>The Drownings at Nantes (French: Noyades de Nantes) were a series of mass executions by drowning during the Reign of Terror in Nantes, France, that occurred between November 1793 and February 1794. During this period, anyone arrested and jailed for not consistently supporting the Revolution, or suspected of being a royalist sympathizer, especially Catholic priests and nuns, was cast into the Loire and drowned on the orders of Jean-Baptiste Carrier, the representative-on-mission in Nantes. Before the murders ceased, as many as four thousand or more people, including innocent families with women and children, died in what Carrier himself called "the national bathtub".[1]
Why are the French so barbaric?

>The camps had originally been set up by the British Army as "refugee camps" to provide refuge for civilian families who had been forced to abandon their homes for whatever reason related to the war. However, when Kitchener took over in late 1900, he introduced new tactics in an attempt to break the guerrilla campaign and the influx of civilians grew dramatically as a result. Disease and starvation killed thousands.[62][additional citation(s) needed] Kitchener initiated plans to
flush out guerrillas in a series of systematic drives, organised like a sporting shoot, with success defined in a weekly 'bag' of killed, captured and wounded, and to sweep the country bare of everything that could give sustenance to the guerrillas, including women and children ... It was the clearance of civilians—uprooting a whole nation—that would come to dominate the last phase of the war.
Why are the British so barbaric?

>"the national bathtub"
lol i like it
we also named the guillotine "the national shaver"
Sebastian Kelly
This is what the mainstream ideologues are refering to when they talk about "Our values" which "go back to the French Revolution", by the way.
Jonathan Cooper
Was enslaving peasants less barbaric?
Didnt do enough.
Ian Johnson
Yes, long live the French revolution, Liberty, fraternity, and.equality.
Grayson Nelson
And it didn't kill enough reactionaries, that's why the congress of Vienna happened and we're not colonising Mars now. All royal families of Europe should have met madame guillotine.
Jeremiah Johnson
French Revolution kinda reminds me of Russian Revolution to be honest
Alexander Ward
French revolution was an actual revolution of whites and fir whites liberty, soviet not so much.
Every single king and noble needs to be executed.
Camden Wilson
>Every single king and noble needs to be executed.
That was kind of the point of Russian revolution
Connor Wright
Bentley Mitchell
No, Russian revolution was Marxist and Bolshevik and counter to everything the French revolution stood for.
Andrew Perry
>hur dur le 0.00001%
Napoleon didnt give a fuck about niggers or sand niggers only liberating Europe, Jews were rich and nobles in feudalism none of them eere peasant slaves.
Leo Myers
Why are Republicans so edgy?
>liberating Europe
By expropriations, forced enlistment and turning it into a collection of French puppet states?
Henry Bennett
Russian Revolution was about liberty of the workers and peasants
Joseph Foster
It could say whatever the fuck it wanted, the people had no liberty, Communism is slavery.
Isaiah Jones
Really? I always thought communism was about the common ownership of the means of production
Cameron White
We were literally trying a new paradigm of human society.

> Egyptians, some will say that I have come to destroy your religion; this is a lie, do not believe it! Tell them that I have come to restore your rights and to punish the usurpers; that I respect, more than do the Mamluks, God, his prophet Muhammad and the glorious Qur'an... we are true Muslims. Are we not the one who has destroyed the Pope who preached war against Muslims? Did we not destroy the Knights of Malta, because these fanatics believed that God wanted them to make war against the Muslims?
t. Napoleon Bonaparte
Daniel Bennett
The Bolsheviks monopolized the economy, dominated the peasants, and forced labor on them and making them subjects of another, slavery and feudalism.
Napoleon liberated the peasants, gave the peasants free will and freedom economically and socially from others.
Noah Phillips
I might be wrong, but didn't Napoleon crown himself Emperor, thus betraying the ideals of the Revolution?
Wyatt Ward
French Revolution = Freeson from being subjects of another, self sovreignty
Russian Revolution = Non Freedom, subjects of the new nobility.
Thomas Butler
That had to do with his power not what he did with his power, liberating the people from feudal parasites.
Carter Gonzalez
>liberating the people from feudal parasites.
like himself?
Lucas Ward
Napoleon was a military general that brought much wealth to the country, not a parasite.
Jordan Morales
And where do you think he got that wealth from?
Jason Kelly
From parasitic nobility and kings?
From steering trade to France.
Gavin Reed
France is actually the first and will be the last communist country on earth.
It kind of worked for so long because of the quality of french people (despite the memes), and it's going to fall under all this multiculturalism bullshit.
Jacob Thompson
>brought much wealth to the country,
by robbing other countries
David Brooks
No, from mutual trading whst France lacks fir what another lacks.
Gavin Martin
wtf vive le roi now
Aaron Miller
Except that's not what they're talking about at all, as the excesses of the revolution are pretty widely condemned and consistently portrayed in negative terms. It's the Enlightenment values that the revolution initially represented and began to spread throughout Europe, with few people claiming it lived up to these ideals or that it wasn't flawed in its execution of them. But whatever fits your narrative.
Easton Brooks
Nah, our revolution was much more brutal.
>At Odessa the Cheka tied White officers to planks and slowly fed them into furnaces or tanks of boiling water; in Kharkiv, scalpings and hand-flayings were commonplace: the skin was peeled off victims' hands to produce "gloves"; the Voronezh Cheka rolled naked people around in barrels studded internally with nails; victims were crucified or stoned to death at Dnipropetrovsk; the Cheka at Kremenchuk impaled members of the clergy and buried alive rebelling peasants; in Orel, water was poured on naked prisoners bound in the winter streets until they became living ice statues; in Kiev, Chinese Cheka detachments placed rats in iron tubes sealed at one end with wire netting and the other placed against the body of a prisoner, with the tubes being heated until the rats gnawed through the victim's body in an effort to escape.[29]
Kevin Brown
>From parasitic nobility and kings?
You mean his relatives that he placed on various thrones around Europe?
>steering trade to France.
France was under blockade from the Royal Navy during all of his reign, I sincerely doubt that this made French trade flourish
Colton Wright
No one in power embodies Enlightenment values such as freedom, rights of man and such, they want to dominate and remove the rights of man.
Lincoln Nguyen
French trade with the continent.
Luis Watson
Those people were enstalled in anti revolutionary areas with too strong royalist sympathies, the beain washing of the catholics enslaved many and got them to fight their liberstor for their oppressor.
Ryder Fisher
I don't disagree. I'm just saying that such Enlightenment values are the ones that they're at least ostensibly promoting and that those values are what's meant when the French Revolution is invoked, rather than the executions of the Terror.
Brayden Campbell
>land transport in Europe before the railroad being even capable of equating a tiny fraction of the sea traffic at the time
There is a reason Russia fucked off from the continental system lad
Adam Parker
They corrupt the French revolution, the revolution is about freedom from another.
