Two Hundred and Fifty Years
Three lifetimes (actually when you put it that way it feels about as short as it should)
That old quote about the average age of empires is right, and none of this is worth celebrating. I will cry to the sound of fireworks.
There are plastic flags everywhere, mountain dew temporarily rebranded, and lest we forget the state is leading a campaign against itself and its people. Every new flag, print, or billboard that contains the horrid, blood-stained pattern makes me want to drive my individualmobile off the nearest private infrastructure.
That is all :(
