Indeed.

The elites will take away everything but the necessary minimum.

Then, the climate will change, and there will be no food, and no reserve.

Faced with the unavoidability of death, people will stop fearing it, and will do whatever they want.

History will repeat itself, and yet another eternal empire will fall.

I'm usually down on the french, they don't have much of a track record for bravery yet they think they are God's gift to the world, just like the Greeks, the Italians, the British, and even the Egyptians that are starving in their squalor. I call it the Past Empire Syndrome Trademark [PEST]. These pests think that because they once [long long ago] ruled large swaths of the planet that they are the chosen elite, just like every church on the planet thinks it has God's ear and every other religion is false, or at the very lest, misguided on the finer points of doctrine.

But all that aside, I think the French peasants of the révolution were probably a more staunch breed than the TV addicted weak muscled breeds that now reside in most western nations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjDtnLrt71Y
