    Based take.

    I swear, if you could teleport some people back to the French revolution, they’d be like “No need to protest, the king will give up absolute power on his own if we keep asking nicely” 🙄

      The idea of a Right Wing literally exists because the deputies who thought that way in France back then took the right side of the chamber.

      The French Revolution is way more complex and nuanced than that, and saying the people protested against the power of the king per se is really missing the point.

      A better example would have been King Charles I and the English civil war.
