It happens a lot less when you don’t cramp billions of animals in extremely close quarters

Their entire Luddite mindset is intended to keep their members tied to the church.

They can use gas and kerosene to power engines other than ones that allow them to travel at reasonable speeds. They can use any electric device unless it’s attached to the grid.

Their entire cult is devoted to maintaining their bishop’s creepy control over their members lives.

Lol, Mr. Duncan does provide a very entertaining pop-history podcast don’t get me wrong, but please don’t go quoting him as a reference.

I think you and I are arguing two different things, your source lumps together all the deaths during the Revolution, including Reactionary military actions while I am arguing specifically that very few people of the 3rd estate were killed extra judicially as a method of “terror” by the guillotine.

Best of luck in your slow road to fascism. I hope you succeed in improving your lot with non-violent means. Maybe if the revolutionaries asked nicely Louis would’ve just enacted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen voluntarily.

Do you have a source for that claim? As far as I know most of the people guillotined were emigres or members of the upper class who went against the prevailing political party at the time.

Many commoners did die in the Revolution, but they mostly died in the infernal columns or similar military actions in the Vendee region and other reactionary uprisings.

I can see that this is super funny to you, but some people with chronic allergies can’t enjoy their vacations or go about their lives because inconsiderate people demand to bring their pets to public areas such as hotels or stores.

In the American system you need more than just a majority in congress to pass a resolution like federal abortion legalization.

At no time under Obama did Democrats have 60 seats in the senate. They had 57 seats and 2 independents who caucused with them.

This is not enough seats to overcome a filibuster which would be required to legalize abortion in all the states. They would have required 1 Republican to vote with the Democrats on this topic and I think even in the kinder political times that Republican would have been strung up on a light pole when they returned back to their home district.

I’m asking from a place of ignorance about your POV, but why is trespassing on “private property” bullshit?

No more monkeys jumping on the bed?

Oh I have quite a vested interest in the US not falling into a Civil War. I really don’t want to leave my family/businesses to hide out in Canada until it blows over.

But I also have a pretty hefty knowledge about early 19th century Napoleonic history and the overwhelming amount of British propaganda that gets repeated in the Anglosphere irks me.

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.

Sorry, I think you misunderstood my intent.

Per you, “That’s false and offensive stereotyping.” “Stop trying to make stuff up.”

You accused /u/paddirn of lying and other worse things. I was just trying to point out that they were referencing a specific event that has happened.

I didn’t say anything about judging all Muslims based on the actions of this one city council.

But the specific thing that Paddirn is referencing DID happen?

That is not how Western cattle farming works. As someone in the industry I can confidently say that no cow sold to a processor get a majority of their calories through grazed uncultivated grassland.

That is a feasible strategy for subsistence farming, but not in our for-profit farming model.
