Hi there Kashiwagi. The Inquisition would like to have a chat with you about some of your opinions.
Also, you seem to be a bit behind on your tithes.
They only want themselves to be the trans-human supermen, the rest of us will be the slaves or worse.

It is missing a lot of steps. some of which are illogical and not directly flow from A to B
I don't entirely agree with this one.

It's out of order, it tries to connect things that do not inherently lead into each other, and is generally a hot mess.
I don't entirely agree with this one.
If you're going to protest against something, at least try to do it coherently.
Were in the brothers Grachi phase we have at least 80 or so more years of this shit.
Good news though the guys who don't die of old age are going to have a REAL bad time.
It's also entirely historically inaccurate.
I don't entirely agree with this one.
It's placing the French Revolution as the origin point, the smallest domino. However, there's two things that came before it as somehow coming after it, that is Freedom of Religion and the American Revolution.
Freedom of Religion is the oldest of those concepts, having been a foundational value of the English colonies of Pennsylvania and Maryland, as well as institutionalized in the Netherlands even before you saw extensive British colonization of North America, as anyone familiar with the story of the Pilgrims knows.
Of course, the American Revolution and its ideals and writings predate the French Revolution. I'm honestly not sure why, but this is a REALLY common thing for Europeans to mix up, I've encountered multiple non-Americans who seem to think that the American Revolution post-dated and was inspired by the French Revolution, rather than the other way around. I suspect it's a form of Euro-centrism, they don't want to acknowledge that many of the ideas of modern western democracy originated in England and America (backwaters to the Continentals) and so just... reverse the order in their heads to fit what their hearts tell them the right order should be. Even those AGAINST the modern western democratic order, as the creators of that meme are, mess it up.
Thing is, any honest analysis of the American and French Revolutions actually quickly reveals that while the French was arguably partially caused by (not intellectually, but economically) the American, and while they did share some ideals in common, the French Revolution and American Revolution actually came from two very different philosophical schools. The American Revolution, coming out of the Scottish Enlightenment while also still being heavily influenced by traditional English Protestant Christianity and the Christian understanding of human imperfection, was in many respects a very "conservative" Revolution, in that it acknowledged the limitations of a Revolution to build a perfect world and while it sought to IMPROVE on what came before, it didn't seek to overthrow it entirely (in fact, one can make an argument that the original goal of the American Revolution was to PREVENT a change to the status quo...), nor did it expect or attempt to create a utopia. You can see this in how colonial governments basically kept their pre-Revolutionary structure almost entirely, just swapping a governor appointed by the King for a locally elected one, as well as the structure of the later American Constitution built entirely around checks and balances between power while having, what amounted to, an elected King as the head of government thus keeping the Executive and Legislative branches separate unlike what later developed in Parliamentary systems.
Meanwhile the French Revolution, being founded more in Continental Enlightenment Philosophy and truly being about overthrowing an existing order and being highly rejective of Christian morality and philosophy due to how closely aligned the Catholic Church was with the French Monarchy ended up being both humanist, materialistic, and utopian... with all the negatives that ends up entailing...
Funny,but still true.
And then led to the reign of Napoleon
No,they do not belive in leftist shit.They use leftists as useful idiots,which turn humanity into cattle working for them and unable to even think about rebelion.
Of course,when that happen and leftists would be no useful anymore....

Well the reign of Napoleon was a good thing. It’s a shame that Jacobin radicals and atheists had their reign of terror. But Napoleon was a better monarch than Louis that is undeniably.

As far as I’m concerned, Napoleon is the only reason anything of value was salvaged from the French Revolution.
True,but progressives learned from that.Both soviets and Mao keep army down to pretend any would-be-Napoleon from saving their country - and they succed.
Pity,any general would be better then Mao or Sralin.
Which group…?
