I absolutely love history. Lately I’ve been studying the French Revolution. Did Robespierre want to stop the reign of terror even though he is considered the main leading figure behind it or was he as radical and unhinged as he is depicted in history? Why did they agree to execute him? Did he turn his back on his egalitarian beliefs and become too self important and king-like?

Who said he turned his back on his beliefs? On the contrary, he was going to force his beliefs on everyone, you know, for their own good. The road to hell and good intentions, you know.

He probably didn’t turn his back on his beliefs but I heard that he started to glorify himself too much with the Cult of the Supreme Being celebration. He is fascinating to say the least. People like him are a rarity in this world.
