Leftist Echo Chamber Reddit Allows Viral Posts Calling for Repeat of French Revolution
Breitbart ^ | 02/19/2025 | Alana Mastrangelo

Leftist echo chamber Reddit is embracing the French revolution in an attempt to resist President Donald Trump. The platform notorious for its censorship of conservatives is allowing posts calling for violent political revolution in the style of the French “Reign of Terror” to spread virally in the early weeks of the Trump administration.

“They want 1939 Germany, let’s give them 1789 France” is popping up all over the platform, with “1789 France” spiking in Google searches and on X Radar, a feature on X that lets users monitor keywords and track conversations.

The reference to the French Revolution describes the time period between 1789 and the late 1790s, and when French citizens “radically altered their political landscape, uprooting centuries-old institutions such as the monarchy and the feudal system,” History.com notes.

“The upheaval was caused by disgust with the French aristocracy and the economic policies of King Louis XVI, who met his death by guillotine, as did his wife Marie Antoinette,” the site adds.

We are already in the midst of a revolution - The MAGA revolution.

Keep safe behind your keyboards, Reddiots, and watch how its done!

Shoot, I like reddit.

More down to earth people than Quora, or so I thought.

I wont use it anymore unless apology is issuedd and that arena shut down.

I bend the rules too much as it is with left leaning companies.

The left does it too, with Chick Fil A lines around the block sometimes in my liberal city.

But I need to cut back on left slanting company usage.

Doesn’t leave a lot of options sometimes :)

Oh, and arrests for people calling for what we know means ending lives.

The left’s quest for peak absurdity never ends.

Like a graph in geometry, they will always get more absurd, but can never reach peak absurdity.

Well, the ruthless radicalism of the modern Progressive Left is frighteningly reminiscent of those wacky Jacobins of the French Revolution so it’s nice to see them finally admitting where they are heading (no pun intended... well -maybe )

If they realized that right now big efforts are being to tear down the Democrat Bastille.
We want less government, more freedom, less oligarchs on the left on the right .
In short we want the America that was formed in 1776. (Obviously minus slavery!)

The one inescapable take-a-way from the French revolution.

The darned thing had no off switch.

Alabama, Georgia and Texas have at very least two times as many guns as both armies of the Civil War.

Now that their Government funding through USAID is cut off, it won’t “pay to play French Revolutionaries”. Let them do so at their own risk. Felonies are expensive and jail time is difficult

...they will always get more absurd.

I present as evidence: the lauding of buttplug & hogg

Now, some reddit is ok -

I go to read 'the Donald' every once in awhile, so it's not all lib insanity.

The French Revolution of 1789 was against a decadent aristocracy and a highly corrupt regime. The radical Left is funded and controlled by the Deep State apparatus, as are some supposedly Rightist groups, e.g., Patriot Front. The second Trump Administration is fighting a decadent entertainment, media, and financial elite and a highly corrupt regime. MAGA is the 2025 American equivalent of the French revolutionaries and the radical Left the 2025 American equivalent to the defenders of the “Ancien Regime”. The freeing of the January 6th prisoners was the modern equivalent of the storming of the Bastille.
