        christians thought that left-handedness was “sinister” and associated to the devil, so they made it illegal.

        Edit: i know it sounds like a joke, but it is not. this is not the onion. that’s the actual reason.

    I’ve never seen a more spot on meme. Though the “can’t get through the day without a shit ton of drugs” one has probably never changed.

    Are you kidding? … it was the great old days for Straight White Christian Men … they were free to be completely racist aholes, treat women like slaves, have as many children as they wanted and not take care of any of them, have the world at their feet, make a ton of money just for being who they were and they were accountable to no one.

    The reason why the past was so great for a small segment of society was that it was so shitty for 99% of rest of the world
