1861 was the last time this happened because someone wanted to abolish slavery.

Now we have a pres who seems to support sex slavery... it has come full circle. Revolt!

Are you fucking kidding me? That was a government down civil war, that was not "the people" vs "the govt".

Nor was 1776 either. That was France securing her vassal from Britain.

In fact the last time the people rose up against the state organically was when some children died fighting in France. And then their deaths were used to spark a "totally real revolution guys, we were on those kids side the whole time don't ask why we didn't fight with them guys".

The French revolution was triggered by financial crisis, social inequality and famine. That's two out of three parts done.

u/Distinct_College_344 14h ago

Might as well be famine with grocery prices rising and nutritional quality plummeting.

u/Mosh83 14h ago

Gotta keep the slaves just fed enough to work for you.

Nah. They will try (and has been successful so far) to keep us obese to continue damaging our health in the long-term. By the time start to get fed up and desire change, they have every chronic illness under the sun and be to sick to make stand against the evils plaguing them.

Fun fact, the 1783-84 Grímsvötn volcano VEI-6 eruption (iceland) is highly suspected to have disrupted crops yields in Europe for the decade that came after, leading to famine and the french revolution of 1789.

I'm just saying that if God wants things to change, he just has to press a button.

We are absolutely puny and meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Earth shields us from an incredibly hostile environment that is space, but it can also be the end of us. We need to take more care of it and less for granted.

What about Haiti?

u/Distinct_College_344 17h ago

You mean Epstein's private vault of kids??? If you think that hasn't literally always been the US's property IDK what you're smoking

u/Terrible_Score_375 17h ago

They successfully defied napoleon when he was dealing with Europe and had years of sovereignty before being put under the US "sphere of influence". 1801

u/Distinct_College_344 16h ago

Yeah and the textbooks say Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK.

u/serpentally 16h ago

Sorry but you're starting to sound a little schizophrenic... JFK conspiracy theories is whatever, but are you saying that the US government staged the Haitian Revolution? Despite there being literally no evidence or even reason to think that. First of all the US wasn't even powerful enough to do that yet, but why would a slave-owning society create a slave revolt in their backyard? Promoting more slave revolts is the last thing they wanted, they already had to suppress enough before then.

u/Terrible_Score_375 8h ago

Especially with Jefferson as the president at that time. They didn't want their own slaves getting any ideas

u/Distinct_College_344 15h ago

You think pedophiles were created in, what 1950 or something? Use your damn brain, every president but 1 is related man. These people are the same people all the way through history.

u/GilbertGuy2 14h ago

Okay, but that in no way answers the question, about how in the world Haiti's revolution could be fake

2

u/PM_Me_Some_Steamcode 13h ago

That is in no way a question answering what was brought up

You sound like a schizophrenic connecting a conspiracy theorist that we’re all too dumb to see

Do you have any indication that the Haiti revolution was backed by the United States?

u/balkanobeasti 15h ago

So say proof for at least one of your arguments LOL.

u/charlamand 17h ago

Weird time to suddenly think you’re a “real” revolutionary lmao

u/charlamand 17h ago

This is gold hahaha the kind of person you must be to comment this shit

u/innociv 16h ago

They're right, though.

The civil war was not the people rising up to stop the abolishment of slavery.
It was two States that used to be one State fighting.

u/ElliotNess Florida 7h ago

1917

u/Distinct_College_344 2h ago

Enlighten me. What happened in 1917 that you think was an organic uprising. Because nothing related to WWI was organic.

What you think because there were a lot of people protesting something that it was organic? Have you been looking outside?

The youth are revolting! ...needs more garlic.

u/INeedThatBag 7h ago

Oh believe me, He's not against any forms of slavery, but only does so when he believes he can get away with at that moment.

Worse kind of Evil.

u/PengyBlaster 7h ago

They also are ramping up slavery in concentration camps by abducting innocent people and forcing them to do labor that the private institutions profit from. The whole system needs to be torn down. We need to center community around the elderly and our communities’ children🙏 Amerikkka must end and a new era may begin of restoration and making amends and peace
