There's no way someone can seriously believe Ben Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson alone couldn't pass modern high school if they were granted a modern childhood with access to the information that entails rather than transported through time and immediately asked to do it. I bet the ones I named could do this, not because I worship the Founders but because high school standards aren't more rigorous than what those guys studied on their own. They probably could even figure out the hardest part, the science, because they understood the science of their time and we haven't exactly overthrown most of the basic general knowledge there. Franklin and Jefferson probably would love modern high school biology and chemistry, they would already know the physics for the most part. All these dudes did math without calculators lmao, and not a single one of them ever ran a failed ranch with mass graves.

I feel like most leaders of any successful revolution are going to tend to be on the right side of the bell curve. You have to successfully convince lots of other people to believe in an abstract vision of a better society, then lead them usually in a war where you're starting disadvantaged against a hostile state apparatus that's already set up, and finally try to set up a stable, functional government afterwards. You average high school grad really has to have the drive to show up to school most days for 4 years.

Even most "successful" revolutionaries fail the latter. Mao would be an example.

So would be the Founders of the U.S., although arguably that wasn't even a revolution in the same sense as something like the French Revolution, rejecting the previous society altogether. After the American Revolution, there was continuity between the colonial charters of the States and their subsequent constitutions, mostly mediated by the federal constitution's prohibitions on particularly reviled aspects of English jurisprudence.

However, the common law was generally retained except where specifically abrogated by statute. Early post-Revolutionary American case law often cites cases themselves based on English common law, and sometimes directly cites English law.

In a very real sense, the American Revolution was a bourgeois revolution (and why that's a GOOD THING) that preserved the good parts of the previous order while excising the bad. It didn't eliminate law and order and install a murderous tyranny (unlike the French Revolution), but merely changed at least the stated locus of power from some distant (and mentally diseased) monarch to the people themselves.

That's cool and all, but my point was that your average successful revolutionary probably is smarter than average and the average person is smarter than the average trancher by implication.
Far more than 50% of high school seniors graduate each year because we expect anyone who gives effort and isn't literally retarded to pass that milestone (also we have special programs for the slow-in-the-minds) to help them reach that goal. It's literally expected and if anyone tries then they should have a good probability of achieving that goal. This is the education system that these people are produced by.
I would bet every time that an actual revolutionary (you need to have a successful revolution, whichever kind) would come far and ahead against the tranch or pretty much any self-described "revolutionary" in any test given the same education 1v1 or on average, and I would make large bucks.

Having dealt with college professors, smart != competent.

The American revolution was fairly unique for a while they didn't even want to be a new country, they just wanted representation in parliment. But more importantly while George Washington was the leader, he brought with him people who had actual skills in administration vs. simple ideological purity. And he was not power hungry, which most revolutionary leaders are.

You can look at other cases where actual patriots and not parasites took power, like South Korea's early dictatorship, where the priority is bettering the nation, not imposing ideals or hording power.

There's a name for the dumb ones generally: corpses.

I can't believe Penny just casually did that alpaca a heckin transphobia

What a TERF

 

[Procopius]

Another little story from the Custer Country Sheriff's dept. I've no idea if this is tranch related, one that escaped the great massacre, or a completely different alpaca altogether.


All that time when they had a flock of alpaca, a wall full of guns, but no opportunity.

For all zero people wondering, Bryan Loeper aka Neck aka Salina aka Transcucumber The Child Abandoner has not 41%'d yet.

He has accepted the T4T life, has a "puppygirl", horny posts/RTs about the concept, RTs posts about how the Barbie movie had a scene pandering to deaf people and that is bad ? (still longing for a prolapsed wedge of a deaf clown, perhaps). From a glance, very boring but comparitively tame for trannies.

He shared a typical mtf couple picture with a leash in response to soneone posting a picture of their puppy that I will edit in later because Hurricane Electric is sneeding on my constitutional right to laugh at faggots. But for all zero of you that cannot wait, https://archive.md/VQ4w1

Glad the dude ditched his kids to live out his gross sex pest dreams. Very valid, much slay.

Hey guys, it's me, Earl. Just letting you know that my militia and I are still monitoring the Penis and co. I've just been having issues keeping up with the domain changes.

Nothing has happened. I'm going to stop updating every week unless there's something to show.

Couple glimpses of Kevin carrying around a box:

Jen is making progress on his videogame:

Fascinating stuff. wow

For anyone who didn't see it, Kindness deleted her Twitter account not too long ago. Bonnie also made a cryptic tweet. They might have broken up? Hard to tell.

I appreciate all the work you're going keep us in the know. Personally I don't care if its a nothing burger of an update or not.

Wonder if penny will take the opportunity of a nice quiet house, while Kevin's away, to an hero.
Just a passing flight of curiosity

 

[Sexy Senior Citizen]

That can't be Kevin. Since when does he do manual labor?

It’s never a nothingburger. See the cryptids. Check on the desertification of the yard.

Lol he’s wearing the same faded top to go out with his polycule in Brighton.

Still appreciated.

Your second pic pissed me off. If one of my sheep looked like that, I'd be rightly ostracised by the whole damned dale. If the lazy fucks can't be assed to do a light shear and dip, they could at least hand pull the worst of it. Recipe for flyblown otherwise.

 

[stupid frog]

Lol @ Jen using his phone to record his computer screen.

 

[Vesperus]

I'm not even sure how they managed that - the poor bugger looks square, like they stuffed the fleece into a wool press and realized at the last minute they'd forgotten to take the sheep out.

Which would be a funny mental image if we didn't have this poor sod to look at.
