Then: "Let them eat cake."
Now: MAKE them eat cake.
@lamp@neon.nightbulb.net
I don't understand what I am reading.
"Let them eat cake" is a very old journalist meme about government indifference to the horrible suffering it causes to the impoverished people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let/_them/_eat/_cake
Like many other memes and political slogans, it is falsely attributed to someone who actually didn't say it.
So we have gone from, "Let them eat cake" to "Make them eat cake [bugs]" as a political meme used by journalists and agitators to promote an agenda of faux resistance.
I am aware of where it comes from, I was saying YOU didn't understand what you were reading.
I can see now what my mistake was.
I grant you absolution my son.
I don't see the word you in that statement
Thats because it was in first person as I assumed you wanted to say...
You still seem to have problems with comprehension.
I'm not @lamp
You might want to check usernames when you're trolling
Nah, you hoped into this of your own accord on their bullshit, so you get the same brush.
