    The Pastry War - In 1838, a French pastry chef claimed that his shop in Mexico City had been seriously damaged by looting Mexican officers. He appealed to the French king for help, France fined Mexico. Mexico refused to pay - France declared War. It ended with 8 dead on US/Texas/France side, 95 dead on UK/Mexico side.

If you tally up all the human lives that have ever been lived on this planet under organized systems of government, no more than five per cent were lived under consensual systems. Even to get up to five per cent, you have to include places like ancient Athens and Tudor England, which wouldn’t pass muster as “democratic” by modern standards. In the last couple of centuries, practically all consensual systems have been Anglo-Saxon. Other cultures can fake it for a few decades, as France, Germany, and Japan are currently doing, but their hearts aren’t really in it and they will swoon gratefully into the arms of a fascist dictator when one comes along.
    So funny you say that. Anglos have been under the most cruel kingdoms in all of Europe. Nowhere else was such a caste system as in England. Ffs your kings had an appointed courtier to talk to while in the toilet.
