Has to be done in the right way. Our Revolution was remarkable in it’s civility for the most part and resulted in the best country known to man. The French literally had washer-women ripping soldiers limb from limb and a government even more tyrannical than the king they overthrew. Even the “good guys” fighting against the new government in the Vendee were known to slaughter prisoners on occasion.

What is the right way? Both sides in the Vendee were utterly murderous. One royalist, one republican.

By the way, BEFORE the revolution, what would happen to someone who openly defied the King and called for his removal? You would be auto-dead.
I guess it’s rough to get back the same medicine you give out.
