Tea at Trianon: Libs Of Tik Tok

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Libs Of Tik Tok

From The Federalist:

“Libs of Tik Tok” has been instrumental in helping parents understand the insane indoctrination occurring to their children every day, which is why Twitter wants to squash it under its authoritarian boot.

“[A] lot of parents are really getting awakened now. My account has been very influential on this, as well as other accounts and media outlets, in really showing parents what is going on in the schools that they otherwise wouldn’t know or realized. So I think that I do have a lot of hope for the future. And I think that we’re going to retake our school,” the “Libs of Tik Tok” creator told The Post Millenial last week. “…The average parent doesn’t want their six-year-old to be taught about pansexuals.”

“Libs of Tik Tok” knew Twitter’s penchant for censoring its political enemies would eventually catch up to it. The account’s creator foreshadowed as much not long after Twitter censored The Babylon Bee, Charlie Kirk, and even Federalist Senior Editor John Daniel Davidson for simply stating that men are men.

The left has waged a war on parents, tradition, religion, and conservatism but their attempts to change the culture by brainwashing kids will not go unnoticed by “Libs of Tik Tok.” Without that account, much of the delirium cursing our institutions, especially public schools, would stay behind closed doors because the left doesn’t want parents to know how they are using their children as political pawns.
