Today is the 234th Festival of the Revolution, the day to celebrate the glory of the Republic and the fall of tyranny. 234 years later, the Republic still stands (with a few breaks in those years) and the ideals of the Revolution have spread to all corners of the Earth.
Let us enjoy the gift of Liberty today, citizens!
UNITÉ ET INDIVISIBILITÉ DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE
LIBERTÉ, EGALITÉ, FRATERNITÉ!
So Marco is American, he’s lived his entire life in a republic and we assume would likely view a feudal, absolute monarchy like Mewni negatively.
Why didn’t he maybe encourage Star to adopt more democratic policies or move Mewni away from being a monarchy and have it become a republic like the world he was from?
Obviously the real reason is that this isn’t that kind of show but I wanna see y’all’s theories
Andrew Roberts appeared on a PragerU video posted June 29, 2026 entitled “America and France: A Tale of Two Revolutions.” The video argues that the American Revolution was better than the French Revolution due to a superior idea of human nature, more competent leadership and experience in self government. He argues the French Revolution was bad for the world and the American Revolution did better.
Definitely a strange thing to say for a man whose career studying the most famous figure of the revolution wouldn’t fucking exist without it.
Edit: apparently he’s been appearing on PragerU for years. He’s even appeared in videos from 8 years ago
232 years ago this day, on 8 Messidor, II (June 26, 1794), the armies of the French Republic, lead by Jean-Baptiste Jourdan, achieved its greatest victory at Fleurus against the armies of tyranny lead by Josais von Coburg. After “fifteen hours of the most desperate fighting I ever saw in my life,” as recorded by Jean-de-Dieu Soult, during which Jourdan employed the first use of military aircraft by using balloons for reconnaissance, France defeated the Austrian armies, saving the Republic from the threat of invasion and keeping the Low Countries under revolutionary control.
It was thanks to the brilliance of Jourdan, the strength of Kléber and the zeal of Saint-Just that Fleurus was won and their valiance ensured that the dream of a free world, lead by the people and not by monarchs, would live and go on to dethrone the dreams of tyrants and kings everywhere.
