in history today we were talking about the american revolution and how it was unfair of the british to tax the colonies so much even on basic necessities they need to live. so i raised my hand, “isn’t that like how we’re still taxed on everything we buy today? even things we need like groceries in certain states, and pads/tampons.”

and the whole class got so fucking quiet andkdldbrjfjd

but yea like it so hypocritical the way the whole country like looks up to the american revolution.

today protesters are told they’re violent for arguing with people. but back then the colonists would throw rocks at soldiers and pour melted tar on tax collectors effectively burning them to death. and nobody thinks that is wrong, everybody thinks the colonists had to do whatever they needed to do to win but,,, when modern day activists do anything besides stay emotionless and quiet, they get told theyre crazy radicals who won’t get anywhere from being angry.

anyway this was a random thought i had
