M&B Shenanigans: Robespierre is "a patriot"?
It has become apparent to be that many trolls have begun to put the word 'Brony' in their name, and then they proceed to blurt out random balderdash as to enrage others and most likely create a bad name for us.
'Twas on the 84e Siege Server, where there was a player by the name of "Brony_Warrior", I believe.
There were alot of French-speaking...french people on the server today, which led him to say "Stupid french atheists". I was rather bored, so I decided to humor him by asking him why he thought so. He said the French were atheists because of the French Revolution.
It was true that under Maximilian Robespierre, religion was abolished, along with a bunch of other crazy things, such as changing the entire calendar and date/time system of France. I proceeded to say that the revolution was mainly to overthrow the monarchy, and that Robespierre was a lunatic. He replied to this by saying "He was a patriot."
Wut?
Saying that Robespierre is a patriot, is like calling Joseph Stalin a patriot. They both murdered hundreds, even thousands of their own people based on little evidence and most of the time mere suspicion. Stalin and Robespierre were both very paranoid, especially toward the end of their reigns.
I don't know, please tell me I'm not the only one that thinks Robespierre isn't a 'Patriot of the People'?
