"We were starving so I stole a single loaf of bread"
"That is the most evil thing I've heard of, 20 years in prison with hard labor for you, peasant."
You joke but petty theft used to be punished with execution in early modern England. All part and parcel of the enclosure and proletarianisation efforts to enshrine the reign of capital :)
You know I'm also quoting from book that's a social commentary on the conditions of the proletariat in France and also a hit Broadway movie musical with Wolverine "Les Miserable"
Is it actually worth reading? I've heard Hugo is good but it just seems so long and I'd rather just read Zola again.
I'd say if you got the time and want to read a genuine masterpiece, go for it. If not watch the musical.
The chances of me reading the book are a hell of a lot higher than watching a musical so maybe I'll check it out!
If not watch the musical.
Are you... recommending people listen to Russell Crowe sing? If so, dawg what the actual fuck is wrong with you???
Are you against listening to Russell Crowe loudly crow his lines? Do you not know what fine art is? Can you not see, or hear in this case, the beauty within the awful?
Also there's the original musical you nerd
There are like 20 million versions of Les mis done every year alone. It wouldn't be hard to fine one without the Crowe :bird-mad:
unrelated but did you know its publishing deal remains the highest figure ever paid for a work of literature

Thanks for sharing, that was really interesting! A cool $4 million for a book that could have just been banned entirely, transported by hand... literature was definitely cooler back then.

FUCK YOUR PATENT LAW AMERICA IS ASSHOLE
A select few lawyers are good and all cops are bad.
Patent lawyers, though...
Dead wrong, some lawyers actually help people. Many important revolutionaries of the past have been lawyers. Cops, no.
Nah theater kids are fucking drama babies. I was a debate nerd that laughed on the sidelines as they lost their shit over whatever drama they self-inflicted on themselves
Fuck, can't out argue you, only option is to cry really hard and have friends
Love the idea that North Korea is superhumanly strong compared to other nations.
Hey I made this meme about a year ago! Absolutely love to see leftist memes circulating well
