Noted in Pausing: Beyond Brilliant — The French Revolution Redux
byVanderleunonNovember 7, 2022
Forcibly retired high school history teacher, Professor James O’Flannery (aka ProfJimbo), lectures you about the #FrenchRevolution and why the French Revolution happened for a god-awful long time.
So where did the hot mess of today’s progtard efforts to reduce all of humanity to their dung beetle world begin? It began with The French Revolution, the revolution that took the American Revolution and, in short, screwed the pooch when it came to replicating that in France. Oh well, they were — after all — “The Dog-Fucking French”™
The vileness of the French method of replacing monarchy was widely known and commented on at the time and long after. The most notorious among these memoirs was Carlyle’s The French Revolution: A History, 1837. It was a work of three volumes and over 300,000 words. It has endured.
Yes, it takes an hour and a half. So what? It’s worth it and you burned through many more hours than that binge-watching Breaking Bad for the third time, right? Right.
Besides, Flappr’s summation of The French Revolution is carefully tuned to the times in which we find ourselves now; times in which we are one false-flag incident away from the moment when “The Guns Come Out.” And the tune that this visual history plays is both brilliant and laugh-out-loud funny. It is accurate in its history and yet scathing in its satire.
In the hands of Flappr this is a righteous revision of all the revisionary garbage that’s been spewed out about revolution in the last century.
Lots of hours went into our documentaries. We hope people enjoy our work.

Well done, sir, very well done! It will be interesting, long after the grid has been de-energized, to gather the remnant in a secure location around a low fire and compare the personalities of that calamitous revolution with those of our own Ongoing Globo-Marxist Revolution (TM), though I cannot recall an adequate analogue for the Keystone Incitatus.
Being of revolutionary stock myself, and hailing from that part of the country which was especially riven by internecine warfare, I am plagued by atavistic foreboding when I think of the days to come. Like the Roman… On a positive note, descending from an outlaw notorious for shivving a rival in the chapel of a monastery, and from a goodly number of Border Reivers, it is comforting to think that, in the days of Neo-Feudalism sure to follow, one may have an ancestral leg up in the forthcoming festivities.
If you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go sharpen my axe. There’s sure to be a lot of chopping to be done as we drift toward the event horizon.
There is no doubt that Flappr’s “The French Revolution – Good Thing, Bad Thing” is a fine bit of video entertainment (I watched just over 1 hour of it), and accuracy in regard to its treatment of the major players and events in the French revolution and its relationship to current events happening throughout the world. ProfJimbo’s narration plays a large role in the fun factor in the way the video presents the historic information about the revolution, and consequences both intended and unintended resulting from revolution. With that said, while the video is high entertainment, as both Flappr’s YouTube banner states, and ProfJimbo’s admonishes, “DO THE READING,” and you’ll be better served.

I was completely surprised by the quality of the French Revolution video. I watch a lot of movies and videos. I don’t know much about the French Revolution but I can tell a well-made video or movie when I see one. There was an awful lot of work done to make such an entertaining video and since they used snippets of copyrighted material most likely they will never be monetized and be financially rewarded for their efforts. I hope everyone appreciates the work that goes into making a video like this.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
