Right-wingers have NEVER presented a plausible counterargument to "the French Revolution was inevitable" i.e. always going to happen. Not de Maistre, not Burke, not Tocqueville, not Shapiro, not Peterson. Rather, right-wingers have only responded to it with theological seething as 'original sin' and 'divine right' were real, claims that the Revolution was demonic without questioning who created those demons (or even saying the Bourbon creators of those demons are unconditionally just) and the constant reassertion that it is the duty of the Third Estate to sacrifice unconditionally and listen to the clergy as if the Way of the Cross were another chore.

The last three Bourbon kings utterly consumed the treasure of the Kingdom of France. In under a century from the Wars of the Austrians, Spanish, Seven Years and American War of Independence, the livre was so debased and the taxation burden was shifted to the Third Estate so badly, it is recorded in the Oxford History of the French Revolution:

>Over the century prices rose three times faster than wages. ‘Workmen today’, wrote Jean-Marie Roland, inspector of manufactures in Picardy in 1777 ‘need twice as much money for their subsistence, yet they earn no more than fifty years ago when living was half as cheap.’

The Kingdom of France was a Lostbelt. The monarchy could've cut taxes on the Third Estate, shifted the burden to the First and Second estates or even outright defaulted on the debt entirely, yet it did not. So the question is: "Who had agency in the late Kingdom of France and how could they have acted that there was no French Revolution"?

Give me one non-Satanic, non-money-worshipping reason as to why I should go with any side? They're just Jews and Freemasons across the board. Why should I allow this system to persist, even if it continues under different names in the future? Even if their proposed values change? They still do not care for their fellow man beyond the extent of bureaucracy for the sake of money, and still they do not care for the plight of the faithful. Why should I allow a bunch of orgy-having secular child traffickers trying to oppress me to do anything?

Burke Shapiro and peterstein are all leftwing.
Napoleon and Rossenspierre were right-wing.

The French revolution wasn’t inevitable because it was artificial (astroturfing). There was no reason to revolt let alone for their savage barbarism

That implies a party had the agency to or not to make that artifice. That only delays the question of whether that party was simply acting in their nature or not and therefore could not choose and therefore had no agency.
