Jean-Paul Marat

Changing the world without leaving my bathtub.. 🤪

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

June 1793: You all know abt my outings of ppl, the nationalistic appeal I promote to the #fatherland and #liberty... but I begin to worry that #dangerous publications may start circling. Is it important to resist oppression? Yes. But can this all too quickly go to one’s head? Yes

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

August 1792: Wow couldn’t be more stoked about the increasing popularity among L’Ami du Peuple. This revolution is taking a bloody turn, heads are rolling, Jacobins are rising 🤩 #power #brave #resistance

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

Aug 1792: What a #great day it is for Jacobins! The King has been arrested... and I’ve been #elected Deputy of Paris to the Convention?? I love life, couldn’t be more #passionate about France!! 🥳🤩🤪🥰 #Epic #Excited #Yass

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

July 12, 1793: Sorry revolutionaries, looks like Bastille day festival plans will be called off. I looked forward to attending it but it’d be better anyways to work on writings in the bath, my skin really needs it 🤧 I’m #proud tho this honorary day is still recognized. #BigWin!!

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

July 12, 1790: The Civil Constitution of the Clergy was just passed- big win for the Jacobins! The Catholic Church is more aligned with revolutionary values, and will definitely reduce #corruption 😎 #Cheers guys! #Church #Religion #State

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

April 20, 1792: Guys.. so we declared war on Austria annnd we’re not looking so good. I #strongly #advocate for a temporary #dictatorship to handle this very stressful #emergency, lest they shall soon invade us 😳🤭😨

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

April 7, 1792: Back from another few months of being exiled. Lafayette betrayed me-swore I should #die. He’s very petty, all I said abt him was that he’s too moderate 😒 anyways, thousands were left denfenseless w me in a prison cell, but I’m back w new publishes in my journal 🤗

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

Aug 7, 1790: Following my previous declaration to behead counterrevolutionaries, the National Convention sent me to a month in #prison. How #disgraceful, I’m just #StatingFacts and expressing free speech. I’m going into hiding to continue my campaign without the gov to #stop me🤫

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

July 1790: Attention readers!! If we just cut off 600 more heads or so, it will guarantee your freedom and happiness. This is the only #effective #measure that we can take. If humanity has blinded you towards not supporting this reality, millions more will die fighting.

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

July 1790: Just have to point out leaders like Marquis de Lafayette & Jean-Sylvain Bailly are taking far too moderate measures in the revolution. It’s all or nothing, we won’t get anywhere w/out radicalization!!!#émigrésRoyalistsMustGoDown. No foreign intervention on my watch 😎

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

April 1790: I’m back, after being forced to flee England following #backlash from my prior tweet. Surprisingly, my uproar against Necker only brought me more fame! Haha suckers you can’t stop the rise of #revolution. Read my newspapers everyone!! Stay tuned for more #mayhem 😈

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

Jan 1790: I really can’t bring myself towards respecting @JacquesNecker2. He’s an #ignorant baffoon and not responsible for managing our King’s finances. He’s the reason peasants are starving, and why we need reforms in the first place! Idc if y’all make me flee, I’m already out.

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

July 13, 1793: The lovely @ChrltCorday is coming today to bring me a list of names of #enemies of the people. Stay tuned on my newspaper, L’Ami du Peuple to see who they are! 😋#Freedom #Liberty #Equality #Fraternity

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

April 24, 1793: #ShotsFired by the #conservative Girondin faction 😨 But don’t worry, their party is falling apart after my political influences were ruled to be #innocent on the Revolutionary Tribunal. May France continue to be dominated by the #radical Montagnards!

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

Sep 1792: Ok, ok, ok, National Convention delegates, sit down. I’m here now to make #decisions and the best #reforms France has yet to see. Income tax? Yes. State-sponsored vocational training? Yes. List of names of counterrevolutionaries to be beheaded? OUI VIVE LA FRANCEEEE 😝

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

April 1792: Umm so the #Legislative Assembly just declared war on Austria and Prussia. Not sure about how I feel when we’re battling both ourselves and the rest of Europe at the same time. #Prioritization #FightingYourself

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

June 1791: Louis XVI tried escaping to Austria to flee from his throne, tried abandoning his country, and we still #respect his position as king? What is wrong with the National Convention- he should be disposed! This #traitor to the nation is #unworthy to remount the #throne!!!!

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

Oct 1789: Latest news de mon L’Ami du Peuple- the royal family forced out of Versailles, Bastille was a #success, the friends of the ppl #prevail, but the #enemies are getting upset. We must limit their power before they start fighting back when they see how strong we’ve become.

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

Aug 4, 1789: Today, feudal society is no more. The Declaration on the Rights of Man and the Citizen has been established. Let us see that the king's power be slowly stripped away, and not be penalized for writing #progressive tweets since the #FreedomOfSpeech speech protects us😇

[Jean-Paul Marat @JnpMarat]

June 1789: Listen gentlemen, I must #warn that our king cannot rehabilitate France. I've personally worked for him, and can easily conclude his indulgence w his own finances makes him disregard the needs of the ppl. We need a new #constitution and more #power to the third estate.
