The French and Haitian Revolutions are one of the most fascinating and momentous events in what passes for western history, and yet the way liberals treat these subjects is just downright atrocious

While the horrific counter-revolution of 1776 is glorified, the French Revolution is treated like some ugly step-child they'd rather keep locked in the basement

I'm sick of it, I just want to learn about a cool-ass revolution without power-worshipping liberals throwing a conniption

    I'll tell you one thing, its definitely not Assassin's Creed Unity. The message of the game is that believing in anything is bad, because extremist do things like kill. It does this without any sense of irony that the name of the series is literally Assassin's Creed

      I love how the Assassins and Templars have this millenia long conflict with no discernable ideology lol

        In the Ezio games there was an interesting subplot in the puzzle minigames about the Templars inventing capitalism because relying on monarchs and aristocrats was getting them killed more often than not, the puzzle game even brought up the Bretton Woods Conference and made Keynes a templar, which really tickled me

        Of course this was all the work of whatever crypto-trot was in charge of designing the minigames and the thread was never picked up in subsequent Creed games

          Secretly, the conference was a cover for a meeting between the economic agents of the Templar Order, including John Maynard Keynes and Harry Dexter White. On the last day of the conference, a speech was given to Abstergo Industries employees, economists, and world leaders, mentioning the formation of the "Plan" by Henry Ford and Ransom Eli Olds in 1910 and the threat presented by the communist system, as well as the efforts of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin to create the "turmoil and fear necessary" for the implementation of the new economic system, capitalism.

          Joseph Stalin doing a false flag to better establish capitalism as a dominant ideology data-laughing

        They kind of have ideologies but not ones that hold up to any kind of basic scrutiny. They're the kind of made up superficial ideologies intended to make 12 year olds think "this is deep"
