    Hey the french revolution was also about the fact that the government was a scandal ridden shitshow of petty internal politics and stupid interpersonal games.

    …oh no, Bastille day approaches huh?

      tbf, most of nobility for centuries before that was a scandal ridden shitshow of petty internal politics and stupid interpersonal games. i quote 13th century italy as a nice example.

      yet that didn’t lead to revolution.

      so, in 18th century france, where’s the difference?
