The Sun King: Louis XIV - Part 2
He brought France to its highest splendor and made it a beacon of science, culture, and arts. It is under his reign, the longest reign in history, that France became the greatest power in Europe and would come to dominate the continent for the whole century, a century Voltaire would describe as “Le Grand Siècle” - the Great Century. The face even of Absolutism, builder of Versailles, it is no surprise that you are known as The Sun King, Louis XIV.
I know that there's a lot of controversy over whether or not Louis XIV said "I am the State". I've used it in the thumbnail because it's very well-known, but intend to discuss the uncertainty around the origins of this quote in a later video.

Hello everyone, for my 10,000 subscribers, I wanted to clear the controversial and hyper-sexualized reputation of my channel that my recent Marquis de Sade videos have created. At its core, this is a very serious channel about very serious topics, and it is time that my videos start reflecting that. And what can be more uncontroversial and serious than the review of a historical movie? So today...

    French Revolution is the bloody example of all radical revolutions that came after. One can see clearly the seed of communist revolution in it. The mother of all bloody thirst for changes. It’s ugly, dirty, disgusting and inhumane. No revolution ever was or will be beautiful. No matter how glorious their slogans are. Because all revolutions are ideology based. And history proved that those who fight for their ideology or utopia, are the most dangerous ones. That’s why the ideology of globalism, one world government, one borderless beautiful world is actually very dangerous. Just as dangerous as « internationalism » was at the pick of 20 century. And that’s why the ideology of political Islam is dangerous. Because it wants it for all humanity. Once something claims « good for all humanity », you should be alarmed of its extreme danger. Just when someone said not too long ago : « you will have nothing, but you will be happy ». The same ideology that fired the French Revolution, but being said in modern language. It wants one revolution for the world. Do you see similarity between globalism and islamism? Do you see why these two idealist groups support each other these days? They’re like two brothers, wearing same suits in different colours.

    Good presentation, shows clearly how sinful n corrupt the human heart is and is incapable of righteous rule until the King of Kings , Jesus Christ, Lord God Almighty in his mercy changes the dark sinful hart which we all have. For he is the only way, the truth and the light, no one comes to God the Father except by him. All are sinful, lawbreakers and under his judgments when we depart from his word, only he came and paid the price for the sins of the world by dying in our place and rising from the dead to give forgiveness of sins to all he calls out of darkness into his marvelous light and be set free.

    Almost no sources, you're just spitting some random facts. And what aggravates me most - countless items in our history were invented multiple times in different places, so Gauls are among many other cultures that “invented” barrels or soap. It's not like they were the source of those inventions for the whole world.

    The revolution was based on nothing but BS. Marie Antoinette was a devout Catholic who wanted to do whatever she could for the poor. But the Marxists running this world want everyone to believe that being Christian doesnt automatically make you virtuous. In fact, they want you to believe that Christians are preverted l**rs and thieves. Projecting much aye? Before the h**l on Earth that was the French Revolution, France was the most Christian nation on Earth. Its so sad to see how far theyve fallen, all in the name of liberty... which is a deception in itself. After all, liberty doesnt automatically make you free. You still have to answer to an authority, corrupt or not

    Dear schools, teach students the dark sides of history & never leave out any unsightly details. If you're going to talk about history, you need to include all of it. We can't learn from the mistakes of the past & become better for those who aren't even born yet, if we don't know them.
