Les Misérables

A couple of days ago I made a passing reference to the French Revolution, about how most of the revolutionaries were eventually beheaded by their even-more-radical peers. And I tried to draw an analogy to extremes to which today’s crybullies want to go.

Apparently I’m not the only one thinking about the tumbrels and guillotines of that less-than-glorious time. Columnist Peggy Noonan riffs on how the Terror’s leaders renamed everything and how that feels like the “what are your pronouns” thing and lists of banned words and phrases the SJWs endorse.

Friends, the Francophone wholesale slaughter of 200+ years ago isn’t something we want to revisit on our sunlit shores. Cool it.
