[Image Description: Patrick not my wallet meme reading:
It's easier to destroy than to Create Yup
And rome wasn't built in a day Correct
and millions would die with even a brief stop of the support of modern infrastructure that would be bad
so we should work to improve the system we have we need a glorious revolution]

what's crazy to me is that tankies, in all their glorious revolution talk: ACAB, eat the rich, no one with money can be moral... not a single thought is given to the "after." do they honestly think that the leaders of their "glorious" revolution won't come out of it disgustingly rich using heavy police tactics to control dissent themselves? or dead if they don't dance to that music?

Who really knew what evil lurked in the heart of men?
ME.
Who knew what sane men were capable of?
STILL ME, I鈥橫 AFRAID.
Vimes glanced at the door of the last room. No, he wasn鈥檛 going in there again. No wonder it stank here.
YOU CAN鈥橳 HEAR ME, CAN YOU? OH. I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT, said Death, and waited.

"That's a nice song," said young Sam, and Vimes remembered that he was hearing it for the first time.
"It's an old soldiers' song," he said.
"Really, sarge? But it's about angels."
Yes, thought Vimes, and it's amazing what bits those angels cause to rise up as the song progresses. It's a real soldiers' song: sentimental, with dirty bits.
"As I recall, they used to sing it after battles," he said. "I've seen old men cry when they sing it," he added.
"Why? It sounds cheerful."
They were remembering who they were not singing it with, thought Vimes. You'll learn. I know you will.

"You'd like Freedom, Truth, and Justice, wouldn't you, Comrade Sergeant?' said Reg encouragingly.
'I'd like a hard-boiled egg,' said Vimes, shaking the match out.
There was some nervous laughter, but Reg looked offended.
'In the circumstances, Sergeant, I think we should set our sights a little higher--'
'Well, yes, we could,' said Vimes, coming down the steps. He glanced at the sheets of papers in front of Reg. The man cared. He really did. And he was serious. He really was. 'But...well, Reg, tomorrow the sun will come up again, and I'm pretty sure that whatever happens we won't have found Freedom, and there won't be a whole lot of Justice, and I'm damn sure we won't have found Truth. But it's just possible that I might get a hard-boiled egg."
Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

Tired of thinking critically? "Woke" and "critical race theory" just a little too fashy for your tastes?
Why not try
"Glorious Revolution!"
Shuts down conversations and brains faster than a Windows update!
Observe!
"You're only saying that because you want a Glorious Revolution! That means you don't care about human beings and want them to DIE!"
"I was objecting to a genocide..."
"Well, you CAN'T! OUR DEMOCRACY PROVIDES NO SAFE, LEGAL WAY FOR YOU TO REGISTER YOUR OBJECTION! VOTE FOR A PRO-GENOCIDE CANDIDATE OR MURDER THOUSANDS FOR YOUR REPREHENSIBLE POLITICAL VIEWS!"
"Jesus. What?"
"Your Glorious Revolution isn't gonna happen! Go sell murder someplace else!"
Try it today! And tomorrow! And again, and again, and again...
Glorious Revolution! In Your Mind, It Works!
#glorious revolution#boy i sure do love when a bunch of individuals start using exactly the same term in exactly the same way#that's not at all like a hive mind horror flick#that indicates people are thinking clearly and making real good decisions#four legs good two legs bad ya know?#i really gotta put the feed down#thanks a lot tankies do you see what you did?#you scared the hell out of the other authoritarians that's what#look at them they've got anxiety

King William III and His Worst Nemesis
(Who was as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning)
Mural in Belfast, image by Yamen, via Wikimedia Commons.
So, I noticed something. This is the Loyalist Sandy Row mural in Belfast. It features William III, the royal cypher of William and Mary, some decorational elements such as the crown, orange lily and representations of soldiers of the Williamite army and... this font (set in bold on the mural):
The British designer Bob Anderton designed ITC Blackadder in 1996, basing the name off the hit historical comedy TV series, and having taken inspiration from from ornate examples of 16th century handwriting in general, added a certain eerily trembling je ne sais quoi drawn from the post-torture signatures of Guy Fawkes:
Clearly however, his most prominent source of inspiration was the first appearance of Edmund, the Black Adder on British TV screens in 1983:
And here for comparison, The Black Adder in Anderton's ITC Blackadder:
The font used in the first series did not reappear throughout the series; seasons 2, 3 and 4 used different designs that aimed to immitate the artistic style or if you will, 'vibe', of the period it is set in:
But why am I telling you all this? And where does the Sandy Row mural tie into it all?
Well, in the intro to Blackadder the Third, we see this book on the shelf:
Clearly alluding to the Jacobite Rebellions of 1715 and 1745, the intro implies that one of the Blackadder-incarnations must have been de-throned in the Glorious Revolution, with subsequent generations attempting to reclaim the throne, leading to said rebellions.
In the Blackadder-universe, it is thus all but established, James II did not exist. In his place, a Blackadder must have reigned (they do have royal blood going back to the Plantagenets after all, and the existence of Blackadders throughout the centuries implies that Prince Edmund, the "Black Vegetable", must have had offspring, however (il-)legitimate) and been dethroned by William III, presumably jointly with whoever the Blackadder family-equivalent of Mary II was.
TL;DR: most of the writing on the Sandy Row William of Orange mural is designed in the font of William's (fictional) enemy, a late 17th century member of the Blackadder family.
Now please, will someone be so kind and give me that spin-off? Two somewhat unpleasant, cynical, manipulative little men in huge dark wigs scheming against another anno 1688? And this time, Blackadder actually succeeds in his designs and takes the throne? Pretty please?
Here, I even prepared a chart:
