What was the moment that everything went to complete shit?

What was the moment that everything went to complete shit?

January 2 1981
Reagan administration is sworn into office and America institutionalized neoliberalism into its domestic and trade policy, marking the official point of no-return in the ecological apocalypse

The world had it going nicely until

>1618
>1792
>1914

Romans not exterminating the Gauls

As an Englishman, this may offend some: I really like France.

People are great, countryside is great, the state (infrastructure, transport, etc.) is great.

Historically, England would be nowhere without the eternal banter and competition from its neighbour.

After 1918, considering Gamelin was actually allowed to stay as the commander of the French military despite being hilariously incompetent.

Pretty much the moment this guy died

when they decided to become a republic

>five fucking republics

French """""""""""""""""""""""""""""food"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Is that a deep fried spider? Not even americans do that shit

more like the day he became "Emperor"

Yeah they're too busy deep frying ice cream and coca cola

>neoliberalism
wat does this even mean

Look it up faggot, does this look like /spoonfeeding/ to you

No, I'm saying what does this even mean anymore
I had a friend on facebook rant about neoliberalism when talking about PC culture
I see people on this site claim neoliberalism started with Clinton
And you're saying Reagan started neoliberalism
Is neoliberalism another nonsense buzzword?

The defeat of the Fronde ensured that France would always be a centralized tyrannical shithole and that every single intermediary institution between the individual and the State would be destroyed for the sake of concentration of power in the hands of the central authority.

Even the Revolution was merely a consequence of that.

neoliberalism is essentially proper liberalism integrated into globalisation, so its main focus is always economic, although it's also associated with military intervention etc...
all you need to know is it's derived from true liberalism but has been slightly corrupted

Third republic was where it finally went into its death spiral

That looks delicious. I don't know what the problem is.

>he's Never eaten a deep fried spider
Cmon now.

Neoliberalism means neoliberalism, there is a fully established definition of what it means. Anybody who uses the term outside of its defined meaning is a fucking idiot and not worth talking to, which unfortunately means at least half of everyone on this site.

Probably 1919, with the failure of socialism outside that shithole of the former Russian Empire

This is true.

Directly empowering the bourgeoisie through privatization, low corporate taxes, and other initiatives at the expense of the majority.

dems frogs legs

I don't think France bought into the neoliberalism meme though

Never had them. They sound delicious. What do they taste like? Chicken? Chicken wings?

This.

Centralization is like the French national fetish or something. They do it even when doing so is against their own interests, like how they handled their Syrian Mandate after World War I

You could almost argue that Louis XIV was "too effective" an administrator. The legacy of centralization he left and the isolation of the court from public life at Versailles could not be juggled effectively by his successors and the Revolution was its final result.
