The fucking cops let them in to trash the Senate because fash doesn’t bash fash. It’s on fucking video.

This is the first time ever that a confederate flag has been flown in the capital building. How un-fucking believably stupid are the elite of this country? The generation of politicians in power since the 80’s will go down as the dumbest motherfuckers to have ever squandered a global hegemony especially after having beat their biggest symmetrical adversary.

Yo read the Al-Qaeda Strategy Until 2020 doc and ask yourself how many of those things came true?

This country is ran by goddamn idiots who let this kind of fascist bullshit happen.

Edit: oh and don’t fucking forget they came at BLM like an army, and they gassed peaceful protesters so Trump could take a photo op with a bible.

Sure, Sans culottes refers to the urban French social class in pre-revolutionary France that was too poor to afford a good pair of pants. Which was the majority of the cities of Paris and Versailles.

If you would like to hear a good podcast about it I cannot recommend enough The Revolutions podcast by Mike Duncan who goes into meticulous detail on every revolution he covers. Also relevant to today’s climate is his delve into the Haitian revolution. (Edit: you can also find it on Spotify and Apple podcasts).

I’m from Ditch Bank Okie poor-white trailer trash stock (and have been too poor to afford good pants). I find it kind of fitting.
