Actually fun fact: she never actually said "Let them eat cake". It's BS.

She said "Let them eat brioche". ("Qu'ils mangent de la brioche.")

Fun fact 2: she never said this anyway. It's a total myth. It's a quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

(Don't believe me? Google it and get back to me if I'm wrong.) It was wrongly attributed to her. It's like all those quotes misattributed to Einstein you see on memes all the time.

School lied to you all lol. (Wouldn't be the first time lol.)

Sorry to be that guy lol. But I care about truth.

TL;DR: It's total bullshit, sorry.

Also you wrote "media" twice oops. (At least you spelled "foment" right, so you get points lol.)

Look it up and if I'm wrong I'll buy you a beer lol.

So TL;DR: You're actually right. She never did say it. It's a myth that far too many people still believe.

I know. I was mostly making a point about our media. I just thought the comparison was funny.

Fair enough. Our media is shit, I agree. And people believe so many conspiracy theories I can't keep up lol.

The "let them eat cake" myth is still fun to look in to tbf. Even I learnt that at school. They lied to me.

I probably learned it in school too, but my opinion of the American public education system isn’t much better than my opinion of our media.
