I'm probably gonna get downvoted here, but seriously, just after reading a few comments on posts on the front page today, common and debunked gems of Republican propaganda constantly pop out.

Stuff like:

"Executing Louis XVI was the only option and the Convention did it to save the republic" (this one's particularly bad),

"Robespierre was bad, but not nearly as bad as the Austrians",

"The Diamond necklace Affair was the beginning of the end for the Royal family",

"The Reign of Terror was the war between good (Jacobins) and evil (Girondins)" (I wonder where does Lafayette fit on this moral scale).

These sort of historical hallucinations are no longer taken seriously even in French academia (and regarded as what they actually are: post-war propaganda), but continue to be spouted by some conservatives in France and are really just as bad as most excuses Danton uses. Seriously, do people still believe this mythology in current year? And if you do, sorry for ruining your circlejerk.
