I'm sorry, I think it's terrible for people to think positively of the French Revolution, even just a little bit.  The fact that a popular left wing rag is called Jacobin is shameful.  

What revolutions do you think are ok?

The American Revolution, as an example, where the point wasn't to execute citizens, rather to fight soldiers.  

Do you think it's perfectly acceptable to execute citizens, men, women and children?  And if you studied the French Revolution, you'll know that the reign of terror quickly spread to the same peasants and bourgeoisie who led the initial bloodshed.  See Robespierre, Maximilien.

In the absence of legal recourse of taking advantage of other citizens of a lower class once other means have been satisfactorily exhausted I wholeheartedly would support a violent overthrow and reorganization.

Um okay, non-sequitur.  What are you saying then, because of these douchebags we should start executing other citizens?  I'm not following the logic. 

Citizens are already being executed.  It's already started.

So you're all about that?  Eye for eye?  Are they being executed like in a Soviet Gulag?  Is it more like a Nazi deathcamp?  Or are we seeing it in the public square like the French Revolution? Where does it start, where does it stop?  Are you actually thinking through what you are supporting here, because this feels like a Breitbart conversation.  

Much more like an Obama FEMA camp or death panel.

Jade Helm actually murdered thousands...so there's that. 

In all those Underground, interconnected abandoned Wal Marts, right? That’s why there’s no bodies.

Many people are saying that trump paid $750 more than Amazon in taxes, but that’s just smart business.

Good for the stockholders too

I don't defend either.  But remember, with Trump we are talking about his personal income taxes, not how much a particular business paid.  These are two separate things.  And in neither case do I think Bezos or Trump should be executed.

Voting has failed us
The courts have failed us
The police have failed us
Peaceful protesting has failed us

Now it's just a matter of who gets to decide where and when it stops.  





"Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying. The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, and what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves.

"Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusetts? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honorably conducted? I say nothing of it’s motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness.

"God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.

"We have had 13. states independent 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?

"Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."
