Folks, you can't one day call for the #FrenchRevolution and the next be big mad #Trump quoted #Napoleon to state he was a dictator.
The French Revolution started in 1789 and ended in 1799 when Napoleon named himself dictator.
The French Revolution ended in a fucking dictatorship not ten years later.
Your calls for the #guillotine are based in either a lack of historical knowledge, inability to do basic arithmetic or both.

Well, Philip, I have long been calling for the right measure, the #TarpeianRock punishment for traitors of the Republic.

Alas, no-one listened to me and now, America's biggest enemies can probably be heard laughing on Mars, while its erstwhile allies are crying out in pain.

@HistoPol I'm fine with that for people who get due process. Or, rather, I'm ok with it, lol. I'm not a Death Penalty Guy though Trump and Musk (and Thiel and Miller and Bannon et al) are tempting me. LOL.
The problem with the French Rev is there was no due process and thousands of innocent people faced the guillotine. Perhaps 15,000 or more commoners were executed.

Definitely true.
"I'm not a Death Penalty Guy"
Me neither. Not at all.
But it would have been the only way to prevent tgr 1933 #AmericaFirstParty's playbook (if they hadn't been utterly guided by German chief spy #Viereck) being realized through the #HeritageFoundations #Project2025.
Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, will die before their time again, b/c in "output" terms similar to tRump's legions of premature #Covid19 deaths in 2020/21.

...the #US' standing abroad. Says Keith Ives, a Marine veteran who...has a small Denver-area nonprofit:
"He looks at the U.S. breaking partnerships and contracts in what had been #USAID’s six-decade aim of boosting national security by building alliances and crowding out adversaries.
For the U.S. now, “I think for years to come, when we try to flex, I think people are going to go, ‘Yeah, but like,...

I will say it again, 👉tRump has proved to be the most successful mole in history beating Nazi-handled #Viereck in the 1940s by far.👈
The #TarpeianRock punishment would have been the only way to prevent the #US' demise as a superpower. Now, it is too late for that. The #HeritageFoundation's #MAGA stormtroopers are already in the...

I agree with you re/ your violence statement. Re/ insurgents and the the like ilk with ample popular support, however, tge #CapitalPunishment is the only solution in exceptional circumstances. (This is also why Putin eliminated #Nawalny.

@HistoPol or perhaps killing Citizens United. Or imprisoning Manafort well before the 2016 election as his crimes demanded.
I'm not against violence but if history teaches only one universal truth its that violence begets violence.
Or to take Colin Powell's* thinking domestic violence is the failure of laws.
*I'm not a big Powell fan but he was the last Republican I had a shred of respect for and I'm pretty sure he died a Democrat.

It enabled the oligarch takeover of the US. Now, they are now trying the same thing in #Canada and #Europe. 2)
Furthermore, the #US might find itself in #UK type "splendid isolation" pretty soon. Several #EU analysts have interpreted #JDVance's speech at the #MSC last Friday as a probable beginning of the end of #NATO.
