He trashed France because the French weren't interested in him publishing his books without censorship.

I'm pretty sure French as we now it today wasn't even a thing back then. You had regions with their own language and culture.

Or with their own laws. Was it Voltaire who said "when you travel through France, you change legal codes more often than you change horses?"

He got booted out of France because he spoke up in a theater, some noble told him to zip it, Voltaire roasted him for being a noble, a duel was arranged but instead of the nobleman showing up to fight some lowborn peasant it was some guards ready to arrest him.

He went to England because he's literally the nigger who won't shut the fuck up during a movie.

Which is why he favored free speech... until Rousseau started writing things he didn't like. Then suddenly he's the biggest supporter of censorship.

I think it was Montesquieu. You know, someone who actually knew what he was talking about because he was a judge and a historian, and not just some celebrity famous for his witty sayings?

Montesquieu was also a fan of the English system but, as the Federalist Papers pointed out, the way he described the English system was nothing like how it was in reality. Chances are he did this on purpose, to lend his own agenda legitimacy without being persecuted for being a revolutionary. I think nobody ever bothered censoring l'esprit des lois because of that.

Classic Voltaire
