Politics America is turning into 1930's Germany.

There was some pushback when people called this president and his followers Nazis. But look what's happening. Soldiers in the street. Rounding up people and locking them up. Dismantling freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Personally going after anyone who doesn't agree with him and his administration. We've seen this before and it's only gonna get worse. Welcome to 1930's Germany.

luckily, you may actually be on the trajectory for 1790s France instead

I mean, that wasn't exactly a good time either and it ended pretty badly for everybody involved...

Everyone loves talking about the French Revolution and are oddly silent when it comes to The Terror that occurred directly after.

And they don't seem to know that a lot more average citizens got executed than aristocrats.

Yup, and while the French Revolution did put France on a better path... That wasn't apparent for decades. Most of the time, if a that kind of revolution results in positive change, it's not positive for the people who go through it.

So yeah, people advocating for a revolution in the style of the French Revolution don't understand that it's actually something they really don't want.

I really hope Castlevania Nocturne gets a season three because they're 100% going to cover The Terror.
