Just to confirm - your position is that the French revolution "failed"?
Who is legally the king of France now anyways?

Re: Meanwhile in Australia
indeed, the Jacobins themselves were killed by their own mobs
then there was a counterrevolution, people took to the streets to demand that the monarchy be reinstated
then Napoleon Bonaparte seized power and crowned himself the new Emperor
the French Republic that exists now was actually imposed by the British Crown, after defeating Napoleon at Waterloo
the Jacobins & Bonaparte were utterly defeated, the British Empire became the Global Hegemon on the wake
it took France a century to recover, and even when it did, they became a client state of the British Empire
finally, France had to be rescued from the Germans by America, France becoming an American client therein

Re: Meanwhile in Australia
You've already admitted, there is no winning strategy, there is only capitulation, but as you sit in your idyllic backwoods wonderland contemplating your retirement, there are younger men who still have lives ahead of them, and they will act in the only way they can: violence. What did you think they were going to do?Smitty-48 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 6:25 amno, they are socialist thugs
so that's the face of the Antivax
socialists thugs rioting in the streets
good luck with that I guess, but I don't think it's a winning strategy /shrugs

Re: Meanwhile in Australia
really, the only successful model was the American War of Independence
but that was not unruly mobs legislating lunacy from the streets, quite the opposite
General Washington brooked no dissent from the ranks, the Founders would have hung rioters from the nearest tree
first thing Washington did upon winning the war was go after the hooligans who refused to pay the whisky tax

violence will simply beget more violence, that's not a strategy, that's just a suicide pact
this is Anomie, the urge to destroy the other is the urge to destroy yourself, which is Satanic nihilism in a nutshell

Quietly holding the center. Resisting the poisons - both mind and body. Raising my kids to be tough and smart.
