When the people revolt against their tyrants…

Louis XVI: “Is this a revolt?”
Duke of Rochefoucauld-Liancourt: “No, sir, it’s a revolution.”

Nice quote you got there. I had been learning about this in history class.
The French Revolution was nothing like ours in America. Ours wasn’t even a revolution. Ours was a war to prevent a revolution. We had always governed ourselves. The British meant to change that. The French Revolution was a godless mob action that led to the Terror and right back to monarchy and then to a dictatorship. The French people may have been fighting a tyrant but they were tyrants themselves.
The French revolution is not something to admire.
Gosh I’m seeing that you got a so good opinion of France like 90% of anglo-saxon people…
I never said that the French Revolution was something to admire even our republic that we got today is shitty but i took that revolution ‘cose it’s the most famous that’s all.
I don’t share DogTags black-and-white view, but I wouldn’t say 90% of anglo’s have a not-so-good opinion of France. Yes, the loud ones in America seem to be the extremists (on both sides), but they CAN’T be 90%. Saying that, I have no “hard evidence” to back me up, other than people I know in my own life…
I know that they are no 90% but it’s an image..
