Breaking news: in one of the most productive countries / economies in the entire history of humanity, the majority of people creating that productivity do not get to enjoy the rewards of that productivity.
same as it ever was.

Lol some clown is removing my comments as “uncivil” in posts about how the wealthy are throwing people into the orphan crushing machine and driving everyone into destitute poverty.
Violence is the only way that rights and freedoms have ever been secured. It has NEVER happened by voting. If you’re too insecure and pussified to recognize this then you should never be allowed anywhere near a mod button.
The French Revolution saw less poverty and less inequality than what exists in modern day America.
Meanwhile, Thomas Paine and any French revolutionary would be banned and censored on this platform today.
The wealthy view this as progress: “we milked more of the production and still have a docile subservient society”
The French revolution saw a shitload more innocent civilians killed than what exists in modern day America.
This is so incredibly stupid it boggles the mind. There were not even 300 million civilians in France, especially considering that today there are only 60 million people living there.
Exactly, so many were killed there’s almost no one left.
The point is to draw attention to the idea that the French Revolution was bad in every possible way
wanton murder
gave rise to an Emperor
was mob rule led by a small group, not democracy
did not materially change the lives of the majority of the French moving forward
was literally called the Reign of Terror
Your opinion is tainted by British and reactionary voices writing the history of the French Revolution.
Overthrowing the Ancien régime left the average French person with much more political voice in the 1870’s than the average member of the 3rd estate could have hoped for at any point in the 18th century.
-Wanton Murder
Yeah there was violence political and non-political due to the anarchy that came from the revolution. This is unavoidable when the political elites do not respect the voices of the majority of their citizens.
-Gave rise to an emperor
Yeah because the entirety of Europe declared war on France several times in order to save their cousin king Louis, to save the estates of their rich noble exile buddies, then to avenge King Louis, and finally to protect British and exile monetary interests.
-was mob rule led by a small group, not democracy
It was eventually figured out, and it was always better than the pre 1789 status quo. **
-did not materially change the lives of the majority of the French moving forward
Lol, except for the entire political upheaval of the French Society.
-was literally called the Reign of Terror
It was called the Reign of Terror by British papers, the average Parisan had nothing to fear from the revolution other than reactionary mobs. Which was much safer than offending the wrong noble, or walking in front of the horse of some member of the gentry.
I am basing the French Revolution from the Estates General of 1789 to the start of the 2nd French Republic.
I’m not interested in your revisionist history, thanks.
It’s weird for you to put this much effort into a post encouraging violence in the US. Violence you most assuredly would not benefit from.
Can’t disagree with this more.
Advocating for violence is wrong, and that’s probably why you keep getting your comments removed.
In fact I’ll go so far as to say that if we rely on violence every time to resolve issues then there’ll be nothing left but cockroaches and dolphins looking around the scorched Earth wondering “What the fuck happened here?!”
Well to be fair, he didn’t say which side would be committing the violence. One analysis of the civil rights movement is that is was successful because it provoked violence by the oppressors while cameras were present.
I speak towards violence of any kind, from either side. Self-defense notwithstanding.
You can “disagree” all you want but history isnt going to change to fit your rosy-glassed worldview. Everything good you have-especially as a US citizen- is the result of violence and nothing else. As long as you lay down and think you can get power to give into you because you begged harder, nothing at all will ever change.
