Images of the president were shared by guests on social media Friday at the lavish event which featured a three-course menu of beef filet, truffle dauphinoise, pan-seared scallops and a trio of desserts including “Trump chocolate cake.”
I’ve never put the USA on a pedestal, but I think you imagine Tsarist Russia as a place full of human rights. Those who stormed the Bastille in France risked more than any American protesting, I assure you. If all your rights are respected, do you need to protest in the first place?
What are you talking about with Tsarist Russia? A pre-industrial society comprised mainly of serfs is an unimaginable society to pollution riddled america where a third of every city is dedicated to state funded car infrastructure. These are wholly different societies at different industrial scales.
The reality is that the US has been like this for almost 100 years before which was was transitioning from european slave colonies. The most comparable revolution was probably the Civil War which lead to the industrialization of the south.
France is the size of like a mid sized US state. For something equivalent we’d need like 20 bastille stormings all on the same day to hold a candle against a modern security state. As for revolutions… Castro, in particular, noted he simply lucked out and didn’t recommend similar revolutions.
That’s not to say people shouldn’t do what they can, but its just nobody knows what the actual solution looks like or how to get there which is why people are stupidly looking at like post franco spain instead of the bolsheviks.
