Like Voltaire, but decidedly amateurish. Enthusiast of 18th and 19th-century French history.

This video took forever to make, but I’m glad I made it... It’s a topic that gets rehashed to death, to the point that Robespierre gets called a dictator more often than some actual dictators…

You’ve seen it: a tidy graph shouting “18th-century France = 21st-century USA!” Cue alarm bells—revolution incoming! The top 10% should panic; the rest stockpile beans and loo roll.
Great for clicks, sure, but accuracy? Not so much. This one’s waving more red flags than a Les Misérables production.
