Being on the losing side a civil war is always a bad thing and what the loyalist were subjected to can almost be considered a high water mark for how the losing side was treated. What happened to the loyalist was wrong but to make even a tangential comparison between that and the tens of thousands murdered by the French is absurd.

I am not angry about the French revolution, in fact it has no emotional value to me at all and I don't think ours went better than theirs because we are awesome and they suck. It is about who did it bet it is about which was more successful and which should be used as a model for the future. I agree that we had a large number of advantages not the least being that we had nowhere near the massive pent up anger and desperation of the French people at that time. None the less the French revolution serves as better example of what can go wrong with a populist revolution than does as shining example of liberty and human rights. It did overthrow the monarch but what came afterwards was any many ways worse than what they had before.
