I'll start : They fucking killed Thomas Sankara :france-cool:

I share the blame as I am French myself, that's why I don't forget today is not only a mindless military parade in paris but also the birthday of the people's revolt that took the Bastille, one of the King's fortresses in Paris, making way for one of the first revolutions in modern history. The Bourgeois and reactionaries may have betrayed the revolution but it still remains an example to follow and was a the stepping stone for the broader "left" political movement to develop in Europe ( the term itself was created during the revolution).

Let us remember the Peasants in the streets of Paris who had enough and went against their all powerful god-king who's family had reigned for centuries, and won !

May we have their strength , May we know their bliss

    In fairness, I believe the people storming the Bastille also hated France

    Also they pillaged and enslaved most of West and Central Africa for four hundred years and counting and should never be forgiven for their crimes.
