website that it's worth addressing, even if that particular author was having a giggle. There are other human non-AI posters who really do hold this wrongheaded view, and it's for them that I write such replies.
Only monarchy has legitimacy. We're currently in an interregnum.
we will not be free until the last king is hung with the entrails of the last priest, frick off bootlicker
I am the king's good servant, but God's first.
>How do you respond without sounding mad?
If I remember correctly he looked like he was about to cry, and sounded like he was about to cry every time he spoke. Quaker pussy.
Sit down, John! Sit down, John! For God's sake, John, sit down!
what is this from?
1776 (the musical)
is it any good?
it's a bit too long, but yes.
The Founding Fathers were right about everything, we failed them by freeing the slaves and letting foids vote
>The Founding Fathers were right about everything
Including the ability to amend the Constitution.
True, they were hoping we'd come up with the "Judaism is not a religion" amendment but we failed them again
the best part about this scene is when all the other quakers start standing up like they were about to start a brawl
a lil brawling isn't real violence
>yeah, well you're a quaker too, a stair-quaker ya fat fricker!
One of the best scenes in the series
>You have a disconcerting lack of faith in your fellow man, Mr. A., and in yourself, if I may say.
>Yes, and you display a dangerous excess of faith in your fellow man, Mr. Jefferson.
The smirk from Stephen Dillane is excellent dialogue itself
Why are they all so b***hy and smarmy
because at the end of the day, they are politicians. however, they want the best for their country so passive-aggressive intellectual arguing is their way of showing off. they are enjoying it mutually.
A lot of the dialogue from the show was lifted almost directly from the extensive correspondence which those men maintained with each other in an attempt to faithfully capture their ideas. The problem with that is that the style of writing at the time does come off as kind of smarmy to modern ears when spoken aloud. That, plus the fact that educated men back then were far more masterful with the English language than anybody today in our age of mass literacy. (Compare the informal letters that men like Adams and Jefferson wrote to each other with, say, any political speech today and you'll see what I mean.)
The hbo kyke screenwriter didn't lift shit. It was based on David McCulloughs biography that was super popular at the time.
That one actor died 10 day ago
tom wilkinson you daft c**t
>Adams and Jefferson died on the same day which was July 4th
IRL kino
Classical Liberalism but only for 120+ IQ Anglos. That's the only system that works.
What other historical kinos are on this shows level?
kinomatti does it again
He could be talking about most modern Christians. Spineless passive-aggressive cucks.
the world would be so much better if britain ruled the US
I wouldn't say a single word. I'd listen, which is what nobody did
