I haven’t even read any communist stuff my ideology is “share and be nice” like the first two rules of a kindergarten

Looking at old clothing is super funny, because sometimes you see something like this and you’re like…

“Aha, I know EXACTLY who would wear this!”

So I just read the title of an article from a History magazine, The Guillotine, the infernal invention of the French Revolution.

Yes because all the other ways of execution were better. Like being hanged, or dismembered.

it’s funnie how you can say “I support capitalism” without someone going “so you support [atrocity committed in the name of profit under capitalism]?”

like no one will ask you your thoughts on imperialism, corporations using child slavery, billions of people living on starvation wages, world hunger increasing, climate change, corporations funding dictators and terrorists, etc.

but if you oppose capitalism you must apologize for Everything Ever and water down your politics

I have decided I love Citizen Genêt.

[fine-things-for-plain-occasions]

This man came from France and made himself so annoying as an ambassador that Hamilton and Jefferson managed to agree he should leave. They got Washington to write an 8000 word letter telling him to leave.

[fine-things-for-plain-occasions]

He said no, so George asked France to take him back. And the French Jacobins were like: even better, we’ll kill him! :) So George gave Genêt asylum and he just… stayed

[fine-things-for-plain-occasions]

He married a) the daughter of the New York governor and b) the daughter of the first post master general. Genêt decided if he was gonna insert himself into America, he was going as American as he could get. I love this man.
