BOSTON TEA PARTY REFRACTIVE
Rushing through a reading, and oversimplification of that read, are twin terrorists to understanding.
The so-called "Boston Tea Party" for example is touted as a popular uprising against British tyranny.
In throwing competing British tea overboard competing colonial coffee merchants, who disguised themselves as Indians to hide their true identities were cornering the Boston market for coffee over tea.
Along the way, arguments against "taxation without representation" were swilling in--never mind that Indians were not taxed--and the self-interested larcenies of the few came to be viewed in oversimplified American history as revolutionary!
A careful reading might disclose to those who 'discern to learn' how to counteract present day advertising and resultant indiscriminate buying, using "patriotic" means of doing so, based on the Boston Tea Party: Simply disguise one's self and true purpose behind any cute folderol, while actively overthrowing others' competing products for your own!
One will have gained materially thereby and will have contributed symbolically to the "cause," seemingly, if anonymously. This Tea Party tactic was repeated by the Ku Klux Klan terrorists after the Civil War, during and after Reconstruction contra enterprising black businessman or farmers.
The Tea Party itself was extremely active during both Barack Obama administrations, but not since in the era of President Donald Trump! All who discern to learn daily note.
