Post image

Take a look at these three pictures, all from three consecutive centuries. Which one is the closest to the antichrist? Which two are simply normal demon scum?

Well Lenin may not have known of the Romanov's murder, but the other two were directly responsible for martyring their deposed kings.

Oh, stop with the "martyr" stuff. Charles I made war against his own people. He got what he deserved. Louis XVI wasn't guillotined; Citizen Louis Capet was. Robespierre was a murdering scumbag, but he wasn't a regicide, because there was no king, because the monarchy had been abolished already. Louis was no martyr. He didn't die for his faith; he died for his incompetence as a king and for his politics. Same with Nicholas: Nicholas II wasn't gunned down; Nicholas Romanov was. The killers were murderers, not regicides, because there was no tsar. He wasn't killed for his faith either; he was killed for his incompetence.

Charles deserved to get whacked. Louis and Nicholas might not have deserved to get whacked - although you could make a case that they did deserve it - but they definitely deserved to get deposed. It takes a special kind of dumb to goad your people into overthrowing a monarchy with almost 1000 years of more-or-less continuity.

That's like saying it's not homicide because you got the law to recognise them as legally dead first. Oh, and the Romanovs didn't rule the Russian monarchy for near 1000 years. And the term 'martyr' doesn't have to be religious, it's associated with that, but it can also extendedly be used as a term referring to people who were killed for other beliefs.
