@cmconseils 1789 France didn’t end that well.
Then again, 1945 Germany is also not a very pleasant prospect.
@js @cmconseils Those who want 1939 Germany will also get October 16, 1946
Edit: fixed typo in the year

@goedelchen @cmconseils Oppenheimer resigns from Los Alamos? MacArthur and Hirohito cozy up? The North Korean Communist Party is founded? Göring’s corpse is consecrated as gender-neutral public toilet?

@js @cmconseils For Göring it was October 15.
Ribbentrop, Keitel, Jodel etc. stopped being Nazis with the rather convincing help of a noose.

@cmconseils Joseph-Ignace Guillotin heeft daar een heel vernuftig apparaat voor uitgevonden.

@cmconseils They want 1839 America. They want a white class that sips tea on the porch while everyone else does the labor. But this time, they want it with the help of automated slave patrols, a Palantir-powered nationwide panopticon, and no pesky constitution.

@cmconseils you don't know how French Revolution ended, don't you?
@Gehennam @cmconseils a change in management.

"1789 France didn’t end that well"
That depends on your POV. If you didn't like the streets having dead people lying around (from starvation) then it was probably ok.

@gsymon @cmconseils now there’s a rabbithole…
The Terror wasn’t that far down the road (lined with–), nor was the counterrevolution, the Napoleon power grab (lined with–), the postnapoleonic restoration (lined with–), the ensuing French-Prussian wars, Great War, WW2 (all lined with–).

@cmconseils Trump's second MAGA administration was partisan coup of the US.
I expect this will end the way Vichy France ended. The big names, if they flee or hide well, will get trials. The others, not so much.

@cmconseils That's evocative, but not going to happen, I feel.
I was thinking about it right a few weeks ago. A similar repression, in an european country like France, would have raised total civil war. Not ordered disagreement, really war.
I suspect that the american response, of the average citizen, is something like "oh, let's see, I have my job, I earn money, I'm middle class, all this stuff doesn't affect me. It will be gone in a few months, I keep on living quietly..." -

@Gehennam @cmconseils They took the choice for 2265 UFP off the table. The rest is revenge. With a slight hope to turn things in a slightly different direction after the guillotines.

It's hard to evaluate the final consequences of anything that happens in history, because history doesn't end, it just keeps going.
However, France is considerably better placed, in terms of political sentiment, to fight tyranny now than a lot of countries who never cut off their own king's head.
