on a scale of ides of march to the shinzo abe thing, how unsuccessful to successful was your own assassination attempt on a nation's leader
#personal#ides of march#i think it's time to admit that for all the good intentions the ides was lowkey an exercise in incompetence#'what if we kill this guy who is really popular with the people and seen as one of them and their protector'#'while we ourselves are super rich men in charge of government who are unilaterally taking the law into our own hands'#'surely this cannot backfire wait what do you mean the populace is angry at us'#'what do you mean his literal teenage heir is now on a revenge quest about it who could have foreseen this turn of events!'#everyone. everyone could have foreseen. y'all kinda beefed it. bungled it. fucked up.#like the shinzo abe thing was basically just 'yeah ok you know what the assassin is right let's follow all their things'#the ides literally led to the rise of augustus which led to the rise of his autocratic single person empire#which ended up leading to the entire concept of monarchy in the western world#'we are doing this to save democracy!' congrats you kinda killed the concept of democracy in your corner of the world for the next 2000 yea#*years
