    That’s putting so many things on one axis

    It puts very little on one axis. No kings or Kings. Originally that was literally a question of how people wanted the French revolution to go.

      The French revolution wasn’t that simple. Read up on Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, and how he pushed the assignant and destroyed the French economy

      It’s never that simple. Life, and how humanity organizes itself, is always far more complicated

          Neat way to reduce a complicated situation to something simple. No deeper lessons to be learned

          Thinking takes effort. It’s easy to spout platitudes

            Then do some thinking. You’re clearly not processing what’s being said. A whole bunch of different people with different beliefs that believed in No Kings all literally sat on the Left side of the room. A whole bunch of people who believed in kings and tradition sat on the Right side of the room. Literally. Physically sat there on different sides of the room. How complicated is that?

              Some guy came out of nowhere and invented a new currency. One based on ideas that couldn’t work

              The nobles on one side said “we have to maintain the status quo, despite that being impossible”. The nobles on the other side said “we have to accept our financial losses and find a new way forward”

              There were no other groups in the room. They were all nobility

              And the whole thing went on until the starving peasants broke in and brought out the guillotines

              It was not simple. It never is. What is simple is the sanitized version fed to the masses to placate them
