1679: piracy is on the rise, King Charles is deeply unpopular

2024: piracy is on the rise, King Charles is deeply unpopular

@Dio9sys King Charles II was not “deeply unpopular” at all in 1679
@Arcana He literally dissolved parliament multiple times out of a fear that he would be ousted when they realized his successor was catholic
@Dio9sys He dissolved a religiously intolerant parliament who were consistently undermining things

Next you’ll be telling me that Cromwell was good actually and referring to the relatively prosperous personal rule of Charles I as “the Eleven Years Tyranny”
@Arcana @Dio9sys No offense but you seem to be conflating "deeply unpopular" with "bad"?
@november @Dio9sys he wasn’t deeply unpopular at all though, parliament isn’t representative of what people find popular now, and it certainly wasn’t representative then either
@november @Dio9sys Also the OP definitely seems to be considering unpopular here as bad
@Arcana @Dio9sys all OP did was make a shitpost that a lot of people took weirdly personal
