Am I still allowed to feel bad for Marie Antoinette?

[-] chlooooooooooooo@hexbear.net 1 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

no lol, she deserved what she got just like every unrepentant royal does

the closest to sympathy i get for royals is feeling bad that the romanov children had to be executed, but that was a matter of pragmatism rather than justice

Yeah maybe the Romanov children could have just kept alive like that dude from China son of the Emperor.

Henry Puyi was one of the weakest leaders of the 20th century. He had no will of his own and went whichever way the wind blew. He was such a loser he couldn't even get a girlfriend. They took him to a girls' high school where he picked one of the girls to be empress. He ended up not only serving the Japanese, but ended up sweeping the streets (the lowest possible occupation) after China's revolution. He didn't even have the sense to escape to a comfortable retirement like any tyrant.
