The French Revolution is considered by many to be a failure due to the resulting disruptions in the economic and social stability of France. Many believe that the people would’ve been better off under the monarchy. But anyone who thinks that is a monarchist, and therefore cringe. In truth, the French Revolution was a failure for a different, lesser known reason. While the Revolution was technically responsible for the removal of king Louie the too many guys named Louie and his dumb boat-haired wife, the overall Revolution was a failure for one simple reason: It became a very popular time period for history bois to make jokes about, and as such the stupid asshole 13-year-olds who have spread throughout r/Historymemes like a cancer won’t shut the fuck up about it. At the very least it’s better than their stupid shitty World War Two memes, but the same “haha guillotine goes brrrr” memes are so obnoxious I wish I was headless like king Louie so I didn’t have to listen to this shit.

There was also the problem that it didn’t solve the famine crisis, got thousands of innocent people killed, and put a ruthless warmongering dictator on the throne, but who cares about all that nonsense. If it weren’t for these stupid summer redditors who got a B+ on a history paper and now consider themselves experts, I would argue that the French Revolution was a success. After a while France stabilized and sent king Louie to hell where all monarchs belong. They showed that through blood and the will of the people, all can be achieved. And they instilled a national spirit of resistance that exists to this day. On top of all those other reasons, they also terrified all the other monarchs, making them back off on their constant human rights abuses, which is always a plus.

To summarize, the French Revolution achieved all of its goals within a reasonable timeframe and with only a moderate amount of innocent deaths. But all of that is overshadowed by stupid 13-year-old schoolchildren who take a break from blaring the bassboosted USSR anthem on the bus to post shitty World War Two and French Revolution memes. And if the French Revolution never happened, these fuckheads wouldn’t be able to ruin my day with their garbage content. Therefore, the French Revolution was a resounding failure.
