  • The whole “French surrenders” thing is missing context.

    My understanding is that the term originated in WW2 when Nazi Germany invaded and France didn’t put up a fight. Conservatives in the USA called them cowards etc but what they didn’t know (like they cared) was that the French have been very effective in war for centuries even before the USA was a thing.

    The French knew they were going to lose any war with Germany at this point in the war and relied on their allies to help them out. Surrender was the best possible option for them to save lives.

    Anyone who says that the French are weak don’t know shit about their history and don’t know how their alliance has helped the US.









  • You know what the difference is between a million dollars and a billion dollars?

    A billion dollars.

    Those who make $200k have more in common with people in poverty than people who are billionaires.

    I make good money but I am not under any illusion that a bad accident or a medical issue will wipe out my savings in a heartbeat. Just because I can afford to go on vacation doesn’t mean that I don’t understand what it means to be “working class”.

    I am working class and their ally. All you’re doing is intentionally creating a wedge between “well off” people and the poor instead of coalescing together to attack the actual capital class.
