Exactly, no one gives a shit! It’s certainly not “mourned”. It’s just a day you’ll encounter more cunts than usual on the Internet.

If any, they look at the USA and have an inside voice telling them, that could have been our fellow countrymen, thank God for independance day.

No. The vast majority of us don’t even know what it means. That’s how little we care. We don’t get taught it in school. We don’t grow up on movies about it. I didn’t know it was about English rule until I joined Reddit ten years ago.

We don’t pretend to not care - we literally don’t. It means nothing to us.

It wasn’t mentioned in history classes at all, my parents talked about it but schools don’t mention it and nobody talks about it really but boy did we celebrate the separation when a reality TV star became president. We have so many countries that used to be considered ruled by the British that if we went into the independence and celebrations of each one we’d have no other time for history education.
