Well, The show must go on…

The American revolution might be the exception that confirms the rule, since the new regime (Congress and the President) seem to have not persecuted, legally or extra legally, any Americans or their allies who fought against Britain after the war was won. I at least could not find any examples of this. Benedict Arnold doesn’t count since he did, beyond any doubt, commit treason against the revolution and rightfully was persecuted for his actions.

Cromwell’s station in the revolution of Parliament against king Charles was very minor during the first half of the civil war. But he rose to prominence and thereafter many of his former allies were persecuted (with the exception of lord Thomas Fairfax).

Castro persecuted many of his former allies after Batista was ousted from Cuba, including Manuel Urrutia Lleó and Huber Matos Benítez (and also maybe Camilo Cienfuegos Gorriarán, since his accident happened during a very convenient moment)…

Stalin. REALLY??? He had Trotsky killed two continents away and more communist party members died because of him than because of the Tzar!

As all revolutions always do

You just awakened a sad memory from 30 years ago… I wanted to record a movie I saw in the TV programme magazine but it started after midnight and I should have used the next day’s date :-(

This is some Black Mirror shit right here.

Thank you for the cool information!

This interaction made me feel like I was reading a comment in Reddit 10 years ago, I’ve missed that, thanks for that as well!

Maybe now we can get a good ending to Game of Thrones…
