"let them eat burritos"
What's crazy is Mare Antoinette NEVER said "let them eat cake" that was pure leftoid slander but out "based" right wing media will happily defend lowering living standards as long as they can keep bussing in infinity migrants. Someday people will accept how much better monarchy was than modern democracy.
The line is actually "Let them eat brioche" which is a rich buttery bread, (some even drizzled with chocolate at my supermarket) but yes no hard evidence she actually said that but that was the rumour at the time.
The royal family wanted to help the peasantry and the middle class but the aristocracy effectively launched a soft coup and browbeat king Louis into not taxing them to pay for france's enormous debt, which made the aforementioned peasantry and middle class very angry.
Very sordid affair that was caused almost entirely by the nobility's refusal to do its job. It would have simply been another dynastic overthrow which happened all the time through europes history, however the american revolution had just happened, which gave the French other ideas. But it really ended up being another dynastic gambit anyways, because of napoleon.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
