@benroyce@mastodon.social“They want 1939 Germany but they're going to get 1789 France if they keep fucking around.”
@benroyce Americans don't know history.
sure but in 2003 we got "freedom fries" because france opposed invading iraq
right wing media filled with "surrender monkeys" hate and memes on the french
the resulting deluge of stupidity represents the average content of "french history" knowledge in the average american chud's cranial cavity, and any previous knowledge has been replaced with that crap
@josuex @benroyce @roknrol Lots of young people join the military for employment, travel opportunities, educational opportunities, to get out of their small towns...there is a reason why they like to recruit 19-yr-olds. Most don't expect to actually have to fight.
My father joined the Canadian Armed Forces for most of those reasons. He was lucky that he never did have to be deployed into a war zone. I have an uncle that was part of a peace-keeping trip, got shot, ended up with lifelong pain.
@taschenorakel I was in Paris once during a student protest. The French do not mess around. 
@josuex @benroyce @roknrol
@taschenorakel More likely they know nothing about 1789... @josuex @CStamp @benroyce @roknrol
@taschenorakel ... But as they don't know much about 1776, the Declaration of Independence, and deny the separation of church and state in the US constitution, it's probably not that much of a surprise... @josuex @CStamp @benroyce @roknrol
@BackFromTheDud @taschenorakel @josuex @CStamp @roknrol
1776 was when god made the usa a theocracy, don't you know? (/s)
@BackFromTheDud Yep. The founding fathers would be appalled at the "in god we trust" thing put on money in the 50s. @taschenorakel @josuex @benroyce @roknrol
@BackFromTheDud Actually, I wonder weither this veteran is talking about the storming of the Bastille or about the Jacobins' Great Terror in 1793/1794.
@taschenorakel One led to the other. Something about a "Domino Effect"? @josuex @CStamp @benroyce @roknrol
@BackFromTheDud Not necessarily. Before that terror the French were on a good way to convert their absolutist monarchy into a constitutional monarchy. The 1791 constitution was strongly inspired by the U.S. constitution.
If the people around Marie Antoinette wouldn't have been that eager to launch a counter revolution probably nothing of the terror would have happened.
@taschenorakel @josuex @CStamp @roknrol
that's incorrect
such americans don't know their ass from their elbow
france for them is a ride at disney world epcot center
There's a lot not taught in American schools
It used to be taught in American schools. What they teach in American schools today is mostly propaganda at this point.
@frank I sure would have liked to have been taught in school about how the USA invaded and stole half of Mexico, increasing the landmass of the USA by 1/3.
@IntentionallyBLANK @roknrol @josuex
i don't need a library
xXx_Trump_is_GOD_6969 on twitter said the french drink motor oil
ewww!

@benroyce I'll vote for him
@benroyce .....someone will need to explain the 1789 thing to trumpo & most of the criminal stooges surrounding him...
@benroyce Today, Senator Chuck Schumer agreed to allow a huge wooden horse into Troy. He explained, "Yes, there is a risk involved in letting the horse in. But if we don't, there is the danger that we might corrupt the gift-giving process."
Luigi Mangione may play the role of Charles-Henri Sanson then 
Its not going to end wel nor normally…
i remind myself of #fascist #spain under #franco and look at spain today
doesn't mean spain is utopia today
doesn't mean "it's going to be ok, relax"
it means getting better is real
but:
1. we have a lot fucking work to do
2. there is a lot of fucking suffering ahead of us
3. do not accept #pessimism #cynicism nor #capitulation
as long as we *fight* we can right this rotten ship
biggest ally of #maga:
lazy indifference
get off your fucking asses and fight
i know what it's going to take
it's been really fucking easy since fucking gore v bush in 2000:
you stupid fucking lazy ass moronic americans:
YOU. NEED. TO. FUCKING. #VOTE.
if it comes to molotov cocktails then i'm throwing molotov cocktails
but that's a failure
some airhead fuckwits romanticize that bullshit
it's massive suffering!
narcissistic college sophomores cosplaying revolutionary thinking they're in a fucking movie: deeply cringe
just fucking vote shitheads
even if they're messing with the vote, if we all fucking voted, it becomes readily apparent that's what they're doing, like in venezuela
if stupid assholes don't show up, it's smaller margins, so who can tell?
we have to always fucking vote
anyone who doesn't vote is guilty of giving us trump like maga
of course, indifference is not the same as hate
in some ways, it's worse: "yeah there's fascism taking over the usa. but i don't care, i can't be bothered"
da fuq?
@Doreen32128 @otownKim @jm101 @xs4me2
at least hateful pieces of shit maga show the fuck up. they're evil but they *act*
acting is the only way you ever change this world
what can one say about this large lazy indifferent mass of americans who see what the fuck is going on and voting is too difficult for their precious feelings?
nonvoters you are really stupid toxic assholes
@Doreen32128 @benroyce @otownKim @xs4me2 
That needs to change
@benroyce @Doreen32128 @otownKim @xs4me2
WoW you really don’t get it
@Doreen32128 @benroyce @otownKim @xs4me2
over my head I can only enlighten myself Influence some Questions when questions are need
I’m in Florida
Racism is alive in every Race
@benroyce @Doreen32128 @otownKim @xs4me2
What’s your relationship Hate 
Do you hate the assholes that don’t do something you think they should
@jm101 @Doreen32128 @otownKim @xs4me2 I despise assholes who don't do a single fucking thing at all, nevermind what I think they should do
@benroyce @Doreen32128 @otownKim @xs4me2
So you are acting on what and why
@jm101 @Doreen32128 @otownKim @xs4me2
Yes. I'm *acting*. People who aren't acting are the problem
