The French never quite knew what they were fighting for -- it was a future none of them had ever seen, which never really worked.
The only two successful "Revolutions" in history were of the English.
One, the American Revolution, simply re-established the rights of Englishmen that were in place during the period of "benign neglect" preceding the imposition of royal interference. The national government grew and changed over the centuries, but never very quickly (despite Wilson and Roosevelt.)
Two, the Glorious Revolution, which simply re-established the primacy of the well-established English Parliament, along with a constitutional monarch who knew that he ultimately served at the pleasure of that parliament, not the other way around.
The French, Russians, Chinese, etc, were always mucking about with completely novel forms of government, none of which had any track record at all.
It's no wonder they were such disasters.

@robyn7287 Well, of course, Matt has ambitions of being a Theocratic Dictator. He's very upfront about that. ;)
Matt's "dictator" mode is extremely amusing when he's doing it as a joke, but it's also very inspirational when he's addressing subjects upon which there should really be no debate, like butchering children.
It's good to have bedrock values like that, and it's not surprising that a place like Daily Wire has a commentator that has opinions too strong to be a good interviewer.
Klavan, Shapiro, and Knowles are all flexible enough to conduct a fairly mainstream kind of interview. Peterson too, almost.
When Matt interviews, you get movies like "What is a Woman" and "Am I Racist". The whole point is, that the person he's talking to is just profoundly wrong.
