- cloudjacker 10y agolol, starting. people say that stuff in passive protest, you should look for the causes of the revolution in france, the causes for the declaration of independence, what bothered people so much back then and then see if "starting" is actually applicable vs a glaring understatement
- TrevorJ 10y agoLife under the Ancien Regime had some clear parallels to modern times in America superficially, but there were clear differences too. Pre-revolutionary France was not at all modernized compared to the rest of their neighbors for one thing, so that lent a pressure all it's own that was unique to that time period. Some of the root causes for unrest may be similar but it's not a direct analogue by any means.
