Am I still allowed to feel bad for Marie Antoinette?
no lol, she deserved what she got just like every unrepentant royal does
the closest to sympathy i get for royals is feeling bad that the romanov children had to be executed, but that was a matter of pragmatism rather than justice
Yeah maybe the Romanov children could have just kept alive like that dude from China son of the Emperor.
perhaps, but it was an ongoing civil war where leaving one of them alive could have led to them being captured by the Whites which would have been a huge boon and rallying point for the disunited White movement. with Puyi it was different because the right KMT were republicans too and would have probably executed Puyi, especially since he had been a collaborator of the highest order with the Japanese. if he'd been captured by the enemy then it wouldn't have been potentially disastrous for the CPC in the way that capture of a Romanov by the Whites would have been for the Bolsheviks
eh, yeah. But the little shits were small, maybe they could have hide them in a wardrobe or something.
And they would always have been a problem. Unfortunately for them, when the benefits of being royalty run out, life sucks.
that is the risk you take when you run the country as a tyrannical hereditary monarchy. Your whole family becomes a problem.
