     >The next day, a roll-call vote was carried out to decide upon the fate of the former king, and the result was uncomfortably close for such a dramatic decision. 288 of the deputies voted against death and for some other alternative, mainly some means of imprisonment or exile. 72 of the deputies voted for the death penalty, but subject to several delaying conditions and reservations. The voting took a total of 36 hours.[58] 361 of the deputies voted for Louis's immediate execution. Louis was condemned to death by a majority of one vote.

     @Bertpro2000 it is indeed BASED when you kill random people whose crimes are being related to someone. they shouldn't have stopped there, they should have killed every single person in France that would've been even more ultra based and cool

     @augustus It was a proto-maoist everyone getting too high on their ideological supply/believing everyone else was moment. Remember that the duke of orleans, the later king louis philippe also voted for the death sentence.

     reading about this guy's reign is just like a nightmare, every single bad wrong decision is made and he acts like a total smug effeminate pussy right to the very end

     @apropos @Bertpro2000 it was Malesherbes I posted about, and the reason they gave was conspiracy with Louis. probably weren't wrong given they were friends, but he was harmless at that point.

     @augustus @Bertpro2000 and remember, how evil was Louis XVI?
     so evil his executioners voted to execute only by +1 votes
     killing was therefore a very dubious thing to have done (so any collaborators, even less worth killing), or roughly half executioners were traitors to the cause. I imagine that 'traitors' is the explanation they went with with all these additional executions.

     @augustus I haven't read it in detail. How'd you like the part where he tells his Swiss guards to stand down and let the rabble take them?

     @faust he did that thinking it would put him in good graces with the Montagnards, and eventually they ended up killing him too. god it's such a dark comedy.

     @apropos >At that moment the battalions of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine arrived, and the reinforced insurgents pushed the Swiss back into the palace. Louis, hearing from the manége the sound of firing, wrote on a scrap of paper: "The king orders the Swiss to lay down their arms at once, and to retire to their barracks." To obey this order in the midst of heavy fighting meant almost certain death
     the absolute state of this guy
