      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
