Are those graphs accurate? The modern one seems right, but I have no idea about pre-revolution France
is the modern one right? Why are there two bars per quintile? Isn’t the top 10% above 90% of the populations wealth?
Now show the top 0.01% as their own bar
So, who’s gonna be Robespierre?
We don’t need a Robespierre. No man can throw the One Ring into Mount Doom.
We need an organizing council that cannot take political power.
JFK junior?
Isn’t… Isn’t he already dead?? Like 25 years ago?
Depends on who you ask
So what is the hint we are dropping?
The French Revolution started in 1789.
The hint that we have way to few guillotines at hand.
Naah he’s 6 inches 4 cm.
What are China and Russia like, for comparison?
>Open post criticizing the US
>Look inside
>Whataboutism
Every time
We can criticize both you know.
But a graph comparing authoritarian regimes would be nice as a reply to these dumb tankies shilling for dictators and imperialism.
It’s a weak criticism without comparisons. As others in the comments pointed out, most countries around the world have similar numbers, and I don’t think we’re on the brink of a worldwide revolution lol
Plus it’s not like France was some bastion of democracy after the French Revolution, we should really be trying to avoid past mistakes.
And since people who often post such hyper-fixated US-centric economic critiques usually argue in favor of China, I genuinely wanted to know how China’s numbers look too. I’m certain Russia’s numbers are fucking terrible but I wanted a laugh so I included them.
I’ma need more than a sample size of 2.
