Stupid hamsters
Throw all three of them into the oven
Robespierre is a genius lol
Meanwhile:
The fact that Robespierre is smarter than einstein is wholesome lmao .. well he was indeed a very smart man and very well educated so kinda .. fact? But idk .. is just funny that's all i think about
I was just scrolling down on some random website for fun and the name of robespierre stopped me lol ..
the link if you wanna see it:

Here are some other Frev rankings
Rousseau got all the brains lol
IQ is ONLY the result of the WAIS test. There is NO WAY to evaluate the IQ of dead people, because IQ is precisely about intelligence criteria coined, singled out and evaluated by the test in question. Also, the IQ test is - normally and legitimaly - based on neurotypical functioning of the brain, and, even though that is something I'm saying without any proof, it seems to me that Robespierre particularly presents strong neuroatypical signs, which almost always mathematically lowers the IQ (again, IQ only evaluates IQ, it is not entirely synonymous to intelligence, only an indicator). So all of this is completely meaningless. The only thing scientists could do is tell you that all of these people had an IQ above 120, most of them certainly above 130 (superior to very superior intelligence quotient) - that's pretty much it. And even saying that, we have no way of knowing if the result(s) would have been homogenous or heterogenous, which changes everything in the way it is interpreted.
Yeah, it's not correct in any way, shape or form.
Who would cope best with being exiled to Saint Helena?
Napoleon (this answer is objectively wrong)
Dinuzulu kaCetshwayo (this answer is objectively correct)
Robespierre
Danton
Saint Just
Talleyrand (this is actually even more wrong than the napoleon answer, fun fact)
Fouché
Hérault de Séchelles (this is actually even more wrong than saying talleyrand)
Marie Antoinette as a wild card (this is even more wrong than Hérault de…)
Collot d’Herbois
Billaud de Varenne
Camille Desmoulins (this is even more wrong than Marie Antoinette!)
Here’s my newest unbiased poll! It’s totally not populated by people I thought of at the top of my head. Anyway,
…the same faction (the girondins) which in France wanted to reduce all the poor to the condition of helots, and submit the people to the aristocratic rule of the rich, wanted in an instant to free and arm all the Negroes to destroy our colonies.
Robespierre in Rapport sur la situation politique de la république, read at the Convention on November 17 1793
Thoughts?
It demonstrates Robespierre's point in my eyes : he was committed, but never enough, always pursuing the politics of the 'middle ground.' Here, it's the same thing. He’s not like Barnave; he wants to abolish slavery but it seems that he is against the idea of arming the Black people and their revolt in Saint Domingue (unlike people like Marat and Chaumette, who fully support the insurrection). Unless it's just a way to 'undermine' the Girondins like Sonthonax (although Sonthonax's distribution of weapons to former slaves happened later, if I'm not mistaken)
At this point I wonder if he even wanted to abolish slavery, given the following part of his notes against the dantonists (March 1794):
Danton said to me one day: “It is annoying that one cannot propose to hand over our colonies to the Americans; this would be a mean to forge an alliance with them.” Danton and Lacroix have since [then] made a decree pass whose probable result was the ruin of our colonies.
The decree Robespierre is talking about here is abolition of slavery, put forward by Delacroix and supported by Danton on February 4 1794:
Lacroix, d’Eure et Loir: in working on the constitution of the French People, we did not focus our attention on the unfortunate men of color. Posterity will have a great reproach to make of us in this regard; but we must right this wrong. Needless to say, we decreed that no feudal rights would be levied in the French Republic. You have just heard one of our colleagues say that there are still slaves in our colonies. It is time to rise to the height of the principles of liberty and equality. Although we might say that we do not recognize slaves in France, is it not true that men of color are slaves in our colonies? Let us proclaim the freedom of colored men. By carrying out this act of justice, you give a great example to the enslaved men of color in the English and Spanish colonies. The colored men, like us, wanted to break their chains; we have broken ours; we did not want to submit to the yoke of any master, let us grant them the same benefit.
Levasseur: If it were possible to put before the eyes of the Convention the heartbreaking picture of the evils of slavery, I would make it shudder at the aristocracy exercised in our colonies by a few whites.
Lacroix: President, do not allow the Convention to dishonor itself by a longer discussion.
The Assembly rises by acclamation.
The president pronounces the abolition of slavery, amid applause and cries repeated a thousand times, long live the Republic! long live the Convention! long live the Mountain!
The two colored deputies are at the rostroom, they embrace each other. (applause). Lacroix leads them to the president, who gives them a fraternal kiss. They are successively embraced by all the deputies.
[…]
Danton: Representatives of the French people, until now, we have only decreed freedom as egoists and for ourselves alone. But today we proclaim universal freedom to the face of the universe, and future generations will find their glory in this decree. Yesterday, when the President gave the fraternal kiss to the colored deputies, I saw the moment when the Convention was to decree the freedom of our brothers. The session was too small. The Convention has just done its duty. But after having granted the benefit of freedom, we must be, so to speak, its moderators. Let us refer to the Committees of Public Safety and the Colonies, to combine the means of making this decree useful to humanity, without any danger for it. We had dishonored our glory by truncating our work. The great principles developed by the virtuous Las-Casas had been misunderstood. We work for future generations. Let's get it started, freedom in the colonies; Today the Englishman died. (applause) By throwing freedom into the New World, it will bear abundant fruit there, it will grow deep roots. In vain will Pitt and his accomplices, through political considerations, try to crush the enjoyment of this benefit. They will be dragged into nothingness. France will regain the rank and influence provided by its energy, its soil and its population. We ourselves will enjoy our generosity, but we will not extend beyond the limits of wisdom. We will destroy the tyrants as we crushed the perfidious men who wanted to reverse the Revolution. Let us not waste our energy, let us launch our frigates, let us be sure of the blessings of the universe and of posterity, and let us decree the referral of the measures to the examination of the Committees.
Some debates occur relating to the drafting of the decree. Lacroix proposes one which is adopted in these terms:
The National Convention declares the slavery of Negroes abolished in all colonies; consequently it decrees that all men, without distinction of color, domiciled with all the rights assured by the constitution.
Referred to the Committee of Public Safety to report immediately on the measures to be taken for the execution of this decree.
The meeting adjourned at half past five.
this is such a huge L for Robespierre. how do you come off as significantly morally worse than Corruption McEmbezzlement
Who in the Frev/Napoleonic Era would you trust* with a death note?
Robespierre (cool it with the Black Book jokes)
Saint-just (cool it with the Archangel of Terror/Shinigami jokes)
Camille Desmoulins
Danton (Trust?)
Hérault de Séchelles
Fouché (why?!)
Talleyrand (WHY?!)
Napoleon Bonaparte (HELLO?!)
Marie Antoinette (wild card)
Murat (not to be confused with…)
Marat (see? Separate human being.)
Other (tell me!!!!)
If you don’t know, a death note is a magic notebook and if you write someone’s name in it, they die. You can also control them before death if you wanna have fun!
*Define “trust” how you want. “Trust” them to use it well? “Trust” them to not use it at all? “Trust” them to do something funny? Define your terms at your comfort level.
New spiciest frev slander just dropped: the revolutionaries weren’t hot enough and they were mad about it
Hérault’s ghost would like to have a word.
This is Danton, Mirabeau, and Marat’s fault
bonsoir citoyens of tumblr dot com the website and app . rage over the good omens bastille scene once again consumes me So i ' m gonna bitch about it :3
disclaimer : yes i Know its not this serious But that won ' t stop me
i would wish death on my worst enemies however i would NOT wish being trapped in a room with someone who watched marie antoinette (2006) once and thinks they’re an expert on her on my worst enemies. i’m not that cruel
The difference from Robespierre and Napoleon in innocent rogue, compared to the real life people they’re based off of is astounding.
I don't want to sound too harsh, but Innocent Rouge is probably the worse piece of media inspired by the French Revolution I have ever experienced. Story-wise I don't know what's worse between this and AC Unity.
Lucile Desmoulins would have fit right in on tumblr dot com
RIP to all the lost Tumblrinas who missed out on social media fame by dying two centuries before it was invented
