when i was really young i used to think that what was going on was the the poor people were like "we need food" and Marie was like "let them eat cake" and then threw the cake out the window for them to eat i kinda wish i'd never gained context cause the idea of some rich french lady throwing cake out a window at people is still funny to me

usenet celeb 1992 posted:One thing I read a long time ago (possibly in the Straight Dope, take it for what that's worth) is that "cake" could have been a mistranslation or a misunderstanding of the term as it was used at the time, which was to refer to crusty leftover batter; that is, she was saying the poors could just dine on scraps. Not sure if that really changes the tone of contempt and disconnectedness associated with the quote, but it's an interesting footnote. The untranslated, though still completely apocryphal, sentence is about brioche.

I'm probably not the first person to say this, but, I'm going to wager that this is the theme for the duration of Trump's presidency. "Well, we can't defend his horrible poo poo, so we're going to try to draw false equivalence and keep up the narrative that both sides are equally as bad."

Hell, Maire probably had more voice and importance than Ivanka.

It's would be better than what Marie Antoinette actually did, which was pissing away the money on gambling and a village where she could cosplay as a poor peasant.

"Cheer up, you'll get it right next time, or the time after that". 7 2014 war in Gaza "Tzuk Eytan" report "2017 war in Gaza - Start filling this out. 8 Military robot project - out. Robot to replace that clown in politics - in. Anyone got the "poopie pants, I hate him" Ramirez edit?

The Irish have successfully integrated into mainstream American culture and no one cares anymore that their heritage gets turned into goofy little mascots or excuses to have drunken parties. Cultural atrocities committed against mainstream cultures don't really count.

Garrison posted:I drew this cartoon earlier this week in the anticipation that Geert Wilders might win the Dutch election. Wilders stood for halting the rising tide of Islam in the Netherlands as well as Europe. He was also for stemming the EU’s globalist hegemony and returning power to the people. Naturally, the EU loves endless Muslim immigration because it weakens nationalism and allows globalism to tighten its grip.

But hey, spending that money on jets we'll never use is A-OK. Atlantic posted:On Thursday morning, President Trump’s proposal for the federal budget confirmed a fact long suspected: the proposed elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Together, the four groups receive less than a billion dollars a year, with the NEA and the NEH costing taxpayers $148 million a year each—approximately 0.004 percent of the federal budget individually. Their elimination would be largely symbolic, signaling the Trump administration’s intent to slash spending it sees as “wasteful” while potentially spending 146 times as much as the NEA’s annual allotment on a border wall whose efficacy even Republican lawmakers have disputed. If you're an average American household, your federal tax burden is about $9,000. So the wily National Endowment for the Arts is stealing about $0.36 from you to fund those lazy moochers.
