  1. Oh, and you delete comments critical of your positions. No discussion or defense? You ARE who Corday rebelled against, Marat…
    Don't care if it's the robot or not. Your channel, your sanction, Messieur Marat.

  2. Starts at 4:40. It's confusing to have a video about X that goes on for minutes not talking about X. Compare the Sacred Symbols playstation podcast, and The China Show west-china relations podcast. The first has unrelated talk at the beginning, the latter has at the end, but they're both very clear about this, and they also introduce themselves and their podcast.
    By the way, everyone talks about the french revolution, but what happened after?
    the french, especially the anti-insanity people (assuming they existed), had to respond somehow.
    1:04:45 RL mentions how france's national identification with military prevented them from holding the army's mistakes. He specifically says this was seen as an attack on france's national identity. Interesting psychology here. This also happens with the american wokes.

  3. @33:09 you show that you’ve not been in Texas long enough. Texans would meet in a football stadium, and the proceedings would be accompanied by tailgate meals and open refreshment stands. Everyone could eat, sit, hear the speakers, use the restrooms… come on. When do we meet? 😄

  4. I agree with Rudyard that the Fronde should have been won by the nobility and parliament.

    But I must also say, I fantasize of what would have been if Louis the 14th had been a Military Genius like Napoleon.

  5. Day 2 of asking for an 80 year wars video, as it covers the invention of capitalism and the creation of the first Western European republic that is a major power and is also an early example of nationalism

  6. Colombian reactionary writer Nicolás Gómez Dávila (I think he is mostly untranslated into English) wrote that there hasn't been any real change since the French Revolution. The thing people regularly confuse for change is actually moving faster and faster in the same direction, not a change of direction.

  7. I enjoy learning about French history in detail from foreign channels because they are less biased or provide a different point of view. For example, here in France, anything related to the monarchy or the post-monarchy period is somewhat taboo and frowned upon by the state. During the Revolution, the Vendéans revolted against the Republic, it was a bloodbath ending into a genocide. Yet, this event is barely studied, despite being more violent and extensive than the roundup of Jews during World War II (an event we constantly revisit to emphasize how terrible it was).

    Two years ago, a historical movie was made about a hero of the Vendéan revolt. It was a successful film, although pro-government and leftist media completely criticized and attempted to censor it.
