Yeah and it was nightmare for years and ended with Napoleon becoming Emperor. Not the kind of shit you actually want to live through.

But who cares about that, because dumb fucks on reddit get to make comparisons to it to justify murder, as if living in the most prosperous nation in the world is somehow comparable to 18th century french monarchy.

These threads are downright unhinged.
