McDonalds and the French ... Revolution?

            Let me explain why McDonalds caused the French Revolution.  In 1789 the People of France overthrew the Monarchy of France in hopes that they would become much like their brethren in America and become Free. I wrote a paper on the causes of the Revolution, but one of the chief ideas that I focused on was that McDonalds cause the French Revolution.

            Have I lost you yet reader? No? Good. Ok so in the Political world there is a theory: Two countries that have McDonalds restaurants will not war with each other. So far this is a true statement, and I don’t see it being broken anytime soon. A little proof: Afghanistan didn’t have McDonalds, Iraq didn’t have McDonalds, and Kuwait does. See! We helped Kuwait and invaded Iraq twice. By the way, Afghanistan has Burger Kings. I guess Burger King doesn’t give a shit, they’ll hire any one (see my first blog) and they’ll open shop anywhere.

            Ok so the reason that this theory is true is because if your country has a McDonalds then you have a pretty sizeable middle and upper class. The middle class more specifically are the ones that stand to lose the most during war. Why? They’re generally the buying power of a nation, they buy the most crap in a countries economy.. The more crap you have, the more you care about crap. See how that works? So if you have a McDonalds you have a healthy Middle class/upper class. They hate war etc.

            So what happened around 1789 is that people (mainly the bourgeoisie) had more crap, so they cared more about crap and when the King wanted their crap they got mad and said ”Go fuck yourself king! We’re keeping our crap!” ~Actual quote from a farmer~ and proceeded to overthrow his ass and stormed the Bastille!

So you see, McDonalds caused the French Revolution kids.
