How was the French Revolution suicide or decay for Europe?

Literally jumpstarting republicanism, destruction of tradition.


Republicanism existed two thousand years before the French Revolution, and there were still republics in Europe. In India, the Buddha's kingdom had more in common with an aristocratic republic such as Rome than it did with feudal monarchies. The Roman Empire, which so many traditionalists are eager to recall, would not have existed if it remained under the Etruscan kings, and Carthage was a republic as well.

What do you mean by "tradition?" it might look good in video games, but feudalism wasn't that romantic in real life.

Sort of a simplification.

Basic information on what the path is usually isn't secret in Sufi Orders. Although the higher mysteries and contentions are.

Oh. I thought you were talking about stuff like the Freemasons and Eleusinians and Maenads becoming a thing again.

Yes, I concur that many great powers didn't have a choice in the matter. Once the mobilizations occurred, for most, little else could be done. For this, I am grateful my own country sat the war out. We were able to make a pretty penny from the war and industrialize to an even greater extent. Indeed, it is said that the technology of flight was advanced 30 years. I disagree though, that the cost was worth it. In this case, the blood tithe was just too much for me to stomach.

Not just flight. Code breaking and computation saw their start here (enigma code and Alan Turing). As well as the fields of psychology (move towards conditioning and a scientific method of inquiry in psychology, recording the effects of what was PTSD/shellshock) and medicine (only possible due to the blood profit of war) among others.

In the short, immediate time frame? It was not worth it. Too many lives were lost in the name of God and Country, King and Empire, Profit and Industry. But look at where we are at now. Sure, things may still seem bad and in some areas the situation is simply terrifying. We can say that there is a decay in values. However, we can appreciate the fact that such wars must not happen again, and that society as well as humanity marches on.

For everything we call 'good' can be only contrasted upon something 'evil' or 'bad' in this world. We can only appreciate the good times after weathering the bad times.


This is a good way of looking at the situation. I rather liked a history channel special that came out recently called "the World Wars". It rightly portrayed the thing as really one war rather than two separate wars.

Its the last part of your statement that I find myself agreeing with most. Without the horror, we would not appreciate the good or pleasant so much as we do now.

I am not overly concerned regarding Portugals current Situation. They're a small Nation at the edge of Europe and their Economy is not of relevance. If they keep their stuff steady and smoothly they will master the crisis. Further austerity Programs from Brussels might harm their Economy more than help.

Yes but you are expecting this from a country in Iberia with finances. Being bad with money seems to be a latin world tbh. I for am not so much worried about as I am about this in particular.

Issues in Portugal could easily spill intro France. Given how weak the EU is when it comes to decisive responses, we may be in for a wild ride with Mr.Bones.

I'm not too concerned with Portugal, they've gotten themselves out of debt before, they'll without a doubt do the very same again. The EU needs to keep themselves out of the matter entirely.

Yes, I actually feel rather bad for Portugal because unlike most of the other Eurozone countries, they made a good faith effort to unfuck themselves.

I disagree with you. Not because I disagree with the statement itself but rather because Portugal is hemmed in by the EU's financial issues. Their ability to maneuver is substantially weakened.

At this point, it may be a good option. Their welfare system borrows from the German one from what I have been told. Which is to say, it is fucking retarded and forces you to sell all your shit before you get any help. Forceably impoverishing people and ruining lives. May the name "Peter Hartz" be damned to hell and to history for his cancerous idea.

It was really a wild ride. I think has a greater potential for a market crash than the Brexit vote. Unlike Brexit, I don't think our friends on the continent would see just a "correction".

The EU? Yeah, I don't think it will last another crisis, especially after Brexit; the nation equivalent of the middle-finger.

Off the high horse.

"The Dark Ages and Medieval Times were literally hell" has been a debunked meme for quite some time now. It's alongside College Afrocentrism Club theories in how silly it is.

Now, yes. It was not perfect. Sanitation and diseases were truly awful at the best of times by today's standards. And certain societies had Serfs living in terrible conditions and poverty. Which the Church had always been a fervent opponent to. As were many Kings and permitted Orders that worked for the betterment of workers.

This did change in times of wealth and flourishing of civilization. Of which there were many instances of.

Jesus, just when I thought that shit couldn't get dumber. The goal of unemployment benefits is to help you get from job a to job b without losing your life's work. Its like you country purpose designed a system to destroy the life savings/value of a family if it falls on hard times. The American system may have issues but it isn't even that pants on head retarded.
