@@susangavaghan Yeah, those disgusting terrorists. At that time, even common men did not have the right to vote. Only men from nobility could vote. It was basically posh, upper class women throwing a tantrum. I am never going to forgive them over how they used young boys as sacrificial lambs as they forced them for army conscription which resulted in the horrific deaths of many. The climate alarmists are very much like those horrible suffragettes.

2024: Muslims invading Europe.
Guys we’re living in some crazy times right now!
On the 28 January 2024 Two protesters have hurled soup at the bulletproof glass protecting Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting, the Mona Lisa, in Paris’s Louvre museum. The act of vandalism on Sunday, which came as French farmers protested across the country, was the latest in a string of similar attacks against artworks to demand more action to protect the planet. On Sunday morning, local time, two women flung streams of red and orange soup onto the glass protecting the painting, sparking gasps from bystanders. “What is more important? Art or the right to healthy and sustainable food?” they asked, standing in front of the painting and speaking in turn. “Your agricultural system is sick. Our farmers are dying at work,” they added, before security staff placed black screens in front of them and evacuated the room. A group called Riposte Alimentaire, which translates as “Food Counterattack”, claimed responsibility for the stunt. In a statement sent to AFP, it said the soup throwing marked the “start of a campaign of civil resistance with the clear demand … of the social security of sustainable food”. The action comes amid days of protests from French farmers, who are demanding better pay, taxes and regulations. The French government has been trying to keep discontent among the agricultural workers from spreading in the months ahead of European parliament elections, which are seen as a key test for President Emmanuel Macron’s faction.
They throw some kind of soup on the art then claim they are activists then proceeds to say they are food health activists The irony and stupidity at same place makes them the biggest clowns 🤡 i hv seen

Normal for girls developmentally in first years of puberty to attach very real feelings of disgust upon something, anything. This is often the basis of women's political beliefs - it's whatever they found disgusting during those formative years. Or when hormones made them cry what they fixed on to cry about. I just see two 12-year-old girls throwing up their soup in front of mother who doesn't care.

This idea that people just willingly sit around expecting to be cared for us just ignorant. It also completely ignores that the ability to work is temporary, decay is a natural part of life, no one is strong and healthy forever. If people are putting work into sustaining a society while they're able, then that society should also be taking care of these people when they're no longer able to contribute like they used to. An individualist society is an oxymoron
