  • Lack of education. I am not French but learned about this in school. History is important so we don’t repeat mistakes from the past.

    Some may think whatever happened some 250 years ago in France is irrelevant. I’ll use this quote from the Wikipedia article to illustrate (keep in mind the estimated number of victims is even higher) :

    “During the Reign of Terror, at least 300,000 suspects were arrested; 17,000 were officially executed, and perhaps 10,000 died in prison or without trial.”

    That’s a little over 1% of the population (about 28 million) arrested and 0,06% executed. In the US today this would equal to 3.320.000 arrested and 199.200 executed.

    And what worries me even more is there are people who look at this and think it’s fine.

    And why would the machines need humans to harness energy anyway? Aren’t there an almost infinite number of species on this earth that could serve the same purpose without the risk of them waking up and overthrow you? I imagine pigs don’t care much about anything and you could pretty much scrap the whole Matrix thing.
