From any FR historians, for our education, what exactly was the ‘cake’ that Marie Antoinette was referring to ?

Upon being told that the people had no bread, Marie Antoinette reportedly responded, “let them eat cake.”

No, she never said that. But this urban legend has stubbornly persisted for more than two centuries.

It is not certain that Marie Antoinette said any such thing.

It is more likely that she suggested brioche rather than cake.

All bakery product prices were regulated so bakers would not evade bread price controls by just selling cakes.

If you go back 50 years or so, the big topic was the population explosion. Billions and Billions of people would overwhelm the earth and cause massive famines.

But that didn’t happen. For two reasons: 1) Food production keeps improving with high technology and 2) The planet’s population seems to have pretty much topped out and is in decline in many areas.

Everything is supply and demand. We have increased Supply and we have lowered Demand.

And they want us to eat bugs.

There can be no good reason for this.

“meat”

Dairy cows and bulls allow land that is not suitable for food crops to be used to provide meat and milk to feed people.

Imagine if there was no animal milk for babies.

“pods”

The images of Jacob Riis made of immigrants to NYC living in shared rooms come to mind.

I should add that meat and dairy production is not dependent on pesticide usage.

We need a French style revolution.

Defeat the whole "nobility" (and their lackeys and pets), not just politicians.

They got awY with stealing an election right in fron t of the whole world, i. Broad day.ight, and now possibly gonna get away with giving away our sovereignty to foreign countries, so look for them to push the envelope as far as possible like,forcing folks to give up meat, and take up eating bugs to replace it. Who’s gonna stop them from mandating constitution violating laws? Certainly not the gop in office. Heck the gop aren’t even riled up over the
POssibility of losing sovereignty, nor were they riled up about the faux administration’s asszult,on the 1st amendment

Russia, right now, is their BIGGEST OBSTACLE to this future for the West. If they are able to dispose of the Russian Government and replace it with a Western puppet, they’ll then move on to China and India.

On October 16, 1793 Marie Antoinette was beheaded.

Like he said, history doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme.

I don’t own a firearm.
I live in NJ and have tried but still working on the process. Making an appointment to fingerprinted is a hassle.

Those of you who are legally armed when is it time to get the cartridge boxes out?

Honest to God these Democrats mean to kill us.

The DNC’s mouth pieces on MSNBC and CNN are saying crap like this all the time.

One thing that does appear to repeat in history (or maybe it simply never goes away) is the fantasy that the middle class is dispensable and the working class endlessly exploitable, that a society made up of royals and drones is stable. The contrary can be a tough lesson to learn and it appears to arise just before the fall of empire.

It will surprise nobody here that it looks like things are about to get messy. The grand Transformation promised by the proggies means simply that prosper and be left alone will no longer be an option, and they're proud of it. Their dream of royal rule, though - that isn't the only option left and the others aren't pretty.
