The French Revolution? The system where everyone even slightly suspected of not being loyal to the resistance was executed summarily for spectacle, up to and including its own leader? That's the thing you're going to put your name on and say "if people really cared about freedom, they'd support this"?

Can somebody please remind me why I still use Lemmy?

Think you're confusing the French Revolution (violent uprising of the French against their aristocratic rulers during the Enlightenment) with the French Resistance (Underground movement during WW2 that resisted Nazi occupation)
