that's just a royaltyslop version of the great male renunciation. we can go better once we get the guillotines

I'm not going to ignore fancy royal shit. I want to embrace it. I want to normalize fancy shit as a way for people to build a unique and definable personal fashion statement. The rich like it because it's inaccessible to the hoi poloi and the poors.

I want to infringe on their culture. Appropriate it for us normal people. Make the fashion of the rich pivot to something minimal and encourage them to really pull back because there is nothing they can do except spend more to get less. I want to rob the rich of all their comforts starting with how they see themselves.

Still better than a suit and tie. Also the guillotines got us into this situation in the first place. (Not that I want the kings back, just some of their fashion)

didn't the Great male renunciation started by British royalty? seems like guillotines could have saved us.

Beau fucking Brummel.

I thought that it was after the French decided that their kings were to pompous and started wearing military outfits (after the king mysteriously disappeared). I could be wrong tho, the British royals could use some less gold.

thought it started with Victorian England. I'm too tired to double check or get in a rabbit hole right now. either way the guillotine is worth a try
