This guy looks and acts like a complete monster. I hope these brave whistleblowers stay safe, and prevent him from getting this insane position.

    It’s not at all if you’re talking about:

    a) global political impact b) an expression of revolt by populace and THEN it’s effect c) the general recognized importance of it in general

    The ones that ARE absolutely responsible for global change are:

    1. Mexican Rev: it disrupted global trade for multiple decades
    2. American: same as above, but put a nail in the coffin of the British Empire which led to…
    3. Haitian and Chinese Rev: almost like they planned it, but was a death sentence to the British Empire. Within just a year, the British influence over colonies absolutely fucking collapsed, affecting not just South America, but also India and East Asia at large.

    The French Rev was minor in comparison.

      “Global change”

      I said iconic and widely referenced.

      The French Revolution has second billing, after the American Revolution, on the wikipedia page for “revolution”.

      I don’t care that you think it was minor due to the actual global impact on society. We are in a comment thread on lemmy where a guy made a joke and reference to what is indisputibly one of the most referenced revolutions in all of history.

      The guy told a joke that made perfect sense to everyone who read it, except you, apparently. How you can continue to argue against the majority on something that is defined by the majority- I do not know.
