"During the French revolution, they thought... "During the revolution, they did..."
Wait. Stop. Pause. The French revolution is a thing that lasted 10 years. You cannot give any blanked statement about it as a whole, because there were so many things going on. Things generally common at one point were unheard of in another. To say anything about frev, you must specify these things: 1. When it's happening? (Not just a year; a specific month at least). 2. Where it's happening? (Paris? Near a battlefield? Somewhere else?) 3. Who is saying/doing this? (Different people had very different takes and tried to influence things in different ways). 4. (of course, should come as #0) How do we know/what is the source?
(This is half a joke post and not an instruction on how to interact here, lol. Just a reminder that we can't give blanket statements about revolution as a whole because so many things differed from month to month and place to place and person to person. The more I read about it, the more I realize it.)
#frev#french revolution#i don't even know if there are things to say about frev as a whole#was it a bourgeois revolution#was is a class struggle#was it liberal#was it proto socialist#idk man what year are we talking about and according to which participants

"The French Revolution, therefore, assumes a unique place in the history of the contemporary world. As the classic bourgeois revolution, abolishing feudalism and the seigneurial system, it forms the point of departure for capitalist society and liberal democracy in the history of France. As a revolution of the peasants and the masses, and therefore uncompromisingly antifeudal, it twice transcended its bourgeois limits: first during Year II, an experiment which, though necessarily doomed to fail, long retained its power as a prophetic example; then with the Conspiracy of the Equals, an episode that marks the birth of present-day revolutionary thought and action. These essential characteristics probably explain the vain efforts that have been made to deny the true historical nature and the specific social and national character of the French Revolution, for it is a fertile and dangerous precedent. Hence also the shudder that the French Revolution sent throughout the world, and the continued reverberation that it arouses in men's minds even today. The very memory of it is revolutionary, and stirs us still."
-Albert Soboul, A Short History of the French Revolution, 1789-1799
#saw there was some discussion going on about whether the frev was bourgeois or not#and i just finished reading this book#so i thought it would be topical to post some Professional Marxist Analysis :]#french revolution#frev#conspiracy of equals#albert soboul

About Chloé in Revolution
We finally see that yes, her tantrums are of a spoiled brat, but in the end, she searched for Marinette. It was always about her and HER opinions. The bullying, everything, was all for her. The reaction she never got from her mother, the attention she always wanted, came everytime from Marinette and she enjoyed that in a twisted way because she had control of someone.
And when Marinette rejected her, in Chloé's last attempt to get any reaction from Mari, she broke. She finally broke because she was truly alone. And i liked that. Indifference is worse than hatred.
Chloé lost the last person in her world, and that was Marinette.

Is Chloe Bourgeois a senti-being? Season 6 theory explained
Introduction
As season 6 is only a couple of months away from being released, it’s time to discuss some interesting and bizarre theories surrounding different characters among the main cast. Today we will be discussing the controversial character of Chloe Bourgeois who is making a comeback in Season 6. This post will analyse the theory that claims that she is a senti-being which has gained traction among MLB tiktok, Twitter and Reddit after the release of Season 5. I am neither supporting nor denying this claim but providing evidence,ideas and theories I found on social media that props up both sides of the argument. I will be analysing evidence that supports the idea of her being a senti and of her not being one.
Evidence supporting this claim
Revolution
On the plane ride in Revolution, after Chloe has been exiled from Paris and sent to live with her abusive mother, Audrey says
“ I will take control of your life again starting with your education”.
What did she mean by “again”? Did she use to control Chloe when she was younger with an amok and it was only when Audrey left for NYC that she finally experienced freedom? Control has always been associated with senti-beings with Gabriel and Colt both controlling their sons using rings. When Audrey is saying this line, there is a specific emphasis on the ring on her finger.
We know rings in this show are synonymous with senti-beings and amoks based on how the three confirmed senti's in the show (Adrien, Felix and Kagami) all have their amoks embedded in their rings. So are the writers implying that Chloe could be Senti based on this?
The Tsurugi, Agreste and Bourgeois families - possible alliance?
From the first 4 seasons of the show, it was speculated among the fanbase that the phenomena of senti-beings and creating a child using “magic” was only limited to the Agreste/Graham de vanily family with most of the fandom believing only Adrien and Felix to be senti’s. However, Season 5 revealed that there is another senti-monster in the cast which is Kagami Tsurugi meaning more families knew about the peacock miraculous and used it to create their senti’s. This changed how the concept of senti's were seen by the fanbase now with the possibility of theorising that characters outside of the Agreste/graham de vanily families are possible senti-beings. One reason why fans believe Chloe could be one is because of The Bourgeois family’s close ties to Gabriel Agreste.
Audrey and Andre both knew Gabriel in their youth so it isn’t a stretch to assume that he told them about the peacock Miraculous and allowed them to use it for certain reasons. The Tsurugi family is also another family close to the Agrestes and it is confirmed that Kagami is a senti meaning Gabriel gave the miraculous to Tome to use. If Kagami is a senti, then Chloe could be one too as both of their families are associated with Gabriel and are part of the elite.
We see Audrey, alongside Tomoe (who we know has an alliance with Gabriel) watching the news about the rediscovery of the Guardian's temple. Why would the writers focus on Audrey unless she knows about the Miraculous because of Gabriel and Emelie? If Chloe is a senti-being, why would the writers want to make all the rich kids of Paris senti’s? Do they want to imply that all the wealthy families in Paris are part of some secret cult and that all the rich kids we saw in the diamond dance in Emotion are all senti-beings?
Evidence debunking this claim
Andre Bourgeois
If Chloe is a senti , (and I know this will sound horrible) why didn’t Andre just use the amok to discipline Chloe and keep her in line since he had so much difficulty in keeping her well behaved and well mannered ? We know he wasn’t a good person and didn’t care much for Chloe especially at the end of S5 where he disowned Chloe , sent her off to live with Audrey who he’s know will abuse Chloe , replaced Chloe with Zoe (another man’s daughter) and let her be scapegoat for the fiasco in Revolution when he know Tomoe and Gabriel were pulling the strings. If he is capable of being this lazy with his daughter when it comes to raising her, why didn’t he bother using the amok to keep Chloe in check if she is a senti ? Does he not know where the amok is or does Audrey have the amok? Either he drew the line at controlling people against their will or Chloe is not a senti .
The writers
It’s obvious that the writers are not even trying to hide their hatred towards Chloe especially after watching S5. They have no desire to redeem her or at least write her to be a decent villain. If Chloe is revealed to be a senti then that would mean she would have limited control over her actions in S4-S5 if someone like Audrey had her amok in S4-S5. That would imply Chloe isn’t to blame for some of her behaviour and that she is sympathetic which is the last thing the writers want her to be portrayed as. We know Felix who initially started off as a villain later became a little bit sympathetic as it was revealed he was A senti and that his father was horrible towards him by abusing and controlling him. Why would the writers make Chloe a senti in order to make her look sympathetic and redeemable when they made it clear Chloe would never change ? Therefore there is a possibility that she couldn’t be a senti.
If Chloe is a senti, why and how was she created and where could her amok be?
If this theory is true, One reason I could see Chloe being created was that one of her parents was likely infertile. The infertile parent would be Andre as we know Audrey is fertile because of her accidental pregnancy with Zoe. However, it is a coincidence that all the wealthy parents were infertile and would look like bad writing. Another reason why the Bourgeois could’ve used the peacock miraculously was because it was easier than getting pregnant. Audrey maybe didn’t want to get pregnant as it would ruin her physical image and Audrey is the type of person who prioritises herself and cares a lot about looks.
She thought creating was child using magic was much better than ruining her own body with pregnancy. However, this idea is debunked with the character of Zoe. We know Zoe is younger than Chloe so she was born after Audrey used the miraculous. Why would Audrey use the miraculous to create a child to preserve her body if she ended up ruining her body anyway when she biologically had Zoe? Why not abort? Did Mr Lee threaten her? Either both Zoe and Chloe are senti-beings or none of them are.
Unlike the other senti-kids who has either One parent dead or absent, Chloe still has both of her parents alive. We know Colt used the miraculous to create Felix while Emelie used the miraculous to create Adrien. Because of using the broken peacock miraculous, both Colt and Emelie eventually got sick and died. However, Andre and Audrey are alive and healthy so if Chloe is a senti, somebody else must’ve used the miraculous instead. Either Audrey paid somebody to use the miraculous to prevent herself from getting sick or one of Chloe's grandparents used it and their death could’ve been passed off as old age.
Another theory suggests that Audrey did use the miraculous to make Chloe however instead of losing her life, she got lucky and the miraculous only corrupted her psychologically making her lose her empathy and morals instead of her life. This theory is related to the Tsurugi family, where the fans speculated that Tomoe was the one who created Kagami instead of her absent father however instead of losing her life, she got fortunate and only lost her eyesight. The idea of Tomoe surviving despite using the miraculous caused fans to speculate Audrey also used the miraculous and survived as well.
If Chloe is a senti, where could her amok be? It isn’t in her teddy bear as that was broken in Despair bear yet Chloe did not disappear. It is either in Audrey’s ring or her sunglasses as Chloe doesn’t go anywhere without her sunglasses.
Conclusion
To conclude , both sides of the “Is Chloe a senti ? “ debates have compelling arguments backed up by lot’s of evidence. However , I haven’t officially picked a side yet and have just analysed and presented suitable evidence for and against this theory. It would be interesting if Chloe is a senti as honestly, Chloe being revealed as such might be the only thing that would save her character and redemption arc. However , the writers could also decide she isn’t a senti but a regular human . Now I want to hear your opinion. Do you like theory or hate it ? Here is a poll on the Chloe being a senti theory if you're interested.
Comment you thoughts below and let me know ?

Dear Chloé Haters,
Now that "Revolution" has aired, I hope you're proud of yourselves.
I hope you're proud that she's gonna live with her abusive mother, I hope you're proud that she lost everything; including the two friends (Adrien and Sabrina) that she actually cared for and were willing to help her, I hope you're proud that no one, not even her own father or sister, loves her. I especially hope you're proud that you got your wish: That she's worse that Gabriel, Lila, Nathalie, and Félix, and that she's an irredeemable monster because your precious Marinette and your God Thomas Astruc said so; just so you can have your stupid ass Love Square ship (Which I'm starting to despise more and more thanks to how poorly written this show is and because of you guys.) and that she might be (Key word: might) written out for good because Thomas himself hates her for the most pathetic fucking reason ever.
If you can honestly look at this and go "Woohoo yes! It's about time that bitch got karma! She had it coming all these years!"
A. You don't know a damn thing about karma and how it works.
B. You also don't know what it's like to be abused and how abuse can affect someone, especially someone as young as Chloe was when her mom left her.
And C. You especially don't know what it's like to be change for the better, only to fail repeatedly because old habits are hard to change for the better.
Oh, and don't you dare fucking give me that "Well Mylène said her mom left her and she turned out fine" or "Well Gabriel was a shitty person as a teenager, and he only got worse" crap. I don't want to hear a goddamn thing about those shitty ass arguments. That just proves that you're biased and Thomas doesn't know a fuck ton about abused victims and how they cope differently.
I don't want to deal with you. Not now. Not ever.
Get off my page if you hate Chloe. Block me for all I care. Hell, call me a bully or racist apologist or hell, even a sociopath apologist for all I care.
I. Don't. Give. A. Fuck.
You got your wish, and now my wish is to not associate with any of you people.
Bye.
#also if you come at me on why this was a good episode I'm gonna either block your ass or delete your comment#chloe haters fuck off now#i don't wanna deal with your bullshit#STFU and get off my fucking page#miraculous ladybug#chloe bourgeois#andre bourgeois#audrey bourgeois#chloe deserves better#andre and audrey deserve worse#chloe sugar#andre salt#audrey salt#mlb s5 spoilers#mlb revolution#ml revolution#ml s5 salt

New rule for Anglos: you are not allowed to talk about the French Revolution if you don't spend at least three minutes on the wikipedia article "War of the first coalition"
#sick of people talking in Tumblr language about historical events#''The french revolution failed because of callout culture and no one wanted to work at the commune and also it was too bourgeois''#Literally every single nation involved in WW1 but for America deciding to invade France at once never seems to be something#that enters people's mind. ''it was the guillotine!'' say USIans that still practice capital punishment and whose cops kill in the thousands#you guys got 9/11'd once and 2½ decades of hysteria have followed. imagine the hysteria you'd feel if Mexico Canada & the Carribean attacked#you think your ''Democracy'' would refrain from blood in the streets? from paranoia? from partisan politics becoming blood feuds ?#but somehow it's because of human nature and the revolution being mean to priests and congressmen and Marie-Antoinette. Puh-lease#the entire terror is 35 000 dead. 35 000 too many. the war of the first coalition killed 800 000 on both sides#think for a minute as to why you were aware of the horrors of the terror but not of 800k dead in a doomed war to stop the revolution

Another fun fact for today:
Chloe DESERVED A REDEMPTION ARC.
Let's just pretend Derision, Collusion and Revolution are just a bad dream, like: how stupid you have to be to think the "a 14 girl who does have problems it's the perfect election to the government" story it's a perfect idea?
Oh yeah, Thomas Astruc.
#miraculous#miraculous ladybug#cancelled#unpopular opinion#miraculous thoughts#miraculous unpopular opinion#chloe bourgeois#miraculous chloe#derision it's a fucking retcon from the fairly odd parents but more insulting#collusion it's like high guardian spice but in a kids show#revolution it's the chris chan episode of thomas astruc

Is it too much to hope for that...
This line of dialogue from That Bitch to Chloe could be a non-too-subtle dig at Thomas Astruc and his terrible handling of the show? From a once-promising fun franchise to an absolute mess of plot holes and retroconning, amongst a sea of blandness and filler?
Probably not, but it helps to believe.

Sooooooo, just so I'm getting this right
Now everyone in Paris and the MiracuClass is free of Chloé but Adrien will be back to square one and being stuck with her since he's going to London too?
Wonderful...

something about chloe being at her absolute lowest, wanting to call her best friend sabrina who she’s used to always being there for her, except she won’t be, because chloe finally pushed too far. and chloe knows that, so she doesn’t call, and instead settles for marinette, because one thing that has always made her feel better about herself is making other people feel small and marinette is her favorite target.
but then that doesn’t work either, and marinette makes chloe cry.

Begging online leftists to realize that “We Will Kill You If You Don’t” is not an effective strategy when it comes to getting normies on board with your movement.
#politics#leftism#leftist infighting#anarcho communism#communism#before you twist my words#I am not advocating bourgeois pacifism#but telling ordinary people they will be shot after the revolution#is a bad tactic actually#and also we probably shouldn’t just#execute every single working or middle class person who was not explicitly pro revolution

This kind of meme really grinds my gears. It's like the people who make this stuff didn't even watch the episode but just heard "Chloe becomes mayor" and raged off into the woods with their Photoshop tools.
No one "allowed" Chloe to become mayor. Slightly Less Evil Japanese Elon Musk and Evil Gandalf propped up a puppet dictator using their billions of dollars, military-grade weaponry, and multiple magical artifacts imbued with the power of literal gods.
This isn't even a hot take. It's literally what happens. It's obvious, clear as crystal, plain as day. They even show regular Parisians cowering at home when they find out this news!
