Diderot died five years BEFORE the start of the French Revolution, you ignorant wretch. He was a clever fellow, but not clever enough to comment on something that didn't happen until after his death.

If you're really looking for a Diderot quote that's more germane to this discussion, you'd have done better with, 'From fanaticism to barbarism is only one step'.

Very well, so he inspired the head chopping in the revolt with his writings.
Good thing that the French didn't go literally to the guts of their victims.
But I told peebo that I don't take orders from the French. Anyways; the revolution exposed how the west uses beheading when it needs to; then come cry the next day that it is barbaric.

And if its economical enough; they would go to the guts. Imagine if guts bring gold...

The French Revolution (and the associated head chopping) wasn't 'inspired' by Diderot. The Revolution would have proceeded apace if Diderot had never lived. If you would actually read Diderot, instead of a quote or two that fits your own barbarian goals, you'd have a better grasp as to what he was on about.

The French literally DID go to the guts of some criminals.  The guillotine changed all that.  Study up.

The West stopped beheading people because it IS barbaric.  Maybe one day the East will catch up.

Beheading has a long, LONG history, worldwide, before the Revolution took place.

You seem to be saying that it's barbarous for Western countries to execute people, but perfectly OK for other countries to do so. You may - just possibly - be an idiot.
