      Lol, you think the French Constitution magically drafted itself? That the guillotine got up and walked over to start writing the new rules like a fucked uo Frosty the snowman?

        The French aristocracy had no need for a new constitution until they started getting slaughtered wholesale. Without the guillotine, there was no pressing need for “the new rules”. Quite the contrary, “the new rules” were overtly harmful to their aristocratic lifestyle. They accepted “the new rules” because the alternative was worse.

          This bro literally thinks the French Aristocracy were coerced into writing their constitution…

          I have no words.
