FTN: American Ozymandias (Jefferson Deep-Dive) – Part 1

June 18, 2020 by Jazzhands McFeels

Jazz, James, and Borzoi go back to America's founding, this time digging deep into the life of Thomas Jefferson, America's Ozymandias. Expanding on American Coup D'Etat and details uncovered in American Mephistopheles (Hamilton Deep-Dive), this deep-dive is both a survey of the political context in which Jefferson lived as much as undertaking Jefferson the man, the sacred cow, the shibboleth that too must fall. If it's Thursday, it's FTN!

If i remember correctly, T.J said the three greatest thinkers he admired were Locke, Bacon, and Newton, and that’s where Hamilton said he admired Caesar the most..

“Buying in the cheapest markets and selling in the most expensive.”
 
Correct me if I’m wrong but even Adam Smith was against that.

Wow. This was really great, lads. So refreshing to hear Americans telling American history from the context of American interests. Really brilliant work from all involved. Great job guys!

The Whiskey Rebellion and Shays Rebellion weren’t the only uprisings of the yeomanry in America. You also have rebellions in pre-Revolutionary America. For instance Bacon’s Rebellion, the Paxton Boys [who actually marched on Philadelphia and scared the Quakers so bad they sent out Ben Franklin to negotiate with them] and Jimmy Smith and the Black Boys. In these cases it was conflicts over protection of Whites on the frontier from Indian depredations. The governments were essentially taking the side of the Indians and creating an early version of Anarcho-tyranny. The more things change the more they stay the same.

I love how you guys are pointing out the attitude toward the farming class by the elites. It reminds me of how the colonists in Rome were seen as a threat to the elites so Flavius Constnatine institutes Christianity as the national religion to destroy the threat of the power of the middle class. The elites always attack the middle class. One of the great fallacies of history is that the rich hate the poor. They LOVE the poor! These are their concubines and laborers. The middle class represents egalitarianism and that’s what elitists hate the most.
