like always, it considerately exagerates Robespierre's personnel power and responsabilities : Robespierre was just one member among twelve, of the Committee of Public Safety, in theory the government of revolutionnary France, but who had his power limited by the Committee of General Security, that was the police department. Both of the committees had to answer for their actions to the National Convention (the parliament) every week, and each member had to get confirmed by the National Convention each month to keep his position. Robespierre was not a dictator, as he had too little personnal power : he had no personnal armed troops, no political party at his orders, and no bureaucracy either : all of his decisions had to be approved by the 11 other members of the Committee, so none of the decisions he made, or the death sentences he signed, were personnal delusions

Yeah, Infographics, were the Carmelite sisters who were kicked out of their convent the part of the "Church" that oppressed and killed people? I'll answer it for you. No, they weren't.
Not really, it was more likely the thermidoriens who accused Robespierre of killing jacobin and radical members such as Danton which eventually led to the fall of Robespierre… and despite what the propaganda tells us, the thermidoriens weren’t moderated but during the 9th thermidor, they started being moderate… but even after the death of Robespierre, the gu*llotine was more used
@@galatheumbreon6862Thanks for asking. The Jacobian fanatics of the French Revolution considered “religious life” as a destructive kind of theft of resources from the peasants. Many (especially Catholic) members of the French clergy were beheaded. At almost the end of the Reign of Terror, 16 members of Carmelite Nuns and novitiates were brought to the Guillotine and murdered. The French Revolution is a stunning example of hatred against religion by atheists, and where it can lead. Communism was to follow the same path, in numerous Countries.

two ideas you speak in last minute are the same : liberty and Fredoom are synonimous. The 3 Virtues of French Revolution are liberty, equality, Fraternity (liberté , equalité, fraternité)
Okay infographics, but you also forgot to include that Robespierre was the 1700s guy with glasses meme....Am I the only one who missed that at the time?
The Reign of Terror, commonly called The Terror (French: la Terreur), was a period of the French Revolution when, following the creation of the First Republic, a series of massacres and numerous public executions took place in response to revolutionary fervour, anticlerical sentiment, as well as accusations of treason by the Committee of Public Safety. There is disagreement among historians over when exactly "the Terror" began. Some consider it to have begun only in 1793, giving the date as either 5 September,[1] June[2] or March, when the Revolutionary Tribunal came into existence. Others, however, cite the earlier time of the September Massacres in 1792, or even July 1789, when the first killing of the revolution occurred.[a] The term of "Terror" to describe the period was introduced by the Thermidorian Reaction who took power after the fall of Maximilien Robespierre in July 1794,[1][2] to discredit Robespierre and justify their actions.[3] Today there is consensus amongst historians that the exceptional revolutionary measures continued after the death of Robespierre, now called the period of "White Terror".[4] By then, 16,594 official death sentences had been dispensed throughout France since June 1793, of which 2,639 were in Paris alone;[2][5] and an additional 10,000 died in prison, without trial, or under both of these circumstances.
Didn't Robespierre himself say something about the need for both 'virtue' and 'terror'? If so I guess he wouldn't have felt particularly discredited (in my view he does a pretty fine job of discrediting himself with that one, and of course with the things he did)
Seems like the direction North America is heading towards if not already partially there except with a more metaphorical execution instead of a literal one at the moment
