Either way, I am sad.

Broke: reading Nietzsche about taking a whip when going to women.
Woke: reading Bachofen about how bands of warlike maidens killed men and founded matriarchal societies.
Meh. Amazons are kind of overrated. I would prefer to see a dictatorship led by prissy Victorian schoolmarms.

What will the 2020s hold?

His reformist and modernist tendencies undermined his conservative support base, and the reformists and modernists were nationalist republicans who would never support a foreign monarch. Good man but taking the crown from the Mexican conservatives was a bad call, admittedly he was duped, they pretended like they had widespread popular support but never did.
Also aligning with Napoleon III on foreign policy was pretty much always stupid.
Napoleon III actually had some good domestic policies but his foreign policies were pants on head stupid, and he was a horribly unreliable ally.

Blasphemy has usually elicited less than positive responses from deities because it's an aberration from the natural order and deities, by their intrinsic nature, are deserving of veneration and respect. It's rather akin to lèse-majesté in more secular circles. I'm trying to think of a religion where blasphemy wouldn't have been met with disgust and anger. Remember that time Dionysus drove the king of Thebes mad and had him ripped limb from limb by the women of his family?
