The French revolution was also extremely brutal. People idealize it but it actually sucked. The obscene political betrayal and corruption by "revolutionaries" themselves was awful and abuses lasted for multiple generations.

The French revolution isn't a good revolution to aspire to, no matter how satisfying it might feel to fantasize about it I assure you in hindsight your childrens' children would weep if that's what happened to you in the U.S.

Not saying justice isn't due: on the contrary we need to lean even further into this energy, to metabolize it. Not trying to preach either btw. Your rage is valid, trust me I have my own.
