We're not at fault for the actions of those in the past, but we are responsible for making sure that such events never occur again. That's a very good way to look at it, yes. 10 hours ago, Eltosian Kadath said: I think its more than two... Ah, well, I'm bad at meth. 9 hours ago, Newtype06 said: But he's a great actor tho Ah, yes.

Is the ice age a good unironic answer? Obviously the struggle for survival was at it's greatest but because everyone was struggling for survival, that probably meant cooperation was stronger back then than it is now. 1 hour ago, Shrimpolaris said: We don't wanna return to these times do we Of course not. I remember reading that everyone who wasn't French thought the French went too far. Like iirc, America inspired the French Revolution and they were initially supportive of it, like "yeah, overthrow your king haha" but then when the Reign of Terror indiscriminately targeted people, America was like "wait not like that". This information was retained from high school history class, so details may or may not be accurate. The revolution may be over but i think the spirit never truly left France. Cause every time the French government does something unpopular, the French will quite literally shut down cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you can't call those safe for work when you have birds doing fancy courtship rituals all for the sake of getting laid and tiny little spiders that perfectly camouflage themselves on flowers to suck the life out of unsuspecting bees.

Cause every time the French government does something unpopular, the French will quite literally shut down cities. You have seen the lyrics of French national anthem- "La Marseillaise", right? To copy the first two verses translated, with bolding to emphasize my point. Arise, children of the Fatherland, The day of glory has arrived! Against us, tyranny's Bloody standard is raised, (repeated) Do you hear, in the countryside, The roar of those ferocious soldiers?They're coming right into your arms To cut the throats of your sons, your women! Refrain: To arms, citizens, Form your battalions, March, march!Let an impure blood Water our furrows! Paris from 1789 until like 1871 was the most riotous city in all of Europe I think. Basically a century of upheaval. Not helping was that being an old, bustling European city, the streets and alleys could be a giant narrow labyrinth, favoring the defending rioters against premodern riot police. It has been debated if the modern reconstruction of Paris began in the 1850s under Emperor Napoleon III was intended to assist the military and make it harder for protesters to hold out. Broad, straight boulevards are not easy to defend and great for troop movement, so the argument goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been considering visiting Washington DC again, but, realizing Prelude to Autocracy is coming this fall and have all three branches of government under its control by 2025, is holding me back. I know I'd be walking the streets of a capital soon to be no longer a beacon of freedom. Dammit! WHY CAN'T OVERCOME THE ROCKY PATH DROWN THIS OUT!?!?!?! Autocracy might be a blessing depending on how the dominoes fall, the weird amount of discourse about guns that isn't "How do we make it not this easy to bring one into the school and start blasting?" and stick to serious solutions, but in a way it's sadly on trend. If anything this will probably empower a call out of policing if the discourse holds. 8 hours ago, Benice said: As a side note, I feel quite bad for my school music teacher. She spends a lot of her own time making recordings of our pieces for us, but I don't think anyone's gonna use 'em during their practice... Ah well, I'm sure she's just trying to get us to practice more. Maybe it'll work for some people! Yeah, I remember that happening with the last choir I was in too, I don't know if many of us took to it enthusiastically. It's a fair amount of effort and that's without considering multiple instruments. Your teacher takes her work seriously. 1 hour ago, lightcosmo said: Forgot to show this, but Leif is now Full Noba in this mod, Altenna wasn't worthy. XD Dicks.

Broad, straight boulevards are not easy to defend and great for troop movement, so the argument goes. There's at least 5 large scale revolts in that period alone in Paris? I'd suspect trying to remove that risk makes a lot of sense. Course, those wide boulevards are great when an enemy can then proceed to march up them after defeating you. Speaking of Paris's roads, might as well link this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the struggle for survival was at it's greatest but because everyone was struggling for survival, that probably meant cooperation was stronger back then than it is now. In poorer countries still, you often see families and neighbors working together in cooperation. There's a much stronger sense of community in these areas and it keeps many folks there grounded and down to earth. I specifically remember this one quote from a Russian lady talking about the Soviet Union days "Back then, people were much poorer, but they were also much kinder" 1 hour ago, Dayni said: Lots of that with red, white and blue flags. Wonder why that is........ Well from a historical standpoint it's simply because red white and blue were the cheapest dye colors There was more I wanted to respond to but I need to be leaving in a bit to see my brother who just graduated.
