Where do YOU fit in the French Revolution?

Where would YOU fit in the French Revolution? Arguably the most polarizing event in European history, a cause of progress and simultaneously many deaths...

Where do YOU fit? Do you miss the old days? Do you want small, manageable reforms? Are you willing to kill thousands to protect the integrity of the revolution? Do you think that maybe violence isn't all good? Or perhaps do you think it's time for a new ruler...?

King Louis XVI has just risen to the throne. How do you feel?
- God bless & save our noble King! Montjoie Saint-Denis!
- Nice, let's hope he will be successfull!
- Yay, another TYRANT! How joyful... >:(
A famine has occured and France is in a dire situation! The King has assembled the Estates General after a century to find a solution! How do you feel?
- May God help us in this horrible instance, and may He guide our Majesty to resolve the crisis.
- There need to be REFORMS. How long until the State collapses?
- Well, maybe we don't need the King at all, do we now?
A Constitution has been proclaimed, Bastille has been stormed, and the Revolution has now officialy begun!
- It is all so ridiculous, the damned representatives caused this mess! We don't need a Constitution and that other rubbish, we have our FAITH & GOD!
- Great! With the Constitution we'll solve all problems!
- The Constitution doesn't go far enough, REMOVE THE KING!
- Let's hope this doesn't spiral out of control...
- Huh, guess we need a STRONGER leader. Maybe mere Kings are too insignificant to combat change?
Well, the Constitutional Monarchy failed, now France is at War with the rest of Europe and there's dissent in the rural provinces. What do you think?
- It was bound to fail! No middleman can act forever. Please restore His Majesty and end this nonsense!
- It was betrayed! We could have succeeded! Damn Radicals!
- THE KING HAS TO GO! THE WARS SHOULDN'T HAVE BEGUN, IT'S WAY TOO EARLY! At least we have a Republic now.
- What an unfortunate turn of events! That said, THE WARS ARE JUST, FIGHT JACQUES FIGHT FOR THE MOTHERLAND IS ALWAYS RIGHT!
- We need a strong central Authority to end the chaos and reform France & the Continent!
The Roman Catholic Church is targeted in the new environment. How do you feel?
- A stable society has three pillars: Church-Lords-Subjects. Leave the Church alone, no Faith means no Life.
- There is corruption within the Church and it needs to stop.
- The church opresses the people, it has to GO! BURN THE CHURCHES, CRUCIFY THE PRIESTS!
- It's archaic, we need an Enlightened™ faith system.
- I don't care frankly, but if society is destabilized then the Church shouldn't be targeted.
The American government under the Federalist Party has refused to pay its debts to us, saying that the loans were given by the Monarchy which is now defunct. Futhermore our relations with the US are now very cold and the Federalist government favors Britain (!!!) more than us. Thoughts?
- For rosbifs republicans they're surprisingly RIGHT! The loans are null, void & defunct leave them alone, they're an ocean away anyway!
- The Yanks are causing problems with current leadership. We should de-escalate and find a solution NOW!
- And they DARE call themselves Republicans! Look at these liars! KILL THEM JACQUES!
- That's ridiculous, they're just trying to outsmart us. A Quasi-War sounds like the only option...
- Whatever they say, they're a new and rising nation. We need to settle this, they have money and we need money. War with them is pointless.
The King and his Wife have been executed, and the Crown Prince is most likely dead. Thoughts?
- REGICIDES! BURN IN HELL YOU ATHEIST SCUM!
- Come on, that was uncalled for!
- No complaints here buddy :D
- Well, it's sad but they shouldn't have tried to escape to Austria. That's Life.
- So much violence... what has this nation come to?
France is involved in War after War, with Coalitions abroad, Rebels in the countryside and uprisings in the Colonies. Thoughts?
- God is punishing us for overthrowing His Majesty and the pre-modern status quo. Restore the Bourbons and end the insanity!
- War is bad, and it's even worse if you lose.
- The Revolution has to survive somehow you know, no defense means no liberty, fraternity or egality!
- War's good buddy! We flex our strength on the world! Ignore the colonies, they're an ocean away! Egypt however isn't, so GO FIGHT IN THE PYRAMIDS JACQUES!
- Wars need to end in Victories. No Win, NO PEACE!
In domestic affairs, the Republican Government under the Comitee of Public Safety is using the guillotine daily and the Revolution's fate inside the country is claimed as uncertain. Thoughts?
- God please make fire rain on Paris and the Bourbons come back! What sin did we do?
- Hey, at least the guillotine is a humane and quick method of neutralization! Are you aware of hanged, drawn and quartered?
- The National Razor, Madame Guillotine serves this Nation truthfully and honestly! There are many traitors out there, and they have to meet her!
- Yeah, I didn't sign up for this. STOP THE GUILLOTINE NOW! Impeach the Comitee!
- The Republic is a joke! France needs a Strong leader to heal the wounds!
The Revolution has brought rapid centralization, massive reforms on every facet of daily, civil, religious and military life and has exported these ideas abroad. Thoughts?
- What was wrong before? The parlements worked, the Church worked, other countries were just like us, WHY ON EARTH DID WE HAVE TO BURN IT ALL IN THE NAME OF EQUALITY AND PROGRESS?
- Some are good and some are bad. Change always does that.
- Perfect, the whole of Humanity should embrace our progress!
- Well they're mostly ok, as long as the guillotine is pushed aside.
- Centralization is nice, everything else is ridiculous.
Lastly, where do you feel more comfortable?
- Pre-Revolution. 1789 was the End of civilization, I reject modernity and yearn for TRADITION, ORDER & STABILITY.
- Early Revolution. A Constitutional Monarchy is best, look across the Channel at Britain and how well they're doing!
- Republic & Terror. Violence is bad but needed to protect the Revolution, otherwise feudalism will return and our lives will be bad again!
- Directory. The Republic isn't bad as a system, it's the Jacobins that are the problem. Pennsylvania's Constitution of 1776 is where we should look at to stabilise the Republic.
- Consulate & Finale. Strong Authority will heal this nation and lead it to greatness again!
