Her husband also got disconnected. A lot of French nobles who asked and collaborated with their foreign relatives to wage war on their people to repress them also got disconnected.
Sure and so did a bunch of innocent people as well as other revolutionaries, while other aristocrats survived. The killings were at times quite indiscriminate.
My point was that Marie Antoinette wasn't particularly more detached than the aristocracy in general, that she bore almost no personal blame for the catastrophic situation before the revolution and that she was hated basically from the moment she came to France due largely to anti-Austrian sentiment. The vitriol to which she was subjected during the revolution was not exactly proportional to anything grounded in facts.
Yep. People always think that the aristocracy of old was different. No, they were just normal people like anyone else who were just directly born into narcissist privilege and lived their lives out-of-touch right from their childhood on. The tech execs, investors, VCs, and shareholders have grown into the same narcissism after attaining that kind of privilege. With enough time in that privileged, disconnected, narcissistic world, they just develop the same behavior patterns and 'disconnect'.
People criticize the French Revolution for the execution of nobility, but their level of disconnect was at a "Send letters to your foreign aristocrat relatives asking them to come to your country to massacre your people to put them in their place and collaborate with them to do that" level.
Its amazing to see the disconnect of the modern nobility nearing those levels...
