Comments by "King Ace" (@kingace6186) on "Why is Marie Antoinette so controversial? - Carolyn Harris" video.
5:08 "An example of the public's appetite for smearing prominent women with their own fantasies and frustrations." Then the cut to the guy holding a "Lock Her Up" sign. That is absolute gold right there. It crazy how incredibly accurate that concluding defense was.

While she was no saint or hero, Marie Antoinette (and even Louis XVI) were made into scapegoats to showcase the French Revolution as a righteous cause. In fact, the very last King Louis even tried (in vain) to reform the country, but that fact didn't fit into the revolutionary narrative. Their damning sin was not being able to save a collapsing kingdom that had already started collapsing long before they were born.

@P.eac.h 37 is incredibly young, donut. If your mother died at only 37 years of age, that would be a tragedy.
