The New Jacobin Elite.

Barack Obama: A latter-day Camille Desmoulins? Discuss.

Also discuss if the author stopped to employ earth logic at any point while writing this.

...Foremost among these was Louis Phillipe II, the fabulously wealthy and infamously degenerate Duc d’Orleans, who hated King Louis XVI (his cousin) and hated even more Queen consort Marie Antoinette (for rebuffing his sexual advances and causing his banishment from court). Joining him were other titled men of considerable pelf (and, usually, libertine habits), to wit: the Duc de Biron, the Marquis de Sillery, the Vicomte de Noailles, the Baron “Anacharsis” de Cloots, the Comte de Mirabeau, the Marquis de St. Huruge, the Vicomte de Segur, and the infamously perverse Marquis de Sade (from whom we derive the adjective “sadistic”)...

And THAT, is where I stopped reading. :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Or took a very long pause before continuing. -_-

I would note that I'm personally tired of people not knowing how to write "Saint-Just". Because of them, I miswrote his name in that gorgeous icon I have, and I obviously no longer have the base to correct it. :(

Anyway, vain self-interests aside: this thing is crap. Must it really be discussed? I think it sounds more insane than the usual crap I would discuss: like, say, Artarit on Robespierre's psychosexual freudian transexual gender desires-to-menstruate issues, etc. But this, it really goes beyond all debatable logic. At this point, I think committing the author would be the best solution.

And bonus points to this part: Thus were the orgies of bloodletting accompanied by appeals to the Jacobins’ new environmental theology: “Perish forever the memory of the priests! Perish forever Christian superstition! Long live the sublime religion of Nature!” ...Oh dear.

And, um, yeah, I will abstrain from commenting on Desmoulins the "handsome young lawyer with oratorical skills".

Re: name, if it helps, from what I've seen his own signature was 'St Just'? - I just assume the variants were more interchangeable at the time.

Correct writing

[(Anonymous)]

exactly, he himself signed St Just. It seems to me that the - version is rather a correct writing according to today's French standards, not the only correct writing of that period.

I needed to share the trauma/hilarity with others. D: It was the only way to resist slamming my head against the computer desk until comatose.

Oh, yes, you're right: you're entirely entitled to share that drama/trauma/horror/hilarity massively. D: I should post more nonsense on this comm. XD;
