Goddamn amazing episode. I'm starting to get the feeling that this is the true talent core of CTH. Don't go changin' for nobody, boys!

You know I wish I knew what the view counts were on these videos But man is it disappointing to see a series like this, That is genuinely enlightening and knowledgeable, getting destroyed by the number of comments some of these other episodes that are more just about pop culture. It's not that I don't enjoy the pop culture episodes But it does say something about people and what they want to consume

You mention the lack of language for opposing a monarch themselves among rebellious movements of this era. Interestingly we see that pattern break down in France in 1588. While the Catholic League's hatred of Henri had in previous years been euphemistically channelled at his 'degenerate' advisers who gave him terrible counsel and usurped their true social station. When Henri resolved on 23 December 1588 to assassinate the duke of Guise. The league pamphleteers took their gloves off Henri de Valois, as they now called him, (an interesting precursor to how the French revolutionaries would talk about 'Louis Capet' in 1792) was no longer their king, he was a 'sodomite' and 'hermaphrodite' incarnation of the antichrist who had ceded his right to rule them. There's some funny images from pamphlets of Catholic leaguers trying to escort him into the mouth of hell.

It seems like a similar sentiment about a good king with "degenerate" advisers was how Russian peasants at the turn of the 20th century saw their Tsar(s). In their minds, he was a good guy who loved the people--he just wasn't aware from his lofty throne of the dirty deals being done in the name of Russia. If only they could get in touch with him and show him all the wrongdoing being put upon them by sketchy administrators, he would make it right! The struggle of Leftists then was not to convince the peasants that they were being oppressed but to convince them that toppling the Tsar would be an appropriate solution. It just goes to show that parasocial relationships always end in disappointment--and sometimes bloodshed!
