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.
Come on you don’t need to go that far.
You can love the guillotine without liking the French.
Hey, the French are still more willing to fuck shit up in the name of correcting their government than the US is.
The bar is too low.
You could make a religion out of this!

France in general does a lot of things right. Their whole open source movement is amazing! Just take a look at https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome and their tools like https://cryptpad.fr/
And politically as well though I can’t pinpoint it to an exact article. Just the general vibe I got from them and the decisions I saw.
Are we more civilized now than in the 1700?! I bet 1700 french wouldn’t let this go
We need Robespierre and Danton memes asap.
