The French Revolution was ultimately a bourgeois revolution that signalled the transfer of power from aristocrats to capitalists. It's fine to enjoy the aesthetics of it but we will have to go further than the French did.

I'd love to see humanity collectively rise up and tell the wealthy and powerful where to stick it, but it's important to remember that some small group of dickheads have been vying for control and domination of everyone else at some point for pretty much the entire existence of humanity. This is merely just the next iteration of that.

But it'd be fucking rad if we could finally break that cycle.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
