      If they’re red fash I’ll be worried, but if they’re just going Reign of Terror or Paris Commune or Anarchist Catalonia, I’ll accept my execution with good grace.

        The reign of terror french were pretty proto-red-fash tbch, people don’t exactly consider very often WHY it was where the fiercest resistance to this lang d’oil region centered uprising was concentrated in regions like the basque country, bretton country, and the lang d’oc regions. It wasn’t that they yearned for royalist ideals to be reinstated, it was because Robespierre and his even crazier backers were so paranoid by the end that something like movements for language rights were treated as exactly as traitorous as plotting to restore the bourbons to the throne with a counter purge to boot.

        Something the modern revolution idealizing french seem to have made fully into one of their “the quiet part” policies with how they implement their version of laïcité.

        Maybe authoritarians dragging you from your home to execute you is a little different from WW2. I do see some similarities tho, the Nazis would drag you from your home for not being far right enough.

        I think maybe, just maybe, mayyyyybe, a political movement mass murdering the folks they consider ideologically impure might be bad.

        Idk tho, I drink a lotta vodka and whiskey, so my utter contempt, disgust, and loathing for murderous ideologues might be a mere ghost. Perhaps I’ll wake up sober tomorrow and decide slaughtering people because they don’t kiss my preferably-colored boot sloppily enough is actually really based, who knows
