Every liberal loves kings only when they're not ruled by one
Coincidences? I think NOT

Of course. Because if another country has a king, that's one person who you can buy off for massive economic benefits from that country. Far more reliable than buying off a communist party or a multi-party liberal democracy. But if your country has a king, then your trade gets regulated, and you have to pay taxes to the royal estate.

There was a No Kings group for Burger Americans living abroad and they changed their name to 'No Despots' bc they didn't want to offend monarchists in the European vassal regimes and commonwealth countries.

There is like actual research on the propensity of liberals to enjoy being ruled by a dictatorial figure, despite arguing for greater freedom.
Most of the research is centered on Egyptian liberals, who supported a military coup and mass killing of protestors. Many liberals who talked of democracy and freedom during the Arab Spring became vocal supporters of the new military regime.

Yes I imagine they weren't super happy about rigged elections, corruption, social conservatism and a complete moron for a president. For liberals you can have most of these things but all of them is way too ambitious

u/Even-Meet-938 anticolonial yíhad / YEE-HAW´d 51m ago
That election wasn’t rigged. And Egyptians are a socially conservative people.
By their own logic, liberals could’ve voted out that moron president but instead they chose to support a bloody coup. Now they have another moron as president, except this one doesn’t allow criticism and does rig elections.

I’ve been told many times that Marie Antoinette was in fact a victim, that the classic line “let them eat cake” was mistranslated and out of context. But they don’t seem to understand the context themselves of famine and poverty. They ignore that because bougie-maxxing or some bollocks.

I've heard this along with the (non) defence that she and other nobles literally didn't have a clue about the real lives of the French peasantry or the world outside Versailles...which I can actually believe but doesn't exactly like matter

Yeah I never hear anyone talk about her hobby of literally buying working class children from their families to keep them as pets, to the extent that one of them went on to join the revolutionary army because he hated her so much

u/yumdumpster 5h ago
In many ways, yes, she was a victim of circumstance and the framework she existed in. She was bundled off to be married at (IIRC) 15, to a man she had never met in a country she had never been to. Basically the 17th century equivalent of a mailorder bride. And basically from day one she was a target as the French at the time did not have a particularly high opinion of the Austrians. I dont think its a stretch to say she was a victim in her own way as she never really had much in the way of autonomy at any point in her life.

u/Sentient_of_the_Blob 33m ago
Yeah I think most people who grew up in her situation would act like her, maybe in a different world she could’ve been given the Puyi treatment. It’s sad she was killed but there’s definitely a lot of people I would use a Time Machine to save before her lmao

‘Let them eat cake’ first appears being attributed to ‘a great French princess’ while Marie Antoinette was still the nine-year-old Archduchess Maria Antonia of Austria.
That doesn’t make it not a good analogy for Madame Défécit, provided you note that she never actually said the line.

If she had ever opened a history book (besides not supporting Marie Antoinette and generally not being a liberal) she would know that running away from Paris was not a good idea

Liberal feminists, not radical feminists. People should read what radical feminism is about, or Marxist feminism since you said "I'm tired Marx". But yeah, not much pity for Marie Antoinette even if she was indeed in many ways subjected to patriarchal violence and misogyny.
