Robespierre is on his way to Hell


On his way, Robesy meets the one person he doesn't want to see: Marat, who obviously is in ~*~The Elysean Fields~*~ because he was nice.


his sainthood is slowly evolving from Patron des Sans-Culottes to Thermidorian Idol Of The Freedom Of Press/Speech Against Evil Robespierre


put into Marat's, but especially Desmoulins', and even Robespierre's mouths the words, ideas and principles copy/pasted from the "social, economical and political program of the Journal Populaire" (oh surprise: the first pamphlet comes out of the Printers... of the Journal Populaire) that "the Convention should really adopt and then All The Problems Would Be Solved And Peace And Freedom Would Be Brought Back To The Galaxy France"


"Marat wasn't good enough either as a popular leader"


Magic everywhere up in this bitch.

Your lack of sleep is showing bb. And trust me, it's fucking boiling here in Chicago. I would have loved to pull a Marat and said "Fuck this shit. It's too hot to go to school."
