>bro, the king, like, he's good, god chose him, it's like, his corrupt ministers whispering in his ear who are the problem maaaaaaaaaan. let's fuck up his corrupt ministers and bring him our grievances directly. then he'll see that we're on his side and he'll totally purge his corrupt government and abolish serfdom and all these punitive taxes on the peasantry.
<finally gets to meet his precious king
<gets beheaded
false conciousness is a bitch, innit? you see a similar mindset with the russian peasantry leading up to bloody sunday, when they brought nicholas that petition, or even MAGA retards in the USA who think if you elect an "outsider" (billionaire) you can "fight corruption" and "run the government like a business"
Why do people see the Monarch as their dad? In ancient Chinese peasant revolts they would very often invoke the name of the Emperor, the loss of the mandate of heaven was the nuclear option.
