The ones who killed the king were definitely not the same who submitted themselves to the emperor.

Yeah, I know, but it always make me laugh that next historical figure following Louis XVI is Napoleon 😅

Nah, you killed a king to replace him with…
…
something
…
that tuned to not be very good on practice, so the survivors replaced them with an emperor. That also turned to not be good on practice, but that one anybody could predict.
Anyway, the lesson is that you must make everybody agree to hold elections before you do your revolution. I guess somebody had to learn it for the first time.

Wait. So this didn’t change much? Weird
mkwt@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It changed a lot. Even if you ignore the stuff that happened between the king and the emperor, that emperor changed a lot. Massive legal reforms. Upended world order. Etc. Etc.

Yes
Go to horny jail
No. Punishing horniness is some American style puritanism horse shit that we have no need for in Europe.

Some would (erroneously) claim that dying in the moment is better than being distracted by apps while being beheaded 🤷🏻
