The age of enlightenment was a good thing. The church losing its power was a good thing. The rise of secularism was a good thing.

>>18100422>>18100423Why is this even controversial, it's just true
>>18100424Because los masones o algo
>>18100422The French revolution was unreasonable. France was already changing under Bourbons. If anything, killing the king slowed down the natural course of development.
>>18100422>mass slaughtering >all for nothing with the instant installment of Nappy as king-in-all-but-nameThe frogs really proved themselves to be subhumans hiding beneath a veneer of civility with that shit. >b-b-b-but the coalitionsWere in response to those frog niggers invading the fucking Netherlands of all places, the only other true Republic on the continent. As an amerimutt with DvtchBvll semen running through my veins I can never figure the frogs for that
>>18100424Some chuds say it was bad because Marat had spiteful mutant physiognomy
The church dun did already fucked up by 1000. Everyone was kind of holding their breath for 300 years until they got wrecked by fleas. Then there was nothing holding back the average joe from calling the crown illegitimate. Protestantism was an attempt to save Christianity from itself and hopefully salvage civilization at the same time. Since of course the only legitimacy of the nobility came from the church
>>18100748>Were in response to those frog niggers invading the fucking Netherlands of all places, the only other true Republic on the continent>NAPOLEON: You're with Britain. You've betrayed me! You brought him here to kill me.>HOLLAND: No Napoleon, I swear..>BRITAIN: Let her go Napoleon>NAPOLEON: What have you and she been up to?>BRITAIN: Let her go..>NAPOLEON releases his grip on the unconscious HOLLAND and she crumbles to the ground>NAPOLEON: YOU turned her against me!>BRITAIN: You have done that yourself.>NAPOLEON: You will not take her from me!>NAPOLEON throws off his cloak.>BRITAIN: Your anger and lust for power have already done that.>BRITAIN flings off his cloak.>BRITAIN: (continuing) You have allowed the Revolution to twist your mind until now . . . until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy.>They circle each other until BRITAIN is near HOLLAND. He places his hand on her.>NAPOLEON: Don't lecture me, Britain. I see through the lies of the Ancien Regime. I do not fear the Enlightenment as you do. I have brought peace, justice, freedom, and security to my new Empire.>BRITAIN: Your new empire?>NAPOLEON: Don't make me kill you.>BRITAIN: Napoleon, my allegiance is to the the Constitution of the United Kingdom ... to parliamentary democracy.>NAPOLEON: If you're not with me, then you're my enemy!>BRITAIN: Only a tyrant deals in absolutes, I will do what I must.>*unsheathes sabre*>NAPOLEON: You will try..
>>18100695This, the french society was already kinda liberal before the revolution, everyone was sick of the Church and jansenism (crypto calvinism) was extremely popular among the elites and even the clergy, the whole society wanted change and was frustraded, this frustration was famously expressed by authors like Sade and artists like Francois Boucher and even by Louis XV having affairs with countless mistresses. If it wasn't for the urgency of the financial crisis the revolution would for sure not have been so brutal.
>>18100422This. More rights for more people is a good thing. Retaining the freedom of religion without its intrusion into secular life is a good thing. What’s funny to be is all the men and women of faith who hate secularism because they think it’s an attack on their beliefs don’t see that secularism is the greatest protection they’ll ever have in the temporal realm save for the hand of God himself.>>18100805Better than the original.
>>18100422more people died in the french revolution alone than in all catholic inquisitions combined for hundreds of years
>>18100953france was also the most bloated catholic state
*thud*
>>18100422One of the coolest things about the French revolution is how the members of the committee all became the most ardent turbochuds after a taste of true left wing ideals :).
>>18100424The enlightenment makes brown. catholics seethe. They'd rather have everyone be illiterate slaves working for the church like they're ancestors were 500 years ago.
>>18100422Every platonist should be brutually tortured especially their hands, legs and teeth until he can't manufacture anything. When thrown behind bars, everything about the key to their barren cell should be vividly discussed with them until the idea is drilled to the platonist. But there should be no key made specifically so that only the platonist can think it to existence from the realm of ideas to the realm of forms. The moment the platonist specifically thinks the key into existence, he should be freed. The guards use different mechanism kept hidden from the platonist, if he tries to escape that way gets raped to death by jeets. If he uses sophistry at any instance, such as arguing against nature, his food and water is to be taken away so that he may argue with his nature of starving himself
>>18100805This is the kind of post that keeps me coming here
>>18100748The Netherlands was a monarchy then. And the place the French invaded after they repulsed the first attempts by the Coalition to overthrow the Republic was the *Austrian* Netherlands = Belgium, not the country called the Netherlands
>>18101053they're basically british people
>>18101058or the other way around
>>18101053They fucked with Austria first only Big Willy V was Stadtholder
Dutch speak a different language, their basicly a different race
>>18100424It's not controversial it's literally what all white children are taught in school
>*betrays you*Nothing personal, kid. It's just good business.>*disappears with all of your money and collaborates with the new regime to start the grift over again*Too easy kid, why don't you go back to the Salons and your little "debate" circuits those were more your speed.
enlightenment was good, american revolution was good, catholicvcks losing influence was good, secularism was good, hell even nationalism was good The french revolution was gigareddit and we've been suffering for its kikery and betrayal of enlightment values ever since, piss be upon those proto-commies
>>18101505"Enlightenment values" are nothing but masonic kikery. Secularism was the birth of globohomo faggotry.
>>18101018And now you live like a slave under a gay jewish "Enlightenment" order.
>>18100897Revisionist horseshit. The Church was as strong as ever, jasenism was waning, and De Sade was an outlier. The Revolution was triggered by merchants jealous of the status of the nobles and the church and influence from European and English masonry. The revolution never even enjoyed much popular support.
>>18101534I'm still mad about the public sale of porn. The jews killed the king because he had an *uncircumcised* dick so large queen stacy couldn't handle it so the entirety of Europe had to send experts on family matters just to comprehend his etat miniature. Meanwhile the man himself was too busy reading books. Honestly his only flaw was that he didn't genocide the lawyers and merchants. >Imagine a templar style shakedown and execution of every mason, jacobin and Huguenot
>No, it is not.
>>18100422If you think that then you should also recognize the influence that Pope Paul VI's papacy had in accelerating secularism. His implementation of the Novus Ordo made the church lose a lot more power over society.Here's a quote from Archbishop Lefebvre whom Pope Benedict XVI once said was "the most important bishop of the 20th century with regard to the universal Church.”: >“How could a successor of Peter have caused in so short a time more damage to the Church than the Revolution of 1789?... the deepest and most excessive in Her history… what no heresiarch has ever succeeded in doing?... Do we really have a pope or an intruder sitting on the Chair of Peter?”
Bmp
>>18101018The enlightment was brown*
>>18100422>Actually, being ruled by psychotic bourgeois intelligentsia who want to sacrifice children to moloch is a GOOD thing!No.
