The wave of violence struck Paris with little notice. The massacres were so great, us royals were forced to flee in hopes we might stay safe. So much we give to these lowly peasants and yet all they want is more. A limited monarchy was not enough, they need more. They are greedy. They will not stop until the entire stability of the country is stricken away. They will not cease to rebel until the King himself is without power. And what is this country without our King? A society filled with filth and classlessness. Royalty is the backbone of our nation; how can they not see this? And now, by order of the Legislative assembly, France is led by a revolutionary Commune. How does this tastelessness, this disrespect towards our King remain so prevalent? For all I shall care, let these people eat cake!
Jacobin (J. Bernard-Sasges) Unbelievable! These nobles truly think they are generous people? Us in the Third estate have paid all of the taxes for longer than anyone can remember. We are sick and tired of this nonsense and we are making a stand. The time has come for these soulless nobles to pay for their ignorance and arrogance. And leave it to a member of the nobility to use a word like classlessness! In the spirit of Patriotism for my country, I fight for liberté, égalité, et fraternité!
ReplyDeleteWorking woman (Lauren Chapski) Open your eyes! The upper class has been disrespected and belittled for to long. I work harder than the king himself, however I hardly have money to buy food! I don't get to throw lavish parties, take days off or even vote. I just work all the time! The only thing the nobles and King have given me is more taxes. So to answer your question, a society without a King is a society I want to live in. Of course Paris will endure its fair share of hardships throughout the Revolution, such as the September Massacres, but by the end it will all be worth it.
