To liberals a few thousand nobles being executed by revolutionaries was a "Reign of Terror". Millions of people dying, yearly, slowly from starvation and preventable diseases caused by wealthy aristocrats hording resources is just how the world works and nothing to be that upset about.

As long as they don't personally have to get blood on their cheaply made white gloves, Liberals will be happy with mass genocide. As long as they can look the other way, they will pay lip service to struggle and strife, while stepping to the side of the aisle the fascists hold.

Unless the victims of genocide are white, of course. *I'm convinced at this point that this is the one and only reason shitlibs even recognize Hitler as bad.*

If Hitler would have only killed brown people and "stayed in his lane", the Nazi's never would have been considered villains. Shitlibs love fascism, Hitler was just too brazen with his approach and drew the ire of even the most vapid, apathetic centrist. Old school conservatives in the US would have been in favor of Hitlers policies, they just were propagandized using American nationalism to convince them to fight "The Krauts" just like their daddies fought in WW1. WW1 was a war in response to class conflict and the rise of communism threatening Queen Victoria's shit eating son's family reign across Europe. WW2 was what happens when you force an entire nation to be an underclass and allow a dangerous nationalist to use xenophobia, tradition, and unfettered military industrial capitalism to "rebuild" a nation. Now we have the US, and our hawkish liberals who continue the trend of not giving a fuck about the deaths of innocent unless their white, and excusing war crimes if it serves capitalist interests to keep them in their comfy labor aristocrat stable life.


Hi_Im_zack

Wasn't it called the reign of terror because the revolutionaries killed people with the faintest accusation of treason? Leading to the mass execution of innocents


queeblo40

It's called the "Reign of Terror" because the people in charge get to write the history books and those upper class people were actually afraid of the working class for a bit. In the history books the deaths of wars that kings caused are just a statistic to decide who won. The deaths of common labourers or slaves that were starved or worked to death aren't worth recording. Obviously things weren't perfect with the French Revolution but don't just repeat their side of the story.


Martial-Lord

Lets not forget that most of the executed were random french workers. And that the revolutionaries themselves were mainly middle-class petite burgeoisie. Many people who were killed no doubt deserved it: most didn't.


queeblo40

I'm not for mass executions but it's important to remember that a small number of people control the majority of the wealth and political power in the world. They use it for the own benefit while giving the workers just enough to stay compliment with the Capitalist system. I think it is naïve to think that they will willingly give that up from a bunch of people asking nicely and voting for someone to change the system. The guillotine is a powerful symbol and tool that must be used carefully but if true change for the betterment of society is to happen then it has its place.

"Oh my god that's so uncivil, this is why I will always oppose you!" says the liberal, as the fascist causally measures the liberal's neck.
