They hanged the people who got us the 8-hour workday.
If people actually understood how willing our government is to go to war with its own people simply for demanding equal rights, I think a lot more of us would be ready for war.

The guy’s favorite movie is Citizen Kane which I’m pretty sure he sees it as aspirational, especially in its aesthetics. I’ve just assumed he sees Les Mis as a bombastic pageant of fighting authority with violent resistance. Fascists are usually concerned with aesthetics over message in their art.

this is so real and it makes me so mad. enough people just said "cool I guess I'll give you a bunch of money then" instead of saying "nah, you already got the taxman to pay for your stadium, put it on the network or I'm out"
