Alright, I'm boning up on the French Revolution. My present understanding of this vital event in human history is at a quite embarrassing American meathead level. And I want to do better. Aside from the obvious recommendations (Simon Schama's CITIZENS, Christopher Hibbert, Georges Lefebvre), does anybody have any good book recommendations on the subject? Thanks in advance!

#Toodles are another manifestation of this #vigilantejustice — misusing #ReplyGuy when one is merely "annoyed" rather than harassed, #tonePolicing, and otherwise going on a daily rampage to fragment the #fediverse.

Even people who went #virtueSignaling on #UnitedHealthCare CEO went silent on #Mangione after reading the room.

Would #FrenchRevolution have happened with Toodles?

#NoKingsDay #washington #DC 2025-02-17 in a #bigbrother 1984 #orwellian #digital #dictatorship, no one would see anything of this #protests, all the big media conglomerates, search engines would censor it :( question: why did those peaceful protesters not try to turn over the gov and storm congress? (just asking, probably because they are intelligent unlike the january 6 rioters)

BUT if #Trump and #republicans keep ignoring LEGITIMATE grievances of #citizens like higher and higher #food and #fuel prices = imho companies using #inflation as excuse to increase prices without transparency = #corruption of the #middleman: when is #DOGE gonna investigate that???

u gonna have a violent #civilwar like #riot at your hand Mr #TrumpRegime

because #citizens then have nothing to lose and the #FrenchRevolution did not go well for the #King

#Trump + #Elonmusk START FOCUSING ON THE PROBLEMS OF THE #POOR + #ECONOMY NOW! with smart new ideas of #finance

or face dire catastrophic #disaster #consequences

Today in Labor History February 12, 1889: Antonín Dvořák's Jakobín premiered at the National Theater in Prague. The three-act opera was one of Dvořák's peasant operas. Marie Červinková-Riegrová wrote the libretto, based on the story "At the Ducal Court," by Alois Jirásek. In the story, the Count disowns his son, Bohuš, for his alleged ties with the French Revolutionaries known as Jacobins.
