Only Idealists Try To Build The Future On A Mountain of Dead

"White people have no culture" is such a fascinating insult to me because it kind of implies that the person making the insult is so enmeshed in white (american) culture that they have become completely unable to recognize it as something other communities do not do, forest for the trees-style; and has never bothered to expand that perspective.

That Robespierre still has his defenders even today is... not surprising, but definitely disappointing.

(ooc: you're quoting thermidorian propaganda against him. He was neither a leader nor in charge of the terror—the white terror killed more than the supposed reign of terror before it. He was just well known and was used as a scapegoat by people that had blood on their hands. I recommend expanding your horizons beyond anglo historians that were always hostile to the revolution.)

I hope you could read a bit more about the subject.... Sorry but it seems that you just heard about some propaganda and trusted it. Like said @le-vieux-cordelier, I REALLY, REALLY recommend you to expand a bit more your knowledge about the french revolution and Robespierre and not to limit your reading and research only to the ideas of biased historians. Maybe he did wrong choices, but it does not only stop to that mistakes, Robespierre is actually a really interesting character. Not telling you to become a " defender " of him, but just to know him better because Robespierre does not only limit by his mistakes. Now, in the moment you read enough about him but you still think he was totally wrong.... Well, i'll not agree with you but that YOUR opinion : i can't judge your opinion.
