Your entire post is irrelevant.
What is happening is NOT a revolution, just like the Chinese Cultural “Revolution” was not a revolution.
In America, as in China, the population is NOT revolting against the government. The people are NOT seeking to change the government.
The government is revolting against the people. As Mao did against his people. The government is seeking to change the people. There is NOTHING organic about the ongoing destruction of America. It comes from above the people.
It is quite discouraging how clueless our side is. We are more interested in counting angels on a pinhead than in seeing things for what they are. And so many do their clueless thing in a condescending way, speaking down instead of engaging the actual point.
What you fail to understand is that the situation in France WAS in fact similar to in China. In fact, their “dechristianization program” during that time literally IS the Cultural Revolution’s predecessor, right down to smashing historical monuments and “secularizing” the nation by rewriting history, right down to adopting a wholly new calendar. And just as an FYI, I don’t deny that what is going on in America is anything like the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It most certainly is like that, just like it was similar to Lenin’s revolution, pretty much every Marxist revolution since Lenin (and yes, that ESPECIALLY includes Communist China), all of it. Heck, the Jacobins’ actions with Vendee WAS by definition the government revolting against the people (or at least, the closest France HAD to an actual government). And even Mao advocated for the people when he wasn’t in charge. Let’s not forget he coined the term “people’s revolution” and “peasant’s revolution.”
And for the record, Abbe Barruel literally commentated on the actions of the Jacobins and the Philosophes of the Enlightenment, condemned them, with even the likes of Edmund Burke agreeing with him, so his statements are far from irrelevant. Same goes for Timothy Dwight, who was the headmaster of Yale around the time Napoleon met his end.
