Taking advantage of an underclass then having that underclass threaten to guillotine you... Seems like it just went from French to French... Whole scenario is French.

Taking advantage of an underclass

I don't know the way things are going here in the United States I think it might be time to start rolling out the guillotines.

It's worth pointing out that the guillotine was primarily used to terrorize the poor commoners, not nobles (who had already fled the country by that point.)

Also many leaders of the revolution were capitalists bourgeois who found it unfair that nobles had more power than them by birth right. Analphabetic people with close to no news access didn't care that much about politics. Some far left fantasy that French revolution was led by peasants against capitalist is really ironic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourgeois_revolution
