Calling John Locke the "foundational philosophy of america" was an anglo-atlantic liberal globalist revision in order to essentially suggest that "America never left the British Empire"

The real root of American political philosophy is the Commonwealth Men during the reign of Cromwell-- Cromwell was beloved by the New Englanders-- more than he was by the British even-- & the Commonwealth Tradition was more important to American Whigs than British Whigs.

This sounds bonkers whacky to Americans & Brits-- but they have no conception of history prior to the late 18th century / Napoleonic Age. They are primarily "Victorian" in their politics-- & they prefer the "Muscular Christian Empire" to the humble puritan republic.

The Anglo-Atlantic confluence of Wilsonian Progressive Internationalism necessitated what was called "Consolidation Propaganda"-- which means a narrative which "explains" our "special relationship" with the Victorian British Empire. That's what we learn now.

The American Revolution becomes "a meaningless quarrel between Anglo-Saxon brothers"-- people like Carnegie & Rockefeller would lament it-- they thought the Revolution was a mistake! The NRx critique of the Revolution was literally written by Jeremy Bentham!

That's one of the best parts of moldbug-- he directs you to the British response to the Declaration of Independence, which was written literally by Jeremy Bentham when he worked for the BEIC-- & he says "Bentham was right"-- he's actually a LIBERAL INTERNATIONALIST
