It was an article someone posted in a comment on here, It'll be somewhere in my saved so I'll try to find it.

Yeah wasn't it something like, they want the US to be the center of rebuilt civilisation, so they'd nuke everything else, including their allies..

The reddit thread in reaction to that data was hilarious, the amount of cope..

How dare you suggest that I, the prestigious software developer, am not is the backbone of society?

also white liberals think that they're MLK when they get to vote for a black person

labour (uk) tried this exact strategy, they won due to collapse of the tories but recieved less votes than when they LOST in 2019, more tory 2019 voters died than switched to labour and the reform party (far right populist) recieved massive gains

So most of the tories that they were trying to win over either didn't vote, voted reform, or DIED.

The people that they alienated (the left, muslims, black people and trans people) were lost to greens/independent.

Even when you luck out and it 'works' it puts you on the road to failure in the next election.

Um what about the 500 shitty startups??

[โ€“] weeen@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Yeah I already saw someone post about that so I wanted to share this bit of history behind it, those 900 are just the tip of the iceberg.

It's a letter to consolidate his instructions to people partaking in the revolt and the comment at the bottom is the french general writing the pamphlet.

It was intercepted by the French after the capital city was set on fire.

The comment at the end of this quote from the French account of the early Haiti revolt is pretty funny

spoiler[A letter by] Augustin Rigaud, which was intercepted at the time of the fire at Port-au-Prince, and which the provincial assembly of the south had the imprudence to make public.

"The parish of Aquin has just accepted the peace treaty, but there is no safety with such perverse men. The blow is surely planned in Les Cayes and everywhere. Take care; leave the city; camp at the slightest movement: kill, ransack, burn, there is no more safety for you.

Our enemies must not take advantage of their perfidy; no arrangements until after the instructions (which were expected from Croix-des-Bouquets). I am flying to vengeance; if my destination is not to die in this expedition, I will return immediately to join you. Camp, and we will defeat the brigands who want to slaughter our party and reduce it to slavery.

Vengeance! Vengeance! I embrace you all: My last word is to avenge myself on these barbarians. Fly to the aid of your slaughtered brothers. Long live freedom! Long live equality! Long live love!"

A declaration that proves how far delirium can lead one astray!


lmao How crazy must you be for not wanting to be enslaved?
