None of you dumb fuckers has any idea what “medieval” means.
On Sep 7, 1944, a group of American pilots was tasked with bombing a radio tower at Chichijima Island in the Pacific theater. The Japanese resistance was strong, and many American planes were shot down. Eight pilots managed to parachute to the ground safely but were caught by the Japanese.
The Japanese military tortured them and then brutally executed them, in at least one case forcing the prisoner to dig his own grave before killing him. After the prisoners were executed, the Japanese cannibalized them, not due to lack of rations but to show “fighting spirit”.
A ninth pilot parachuted away that day. The Japanese sent small boats out to try to capture him, but American airplanes arrived to force the Japanese boats back. The pilot was swimming in the open ocean far from any nearby ships when an American submarine suddenly breached the water in front of him and rescued him.
That pilot then went on to become the 41st President of the United States.
Medieval peasant uprisings were inevitably put down and the perpetrators brutally massacred, and also their families.
The first successful uprisings weren’t until the 1800s.
Inns existed in large cities during the medieval period.
It doesn’t matter. They were dead to me a long time ago.
McDs also had an excellent salad wrap for a couple of years.
Taco Bell Choco-Taco. Yeah, the reanimated corpse of it lives on in some gas station frozen sections, but it’s a shitty product. The original one sold at Taco Bell in the 90s was god tier.
The vast majority of people believe whatever the fuck they’re told to believe.
As a large language model, I cannot endorse any one religion
Don’t worry, your mum comes over all the time
In many states, in order to vote in the primary elections of a party you have to be registered to that party.
I’m Ireland we use proportional representation
America does not do that.
The name of the party is literally designed to con voters.
Understanding context is a skill that has atrophied in younger generations. Reading comprehension is not really being taught in school anymore.
It’s infectuous
Capitalism is helping destroy fossil fuels. Solar and hydro electricity is cheaper than fossil fuels.
Government subsidies - interference with he capitalist market - are propping up the oil industry (and the meat industry, while we’re at it).
Properly regulated capitalism is perfectly capable of fixing the climate crisis. Ecology and capitalism work together when going green is cheaper than using fossil fuels.
