Isn't this what we're seeing in real time?
Jacobinism is an ideology developed and implemented during the French Revolution of 1789. In the words of François Furet, in Penser la révolution française (quoted by Hoel[who?] in Introduction au Jacobinisme..., "Jacobinism is both an ideology and a power: a system of representations and a system of action." ("le jacobinisme est à la fois une idéologie et un pouvoir : un système de représentations et un système d’action" ) This ideology presents, according to Hoel,[who?] in L'idéologie jacobine, the following 6 characteristics: 1. Omnipotence of the State (« Omnipotence de l’État »); 2. Despotism of Paris (« Despotisme de Paris »); 3. Colonialism (« Colonialisme »); 4. Cultural genocide (« Génocide culturel »); 5. Rejection of the Social Contract (Rousseau) and federalism (Rejet du Contrat social (Rousseau) et du fédéralisme); 6. Hypocrisy, lies, double talk (Hypocrisie, mensonge, double discours).

During World War One starting in 1914, the Imperial German Army attacked the Third Republic of France.
So France was only roughly halfway through her republics by then.
We've only had one republic longer than France had all five, though forces within our shores are now trying really hard to turn our republic into a "People's Republic" that has never ever anywhere been a republic at all.

"Made the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs", never made sense to me, even in 1977, when I knew what a parsec was from the other "star" series. Think Lucas had to back into the answer to that baloney after using the big word. That guy never studied Jacobians or Green's Functions.
(BS, MS Mech Eng here, ~9.3 parsecs/c years ago)
They got flak from the hardcore fans and I read somewhere they explained it as follows: To get to Kessel they had to do a dangerous slingshot past a black hole. A closer-in path was shorter but more dangerous. The Falcon was small and could out-accelerate other freighters and took the shortest survivable path - several parsecs less than others. I don't have a reference for that; I just sort of remember it from somewhere.
Sounds like you've done well with extending the scope of your DNA. Aikido is a brethren to Judo, which I practiced for years. There are other judoka around the site. including an Olympian, I believe. Good she's doing engineering and not that square-chickens science ;)
I may be a little older: my autographed pic is Jimmy Doohan. The nice thing about her Aikido is that it has really boosted her self-confidence and situational awareness. The boy doesn't need it. He's a responsible kid, level headed, usually designated driver, and looks like a linebacker (good Scottish genes, and his granddaddy was a linebacker). He's usually out with several friends at a time, and no one has the nerve to mess with him.
I flipped a nutty when watching the new version with Chris Pine...then figured out the alternate universe thing. Whew! Kirk was a good boy in Iowa, with a horse named Tango, not a car thief.
My kids are 25 son and 21 daughter. Neither took a real interest in martial arts or sports. You are right, and it would have helped them. I was big into soccer and martial arts. Played for the 1984 U19 national champ team (good idea my age, eh? Bet we aren't that far apart in age...maturity...you gotta win!). Still play soccer now. Had to give up football and rugby, but picked up tennis. My son and daughter both have multi-binged TOS. They love it, and D&D.
Size is helpful! I'm only around 200 myself. 172 was my weight class in Judo (when svelte). Bigger, taller guys can settle things down quickly. I know a young man that works as a bouncer who is just ~140. He is a pro MMA guy, but unfortunately because he is small, he has to "work" as a bouncer, not just intimidate.
I'm pretty good at drinking stouts. If your Gerard Butler boy wants a job as a DD, and is in the MA area, he is welcome!
I like Guinness, but really like ones much stronger, with more malt and a longer ferment, like Imperial Stouts. Barrel aged are a great flavor too. Southern Tier stouts are fabulous.
When I was in college, there was a guy, we called "Bear" in our judo class. He was pretty overweight, but pretty strong. When he came, I always had to be his partner, because I was the next biggest, and no one else could move him. I had to practice Nage No Kata with him once.
The throw, Kata Guruma, at 2:45 in the video below, was pretty damn challenging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3XzJ...
It's Sunday in the South, and you've got me wanting to go to a micro-brew. Darn.
That throw would send me straight to the chiropractor. It's fun to watch my daughter do it to other black belts, though.
