Most of the people tried and executed were the nobility who had raped and pillaged France for ever. The Revolution that exterminated them was justified

Such a revolution is going to be necessary to save America from Progressive Tyrants

There is no law at present

The people that were left in France to become Jacobins were descendents of the mobs that had, with bloodbaths of their own, driven the Huguenots from France.

No, not in the sense of equal, blind justice. Most people haven’t yet realized that we now have only the illusion of law and justice.

I think that the statistics show that the majority of the victims of the Reign of Terror were from the Third Estate, not the nobility. You could be punished for not showing enough support for the Revolution. A lot of the nobles fled the country when they saw how things were trending.

Atticus Finch is fictitious but in To Kill a Mockingbird he is defending someone who is clearly innocent of what he is being accused of.

The only ones who raped and pillaged France were the likes of Voltaire, Rousseau, and the Marquis de Sade (and Sade, while of noble origin, sided with and even helped deliberately instigate the Jacobins by lying about Bastille. Bastille Day was literally founded on a lie by the guy who invented Sadism). Read Operation Parricide or especially Timothy Dwight’s 1799 sermon about the French Revolution, and you’d realize it. One of the biggest lies was against Marie Antoinette (she if anything was the type to give HER cake to the starving masses, not say let them eat cake. It was a lie written by Rousseau.). The only thing the nobility was guilty of was being feckless in actually trying to STOP Voltaire before he poisoned so many people’s minds.

And such a revolution WON’T be necessary to save America from them (and BTW, said Progressive Tyrants if anything are direct descendants of the Jacobins in terms of ideology). If anything, the only thing that will be necessary would be something akin to the American War of Independence.

Nope.

Most were middle or lower class who did not mouth support for the absolute lunacy that was happening. Or more accurately they were accused of not supporting the "revolution".

Mostly they just had something that someone else wanted. Like a goat. A wife. A pretty son.
