That you would willfully identify with The Most Murderous core of libertarians anarchists of the French Revolution speaks volumes of your ignorance and unhinged mindset.
Your presence here actually threatens respectable members of this forum because you identify with notorious domestic mob terrorists that killed 250,000 fellow citizens in a multi-year reign of terror.
You may as well name yourself Pol Pot.

I am requesting that you be removed from FR for our credibility and future existence of this forum.

Harm no one and remain isolated until you expire.

“Throughout the year of Jacobin rule, it was the *sans-culottes who kept them in power. But the price of that support was the blood-letting.

The number of death sentences in Paris was 2,639, while the total number during the Terror in the whole of France (including Paris) was *16,594. With the exception of Paris (where many of the more important prisoners were transferred to appear before the Revolutionary Tribunal) most of the executions were carried out in regions of revolt such as the Vendée, Lyon and Marseilles. There were wide regional variations. Because on the whole the Jacobins were meticulous in maintaining a legal structure for the Terror clear records exist for official death sentences. But many more people were murdered without formal sentences imposed in a court of law. Some died in overcrowded and unsanitary prisons awaiting trial, while others died in the civil wars and federalist revolts, their deaths unrecorded. The historian Jean-Clément Martin, suggests that *up to 250,000 insurgents and 200,000 republicans met their deaths in the Vendée, a war which lasted from 1793-96 in which both sides suffered appalling atrocities.”

I probably should not have chosen the screen name of Sans-Culotte, because most think it merely means “without pants” Actually, it is French for “without knee breeches”, and refers to the most revolutionary part of the Paris Mob during the French Revolution. The “Sans-Culottes” eschewed the tight-fitting knee-breeches of the aristocracy and opted for loose (usually striped with the French tri-colors) trousers. They are generally depicted with a “phrygian” cap (sort of like a loose stocking cap) on their heads with a tricolor cockade on it. Some even had the words “Mort du Tyrans” tattooed on their chests! If you’ve ever seen the classic MGM Ronald Colman film of “A Tale of Two Cities” (or any version for that matter), the Sans-Cullottes are the radicals which includes the DeFarges who are clamoring “off with their heads”.

I chose the name during the reign of the tyrannical Clintons because I thought it had a revolutionary firebrand sound to it. I didn’t think about the fact that not everyone reads as much about the era of the French Revolution and the Age of Napoleon as I do, so I suppose people must think I am some sort of nudist who goes about without pants!
