It's always blackpilling seeing you incels call Robespierre a subhuman for looking like an average man.

The French Revolution seen as a conflict between the Underman and the Overman remains the only valid analysis.

Sit down.
Be humble.

1. The Revolutionary Tribunal was not a show-trial. The outcome of trials was not predetermined and only around 60% of those accused were found guilty.

2. Georges Danton actually was guilty of co-operation with the British government, based on some British primary sources.

3. The royal family was actively plotting with the enemies of France to overthrow the revolutionary French government.

4. After the Thermidorian reaction, the resulting white terror was just as bloody as the revolutionary terror, and the victims were far more likely to be from amongst "ordinary, low people."

5. Robespierre and Saint-Just were not dictators. They were aware of the threat of personal dictatorship (of the emergence of a popular strongman, like ultimately happened with Napoleon) and consciously refused to go down that path. They were committed to republicanism and instead of simply eliminating all opposition through terror, they thought that they could defend their government with passionate speeches in the National Convention - a naivety which actually contributed to their downfall.

It's all irrelevant. The only thing that matters is power. If the king has the power he is right. If the Revolutionaries have the power they are right. If Napoleon has the power he is right. And if the coalition has the power it is right. Power is it's own excuse, it permits and legitimizes everything.

One think you'll notice about every noxious political idea is that it ultimately amounts to a petulant "Fuck you, dad." The notion is always that, instead of longing for a world where men are good enough to use their authority wisely, we can simply retreat into a dream where there somehow is no authority. Whether you call it revolutionary republicanism or feminism, it's the same impulse behind the act.
