I would argue that our ethnic and racial hatreds aren’t “ancient,” but otherwise it is factually accurate.
Just because they still exist doesn’t mean they aren’t ancient
Right, but the USA has only existed for like 250 years.
Right, but the religious and ethnic hatreds of the puritans, British, and all other colonizers stretches back thousands of years.
It’s not like the population of the US just manifested out of thin air in 1776.
Right, but then it’s not a particularly American hatred, it’s just the general religious division of humanity. You wouldn’t say “the ancient misogyny of Australia” because conservatives are trying to restrict access to healthcare. Misogyny is ancient, but it’s not unique to Australia.
The modern religious and ethnic divisions and hatred specific to America are relatively new. They are based on relatively modern ethnic and religious identities. There were no ancient Southern Baptists threatening ancient transgender olympic athletes for using ancient public restrooms.
