Daily reminder that almost all of the modern world's problems stem from the French Revolution and this man
>"Hur dur, due process is for pansies and it's OK to go around chopping of the heads of people who don't pledge undying support for my regime"
Louis XVI did nothing wrong.
>>419616
> Louis XVI did nothing wrong.
He did support thirteen colonies though, he clearly deserved everything.
Before Robespierre people were being executed daily by the Commune based on nothing but disparaging press articles, while the country was descending into total chaos of both civil and foreign war with no economy or revenue to speak of. Robespierre restored order and likely saved France.
>Louis XVI did nothing wrong.
Louis XVI did everything wrong, but I don’t see what that has to do with Robespierre who only came to power after Louis had been executed.
>>419643
>Robespierre restored order and likely saved France.
By killing people left and right
>>419655
and louis xvi gave away french military positions, securing the deaths of french soldiers.
>>419655
terror is the emanation of virtue, bruh
>>419616
I have great sympathy for a man that executed counter-revolutionaries and traitors.
>it's a bad idea to execute people supporting and funding emigre armies who literally said they would slaughter any man, woman or child who did not submit on their knees to a foreign army intent on imposing a bourbon king
>implying the Revolution wasn't bound to happen one way or another
>implying it wasn't the direct result of bureaucratic centralization
>implying any singular event or individual is to blame for the social and political disorder inherent in modernity and its egalitarian drive
Bitch please
>>419711
I'm sure all those nuns and priests they slaughtered were just waiting for a chance to rise up and kill them :^)

>Implying this can be justified
>>419787
They were refusing to obey the Civil Constitution of the Clergy.
They were also Christian.
>>419787
Oh, absolutely justified, gotta spill blood to displace the bloodiest church
The french revolution ended the feudal system in France, and in most Europa after the Napoleonic era.
the Code Napoleon was in place for common folk, and the church and nobility would never again enjoy the privileges it had under the Ancien Regime.
>>419796
>These non-violent nuns refused to swear an oath to the state over their church!
>We gotta chop their heads off! That'll show them

Imagine, if you will, that someone breaks into your house and kills you, but assures you it's only in order to carry out the greater good. I doubt you'd hold this opinion then.
>>419616
THANK YOU BURKE
>>419808
It did show them.
>Imagine, if you will, that someone breaks into your house and kills you, but assures you it's only in order to carry out the greater good. I doubt you'd hold this opinion then.
Imagine if you will that you are part of an institution that had persecuted the whole of Europe for centuries.
>>419808
Well it's a bit of a difficult situation, but I suppose I would have done the same for them, after all. No hard feelings, except for the dying part.
>>419814
>Imagine if you will that you are part of an institution that had persecuted the whole of Europe for centuries.
I'm not a Mason
Also, never forget that this wonton killing of priests turned the public against them. And lead to the terrorists being given a taste of their own medicine. It's a shame, I wish the leaders of the terror could have been killed a thousand times for every death they cause.
>>419835
So what are you crying about?
>>419838
The deaths of the innocent.
>>419810
>no absolvement via the blood of innocent
>no Terror as divine punishment
>no Great Chain of Authority
Enlightenment cvckservative pls go
>>419844
They weren't innocent. They were members of the Catholic Church.
>>419858
Under your twisted logic, the Shoah was justified. I'm calling the SPLC
>>419876
The shoah wasn't justified, because those were jews.
papists, on the other hand....

Must be the Catholic's fault. Behead those who insult the Church of Euphoria.

I wouldn't have a problem if their only excuse was that it was fun.
Not a documentary or directly historical film by any means but still relevant and interesting watch.

That's guillotines for you.
>>419961
we never said it was their fault
we merely said that having a go at papists is a-ok
>>419655
Compared to Napoleon, Robespierre hardly killed anyone
>>419616
You could make the same argument for the the Roman Catholic Church creating a Schism with the Orthodox.
>>419616
>Louis XVI did nothing wrong.
He sure did.
He gave the American revolutionaries almost the entire state treasury, which was a huge mistake.

Except those murders were condemned by the Committee of Public Safety, and Robespierre--Robespierre, mind you--is the one who immediately recalled Carrier once he heard about the butchery. Robespierre is the one who wanted Carrier put on trial for his crimes. It was Carrier's friends in the Commitee who saved his ass, though they couldn't forever.
Of course, you're jumping right to the exceptional murders and instances and ignoring that a statistical majority of the people executed during the terror *were* engaging in counter-revolutionary, and therefore dangerous to the new government and the innocent French citizens who would be killed in an invasion, activity. Don't want to get executed? Don't fund a fucking foreign army.
Louis meant well, its a shame he was a retard who didnt keep his wife on a tight leash, not to mention listening to both Calonne and Necker

Wasnt his passion clocks?
Define due process, OP.
>/his/ is not hysterical and acknowledges the good sides of the French Revolution and Robespierre
>/his/ defends the French peoples government against foreign aristocrat invaders
>/his/ despises the backward Catholic Church
Stay based I love this board
Was he the original gommunist or what?
>>419810
THANK YOU BURKE
>>422805
Right? It's like everything /pol/ wishes it could be. Instead those cvcks are over there sharing "horror stories" about women in the workplace, denouncing race mixing and shilling for Trump with every ounce of strength they can muster
>>422899
Dubs confirm truth
Other things I love about this board:
>defends the Civil War was about slavery
>shits on Rhodesia and South Africa
>shits on the third Reich and Holocaust denial
>has a much more level view of Soviet history that isn't LOL STALIN IS NUTS LOL
>demands sources for all reports
Its like an intellectual bizarro /pol/ just like you say. And of course this is the third Robespierre thread I've seen and everyone is like
>Robespierre was actually a prettt based dude
>implying he killed as many people as Napoleon or the Bourbon and their allies
>implying democracy doesn't require at times bloody participation
Fuck this is like a dream come true. Yeah I'm a lefty but I love how even Conservatives on this board are generally speaking useful knowledge and not some feels>realz Evola or postmodernshit
>>419643
This.
The tree of freedom and revolution needs to be watered with the blood of etc, etc.

Back to /pol/ Tbh senpai baka :^)
>waah waah the birth of the modern world was too mean!
>>419616
Literally did nothing wrong though.
>>422847
Pretty sure his ideals were actually the same ones that created modern capitalism as we know it.
>>422942
I think most conservatives here are actual reactionaries and not crypto-fascist syncretic retards adoring people like Evola. I mean I might be wrong, but that seems to be my impression.

Secession was over slavery, the Civil War was about whether or not the union would reunify. It's that easy.
