      You guys are very far from normal, about half your “memes” are just communist whingeing thinly veiled as humour.

      ML banned my .ml account for saying that soldiers in the US revolution didn’t murder families and children. They are full mask off

        I mean objectively some probably did. One of the major provisions of the treaty of Paris was the protection of folks who were loyalists from retaliations, and the nascent US’ inability to actually keep their end of that term is basically the starting point of Canada post revolution.

        What qualifies that is that several revolutionary leaders majorly disincentivized that behavior, Washington in particular famously forced his soldiers to compensate nearby townsfolk for anything they needed to take, even during the stay at Valley Forge where they were basically starving to such an extreme that Washington brought Vaccine science to the US military because otherwise the sheer starvation they were going through was liable to leave them all especially exposed to disease.

      I think it’s just the biggest and most accessible, so you’re obviously going to see the most of this kind of whiney shit posting.
