    They could barely agree on how words were spelled back then.

      turns out codifying one single spelling for an incredibly diverse language and forcing all of its speakers to stick to it was slightly more difficult than founding a new genre of government

      (edit this was meant to be a funny silly little comment not biting satire so you all can stop dogpiling me now you make this website miserable)

          “Democracy did not start in the US.”

          hello you are literally shoving words in my mouth. i said i like pancakes and you said “oh so you hate waffles?” stop it.

          i never said democracy started in the US. the US was the first country to adopt a federal constitutional republic, thank you very much. 😪😪😪
