Hey, Chill Zone, believe it or not, Marie Antoinette did actually say the whole let them eat phrase. However, she didn’t say let them eat Cake but let them eat Brioche. For context, Brioche, which is a very good type of bread, but was both expensive and rare at the time; thus, only nobility usually had it. Most bread that was available to anyone who wasn’t nobility was basically crap, given how almost all dough available to anyone who wasn’t a Noble was mixed with SAWDUST to make more bread while saving costs at the expense of the satisfaction and wellbeing of its consumers.

Sawdust? That's brutal !!!

[@primary2630]

Lol a cheap flour I guess

[@Hastur_the_Great]

She, in fact, never said that, this quote is actually taken from 'Confessions' by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and has been wrongly attributed to the queen. In the collective imagination, Marie Antoinette would have pronounced this sentence on October 5, 1789, when Parisians came to complain about the increase in the price of bread under the windows of the king and queen at Versailles. In his work, the philosopher of the Enlightenment, to mock the disconnection of a "great princess" with the people who lack bread, makes her say: "Let them eat brioche !". But Rousseau never names this "princess", and this line has been wrongly attributed to Marie-Antoinette. Moreover, The Confessions were written by Rousseau between 1765 and 1770, when the queen was between 10 and 15 years old. The first volume was published in 1782, the second in 1789. Difficult, therefore, for Jean-Jacques Rousseau to have been inspired by the queen for his work and his "princess".

@@Hastur_the_Great Ah well, now that is something new to me but to receive such information is a gift to my Aetherum most welcome indeed. As such you have my thanks

[@jackdelane]

Throughout the 1800s you also see chaulk, alum, and rotten flour mixed in for good measure

[@SkethMess]

I love Oversimplified!!!

[@nikot.9920]

More oversimplified video reactions please, my favorite salamander. Love the content as always brother.

[@adeptuschadstartes9381]

bro after the french revolution u should watch the napoleonic wars

[@hadesdogs4366]

It’s basically a social gathering for the upper class who gets to decide what type of hats people are allowed to wear

[@Maysy787]

You deserve way more fans and attention your are very knowledgeable and talented and I honestly learn something new every time I watch your videos🤣

[@Ulas_Aldag]

Wow I learned so much through your additional information. What a pleasant surprise this video is

[@giottocook6512]

The clip that we see at 14:22 is actually an exerpt from one of my favorite movies (i was born and live in France) called "La Classe Américaine", which is essentially a bunch of clips from various old movies reconstituted and then dubbed to basically create a parody of "Citizen Kane", it's one of the absolute funniest movies ever, though if you can't understand french, it can be very hard to get the humour.

[@leurunner4764]

The tax on windows, aka lighting tax, actually was a thing. If you had more than 2 or 3 windows, that was an extra tax.

[@brothercaptainaurelian1386]

Pls do some videos from Overly Sarcastic Productions. Some of the History ones or maby the trope Talk on Grimdark, if you want to have a connection to your Warhammer 40k Conntent.

[@hmmmooops]

Never forget that after the terrorist attack on Notre Dame, they rebuilt it using the in-game version from AC Unity.

[@dermihandro]

Apreciate the love for AC Unity! I really enjoyed that game, especially the Coop. Also didn't know you speek fluent french! I mean how many languages do you speak? 3? 4? Even more? Respect!

[@IlluminatedWolf]

i believe he said in another video that he speaks english, french, can understand spanish, and speaks his native language (unsure of it's name)

[@Marias.Icerunner]

I just had to google Taco Bell Crunch Wrap Supreme as we don't have taco bell in sweden and gosh dang it they are big! Yeah that enough to feed a whole nation!

[@stighgel9393]

Du bor i Danmark, studerer i Danmark, og dog har jeg først fundet din kanal i dag, og det jeg synes er dummeste ved det er at jeg skulle finde dig gennem en indisk kanal, hvilket måske er fordi du snakker engelsk i dine videoer, og fordi jeg også er mere interesseret i historie, så muligt det er derfor. Men du er en person der har intelligensen på sin side, så vil helt sikkert se flere af dine videoer, jeg er dog måske lidt selektiv omkring hvilke, men du gør det godt så bliv ved. 👍

[@geraltdelautreriv]

Is part 2 coming soon?

[@hadesdogs4366]

HAVE YOU NOT SUBSCRIBED TO THIS CHANNEL AND HIT THE BELL ICON FOR MORE NOTIFICATIONS? There’s a tax for that🤣🤣😂

[@hadesdogs4366]

I’m sorry but are you crying yup there’s a tax for that

[@Kingneo0053]

comment for the algorithm

[@mattroxursoul]

So if I was rich enough I could make people watch me bed someone? Life goals I guess.

[@cegesh1459]

I mean "God send the king" you have to obey is from the Bible. It's a silly cult.

[@hadesdogs4366]

What I find ironic about America is that they’re all about this NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION nonsense AND YET THEY HAVE THE IRS🤣😂😂😂

[@mattroxursoul]

There are representatives though. We get to vote for the useless people every couple years

[@MrElath]

You, you've heard of the House of Representatives right?

[@Ami14120]

U might wanna read the 2nd part of that phrase

[@mikicerise6250]

This is only ironic if you're Puerto Rican. ;)

[@bunnygarustudios6969]

Yo mah man for when part 2
