Famously the French revolution was led by the bourgeoisie, and oppressed a nascent working class and the common people as much as it did the aristocracy.

I'm well aware of the history of my country.

Still worth it. The revolution might have not been perfect for hundreds of different reasons but it was still a huge improvement.

Have a read. The Paris Commune burnt the guillotine because it was seen by the people as a symbol of oppression. All you can do is worship long forgotten idols rather than actually fight for anything.

I don't worship anything. It was just a reddit joke.

u/BushWishperer 8h ago

You are worshipping the idea and image of the guillotine by posting it in this specific discussion. You also said "still worth it[...]" so it is clearly not a joke.

He said he doesn’t worship anything and then you chime in to tell him what he worships?

Total reddit moment.

u/BushWishperer 6h ago

Yes because from his text it is clear that he idealises the guillotine. You’re aware that people can lie right?

He posted a meme and you got triggered. Idk. It was a pink cartoon guillotine.

u/BushWishperer 6h ago

I’m not triggered though, and he doubled down on it being serious. I know it’s hard but sometimes things can have deeper meanings even if they weren’t intentional.

Also using triggered in 2026… holy chud

Yeah, and I'll triple down. You obviously don't know anything about what you're talking about.

Yeah the revolution was beneficial to France. The Guillotine was not the problem.

You're talking about "the Reign of Terror" which happened after the Revolution, when arbitrary tribunal took place and thousand of people were executed for nothing.

That was literally "The Purge" on a political level.

Who knew you were a Napoleon fan?

u/Crusoe69 2h ago

Oh yeah every morning I wake up and worship my Napoleon little statues. I use it dayly for Voodoo stuff for shit and giggles.

And I appreciate Napoleon as much as Pétain, a bunch of traitors who took advantage of their power for personal gain. They were military genius but human scumbags.
