SHE WASNT WELL INTENTIONED! She didn’t say that sentence, but later, AS AN ADULT, when she was still queen, but under a *slightly* more democratic regime, she did reach out to foreign royals to ask them to invade France, in order to restore absolute monarchy. Criticizing only her for the failures of Louis XVI and the broader French royal government is sexist, but pretending she didn’t play a part and infantilizing her is ALSO sexist

Guys I’m having a giggle : if you take identifying nuance as complete defence, I’m afraid that’s on you and reiterates my point

that film has done so much damage. people now think this person, who was a monster who lived in luxury while people starved, was a hero

Agree, but also the revolution was necessary, cause the bourgeoisie did not care about the common people, so the slander towards the royal family was absolutely justified

Being nice to the executioner was just a way to ensure they made it quick and painless, pissing them off before they kill you is obviously not a good idea lol

the way I had to hold myself back when I first started my politics class because my teacher kept going on and on about how Marie Antoinette said "let them eat brioche" and bla bla bla, it pissed me off so bad.

she was not sisi, she was not trying to escape from the royal court nor was she anti-elitist, philanthropist queen. to say that she was some kind of innocent dove and her execution/memory is purely misogynistic is so tone deaf. when the finance ministers proposed taxing the wealthy nobility, she used her immense influence over louis xvi to have them dismissed (to protect her own wealthy friends). even as the country faced catastrophic debt and bread riots, she continued to order bespoke gowns, gamble away massive fortunes, and demand luxury goods. she viewed these privileges as her divine birthright and fought any attempts to downsize the court's budget. once the revolution started, she immediately wrote to her family to crush the movement to preserve the absolute power of the monarchy. her actions were treasonous, prioritising royal survival over a war that would (and did) cause widespread devastation and further starvation across the french countryside. during the flour war (1775) she DID write to her mother where she said: "It is quite certain that in seeing the people who treat us so well despite their own misfortune, we are more obliged than ever to work hard for their happiness." —> however, marie antoinette was terrified of her mother, who constantly monitored her via spies and scolded her for being frivolous, airheaded, spending too much money, and endangering the alliance between austria and france etc. writing home about how deeply moved she was by the poor and how hard she and the king intended to work was exactly what her mother wanted to hear bc it made the 19 year old spoiled child look like a mature, responsible queen. not to mention that her gratitude she expresses in the letter is conditional: “..treat us so well despite their own misfortune…” —> as long as the people were obedient and loving despite everything, she sympathised w them. when they demanded systematic change, she immediately stopped viewing them as "her suffering people" and began viewing them as treasonous rebels who needed to be crushed by foreign armies. by the time she died, she was a grown woman of 35 years old.
