And Louis's and George's problem was the court/military overspending followed by overtaxing to make up the difference just like King John before them. Look peasant revolutions are like vampires. they are devastating but the only way they can come in is if the head of household fails to protects...

and yet these people would be nothing without the help of the masses. What gets them to jump on board. It's NOT that "they are a bunch of stupid sheep who don't realize how good they have it." there is a weakness either in the system or the society if not both. The stuff the US has going on...

And keeping things to the status quo is sure to doom them. It's darned if they do darned if they don't. Might as well go down in a blaze. I think you will find revolutionaries have more in common with school shooters than anyone else. At the point they are where they are they have nothing left...

Perhaps, but I say it's better to die a warrior's/martyr's death than to take it like a concubine. But I can only speak for myself I come from a few different prominent cultures known for not backing down and have military family members (an uncle, and both grandfathers whom are sadly no longer...

I'd argue it's a sub-catagory of one of the two above if not both. "I want what he has and I want it NOW!! (greed), I deserve it more than he does I can do some much more with it! (Vanity/Vain ambition)"

this is all well and good so long as the neo-reactionary leaders don't look out the window and go "There's land on them thier hills." vain ambition has a habit of destroying as much as (if not more than) it creates and once leaders eye that nice vineyard and suddenly decide that said vineyard...
