Do you have proof Robspierre opposed what happened in the towns of Nantes and Lyon? Because as far as I know (and I'm no expert) there's no account of him being explicitly against what happened there, except the argument he had with Fouché in Carlotte Robespierre's mémoirs. Sorry if my question bothered you, I'm just trying to understand the whole situation.

We know Robespierre spearheaded the motion to have Carrier (the man who was in charge of the army at Nantes when the mass killings happened, and who is generally agreed to be responsible for them) recalled and removed from his position. We also know that he was against the violent dechristianizers, whom he called "fanatics".

With Fouché, the main source is Charlotte Robespierre's memoirs, and memoirs can be tricky with authentication, but I'm inclined to believe it because it lines up with the circumstances and what we know of both men. Something must've happened between the two of them for Fouché to feel so genuinely threatened by Robespierre, and we know that Robespierre abhorred excessive violence (he refused to watch executions, for example, and advocated against trying to bring the revolution to other countries through war), as well as the dechristianization movement, which he saw as both needlessly destructive and an affront to religious freedom.

Robespierre was very uncompromising when it came to actions he deemed immoral by government members (and honestly, mass slaughter is usually considered immoral by most people). He was famous for being "incorruptible" (read: not taking bribes) and due to that, there was no way to shut him up if he found out you were abusing your position, other than killing him off. So Fouché must've been scared of Robespierre exposing something about him, and the fact that he participated in semi-legal extrajudicial massacres seems a likely candidate.

Also a lot of his rhetoric in speeches hints about his complicated position on revolutionary violence. Oftentimes he condones some form of violence (like the execution of Louis Capet), but he usually tempers it with some condition about only doing it when absolutely necessary (i.e. terror without virtue is fatal). He also signed relatively few arrest warrants compared to most of his colleagues on the CSP, and was famously reluctant to arrest several people until there was better proof of their guilt (Danton and Desmoulins come to mind here; he eventually did agree to put them on trial but only after trying to dissuade Desmoulins from lawbreaking multiple times). So if he was that careful about even sending someone to trial, it's only logical that he would not be a fan of summary execution.

Sorry if this is long or if it seems like beating around the bush, I have neither the time nor the knowledge of 18th century French style/grammar conventions to comb through all the relevant documents and speeches that might hold more conclusive proof. But TL;DR: he definitely opposed Carrier's actions in Nantes, and it's very likely from what we know of his ideological positions that Fouché's actions in Lyon drove a wedge between the two as well.

If I have learned anything it is that sometimes you have to care about something that doesn’t really matter. Today I chose to care about the French toast.

Bronx Bruiser DThang Calls Out the "Drill Cappers" in His New Single

Emerging from the busy Bronx drill scene, DThang stood out with his pure vocal tone and take-no-prisoners bars. Recently released from jail after his exoneration from pending charges, DThang has wasted no time in rebuilding the momentum he had before he went inside. Today, the 23-year-old rapper clears up misconceptions wit hhis new single "Drill Cappers." Running roughshod atop racing piano arpeggios, the Bronx bruiser takes aim at those who think drill music is just a game, dabbling in the culture while ignoring its life-or-death stakes: "I do this sh*t for the game, and you do that sh*t for the clout," he asserts. In the video, DThang hangs with his crew in his home borough, smoking outside the towers and celebrating his wins at the club.

"Drill Cappers" continues DThang's fiery start to 2024. After the rapper's exoneration earlier this year, DThang didn't wait to leave jail before dropping new music–he shared the invigorating freestyle "Hard Day's Night / Last Day In" just before his release. The heartfelt music video for "Last Day In" racked up over 3.6 million views in three weeks. Upon his release ,DThang was greeted by his mentor French Montana, who gifted him a fresh piece of jewelry and took him shopping for the latest fits. On Valentine's Day, DThang delivered a fresh ode to all of his smoochies, with "Smoochie Valentine," inspired by Nelly and featuring a cameo by the legendary rapper in the video, which reached the Top 20 on YouTube's Trending Chart for Music with over 1.3 million views.

DThang emerged in 2021, leading a Bronx drill wave that took his city by storm. He tore up the streets with songs like "Gz Bop," "LIKE" and "Play It Back," generating tens of millions of views on his raw and authentic music videos. DThang's 2021 "On The Radar Freestyle" brought his momentum to a head–to this day, it's the second most-viewed videos on the On The Radar channel. Alongside peers like Kay Flock, Sha Gz, and Bando, DThang was set to define the sound of Bronx drill for years to come.

Now fully exonerated and back in the drill game for good, DThang is ready to turn heads in and out of the Five Boroughs with his hard-nosed rhymes. Keep your eyes peeled for a new project, coming soon.

So i finished the second unit in my German textbook right

And Tibetan has been going really well

(And im still pretending i dont actually need to learn ASL shhhhhh)

So i opened up La Monde, just for shits and giggles, because while im not going to start relearning French until i get way further in German and Tibetan, i was curious to see just where my comprehension is after the 5+ years since i last actively used it

I can understand more than i was expecting to

Now i have to resist the urge to add French onto my list of languages im actively learning
