Nuance is the first thing to go when the masses stir up

I think of The Cultural Revolution decade in China (1966-76) and how the Cultural Revolution shaped modern day China, I think of Jean-Paul Marat (1743-1793) and his role in French Revolution / Montagnard faction and death

(H/t @gilles recent cast about Kintsugi)

Yeah I don’t think it’s as black and white as all nuance is gone - tumultuous times is the has tons of nuance - ofc multiple books can be written on French Revolution/ cultural revolution 

Example of destruction of nuance that comes to mind: The campaign to destroy the Four Olds (破四旧立四新)
