The French Revolution ETERNALLY BTFO by Baudelaire (pbuh)
>An appalling-looking man enters and looks at himself in a mirror.
>Why do you look at yourself in the glass, since the sight of yourreflection can only be painful to you?"
>The appalling-looking man replies: "Sir, according to the immortal principles of '89, all men are equal before the law; therefore I have the right to look at myself in the glass; with pleasure or pain, that is an entirely personal matter."
>In respect to common sense, I was certainly right; but from the point of view of the law, he was not wrong.

He is probably the most discussed French poet on here apart from Rimbaud, who is something of a meme figure.

I've started 90% of the Baudelaire and Rimbaud threads. They all die really fast sadly, but I'm trying to shill /lit/ into better taste. I wouldn't say Baudelaire and Rimbaud are highly discussed since all my threads die with less than 30 replies. I've tried several tactics to hook anons, but to no avail. Peterson, Zizek, /pol/, etc. threads fare far better. If it weren't for me though, these writers would probably have zero threads. OP is retarded though, only cares about Baudelaire for /pol/ shit and not the actual poetry. Sad to see.

There are a couple froganons I've talked to that say interesting things about Baudelaire, Hugo, Gautier, Mallarme, etc. I've written a bit about Baudelaire's poems too myself though I am not really qualified to do so.

Yeah, there are a few anons who have interesting stuff to say. The discourse almost never gets up 4channel autismspeak such as >>17061956 and >>17061243. I regret shilling these authors, casting pearls to swine. But I will continue shilling in the hopes that some smart anons will read them and not the dysgenic hordes on /lit/.

I don't remember exactly. Last year of elementary school we read and had to learn by heart the fables of La Fontaine. Middle school we began with Verlaine I believe. Two years in we read Molière, Baudelaire and Rimbaud. Then we started reading Hugo, Zola, Bradbury, the guy who wrote the french Antigone, and some others I can't recall rn

Baudelaire was an ultra-monarchist, he was descended from a long line of feudal landlords who were fucked up by the Jacobins and he was an avid reader of Joseph de Maistre

Who gives a fuck. Balzac was a legitimiste yet his writings inspired marx and engels, imagine being so shallow that you judge someone's art content by what they fucking identified as politically, or who their parents were. This is like watching a wagner opera and since wagner was antisemitic you become convinced that the whole opera is permeated with based redpills when in reality his genuine artistic content is totally antithetical to his affirmed political views.

Hahahhahahha. This is another episode of "guy with big bad opinion actually didn't have it at least during the microsecond he produced something great".
But more to the point, your argument is hard to apply to OP's when it is so explicitly directed at some specific event. You might have a point had OP randomly cited L'Albatros, but in the current situation you just look stupid.
