18th century France had a revolt *by* the ruling class, not against it; the problem there was that the King empowered the bureaucrats at the expense of the nobles whom he considered rivals - the bureaucrats didn't need the King, the nobles did.

Napoleon takes the powerful forces that were unleashed and wrecking the country and expends them by turning them outward.

The US needs egalitarianism because it is diverse. But the present situation is a weird one where the SJW left have created an inegalitarian system of racial, sexual and gender privilege, the best person is a trans gay black woman, the worst is a straight white man.

Yes, but it's akin to cooperation between a group of bank robbers and is roughly as robust as a pact between criminals; good for exactly as long as is absolutely necessary to commit the crime and no further. See: TERF vs TRANNY war.

"Everyone is equal and we'll all be fair to eachother and not do genocide and tribalism within the group" is actually a good idea and built many nations. Bioleninism is inherently short term...

Bioleninism is a deal between people who are natural enemies of that which is functional; as long as functional institutions remain in power the bioleninist deal will persist, but once the functional has been destroyed, the deal 100% over and the participants start infighting.

"We are allies because we're all oppressed" means the alliance is finished the second the "oppression" finishes.

That vid is an intelligent example of "I worry about the backlash" - "the real problem with intersectionalists is that they'll create a backlash and that would be really bad" Nah, that's not the real problem.

Replying to @CovfefeAnon @RokoMijicUK and
Bret has been very explicit that he views intersectionalism and grievance studies as a fundamental threat to modern civilisation and any attempt at the construction of rational dialogues. "The backlash" is far from being his sole concern.
