The second amendment exists for a reason, people.
We’ll need a PSA to practice pronouncing: “gee-o-teen”
I respect the French so much.
This sign would be a lot better if I knew magas would understand it but unfortunately anything that exists outside of them doesn’t matter. They exist in a completely anacdotal world. “I’ve never seen racism so it doesn’t exist” “I’ve never met a school shooting survivor so it’s all crisis actors” “I barely finished highschool and cheated my way through history so I don’t know what happened in 1789 in some country I’ve never heard of called France!!!!”
It’s kind of hard to call this “clever” since you guys have expressed *this exact sentiment* approximately 5994823897322 times.
I get the spirit,
But people that say this probably don’t know how that 1789 revolution actually ended
Cool. Let’s see it. Everyone wants to radicalize til it comes time to do radical shit.
I doubt it. Not enough of the populace has the financial security to skip work for a week lol
The French Revolution had nothing to do with wealth disparity. The popular view of it being the poors rising up and killing the rich is a post-Marxist revision. The actual Revolution was run by rich men. Many of them were nobility. It was about the upper-middle educated class being pissed they were locked out of power due to an archaic system of aristocracy that was at odds with the new Enlightenment philosophy of a government run by the most educated and capable rather than those born with power.
Most of the people killed by the Revolution were not rich nobility. It was actually mostly working-class people in the cities, revolutionary leaders who fell out of favor, or peasants who resented being told what to do by a bunch of lawyers in Paris. The Committee of Public Safety even decided that the far-left radicals had become a danger to them when many of the very poor in Paris organized an insurrection in the name of addressing economic inequality and expressly targeted the wealthy rather than just those who the Revolution deemed as Counter-Revolutionary.
If you’re going to call to history at least try to understand it. If we had a French-style revolution (which wouldn’t work anyway as we’re already living under the sort of government they were fighting for) most of the people who would be killed are us not them.
Pitchforks and Torches coming soon.
Witty, sure, but people conveniently forget that the French Revolution lasted OVER a decade. I’m pessimistic of ANY movement making it 1 year with sufficient momentum let alone 10 in the current, capitalist-dominated misinformation eco-system.
many of the early revolutionary leaders were themselves beheaded, and a reign of terror ensued with massive killings of people for almost any reason.
Finally, France is a source of inspiration!
That revolution ended up in a despotic tyranny followed by an emperor waging war for 15 years through Europe.
So, maybe neither?
Go do it. Stop posting and Go Do It.
Lol, ok, sure buddy.
God I love this photo
The type of people who make these signs have never been in an actual confrontation in their life.
That’s why nothing ever happens.
So, fun fact, more peasants had their heads lopped off during the Terror than nobles.
By some estimates, the executions were 70-80 percent commoners (based on records from the Revolutionary Tribunal and provincial executions in Donald Greer’s The Incidence of the Terror During the French Revolution (1935)).
I’ve always found it strange that the French Revolution should be so esteemed by the left.
“Everyone I disagree with is a Nazi” is not a winning political strategy. Case in point: 2024 election.
The revolution that lasted a year and ended up with Napoleon Bonaparte?
Poor choice of revolutions.
Why the cheap looking signs? USAID money all dried up? no more paid liberal protestors
Average MAGA doesnt know either
The revolution will be televised!
Croissants anyone?
