When we are born, we are all squalling little babies, dependent on our mothers for food and our fathers for protection. We are all born the same, so why is it that when we become older, we allow worldly concerns like wealth, skin color, and station define us? We should not but in 18th century France, there social stratification running in the air. This is unacceptable, in more places than just France. Citizens of the world, if you have suffered the same social injustices that I see plaguing my beloved France, then I urge you to raise your voices and join me in burning down France and creating it anew!
The only way to vanquish the omnipresent injustice in our dear countries is to revolt, we must destroy all we know and rise as a formidable new country from the ashes. I do not say this without reason. In my France, we have for a while had three separate estates. The first estate is the clergy, the second is the nobility, and the third is the citizens. The injustices begin here. For example, when you look at the breakdown of taxes, the clergy and nobility pays no taxes while the citizens pay it all. This is unfair in and of itself, but in addition to this, when it comes to representation whilst making laws, the first and second estates hold all of the power while the third estate holds no say in the laws and institutions of France. This is unacceptable, especially when considering that all of the money for funding the government comes entirely from the third estate. This is completely unfair and needs to be changed. This stratification is apparent in all ways of life. Due to the lavish life of the nobility, most of the third estate's hard earned taxes are depleted to fuel their taste for finery. If, like me, you see how unfair and unjust this is, then join me in burning down the French government.
We, the revolutionaries of France, will recreate the French government better than before.
