Lmaooo I feel like I've never heard that one referred to by that name but Smedley Butler is a legend.

"Hey we're gonna overthrow the government and you're our guy to take over"

"Did I ask for that?'

Just casually being like, "Mmm, could you say that closer to the microphone?"

It's what I wanted to happen every time on CK when one ruler would start a plot to overthrow me by establishing someone that liked me as a new ruler. I'd be like "why are you cool with this bro" lol

Catharism - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

I also learned yesterday that there's a growing consensus upon historians that the Cathars were just fear mongering from the Catholics that were at the very least were embellished, but it seems pretty clear to me it was made up entirely lol I think it's one of those lies that just became accepted as truth until it became true. The last paragraph above is a summary of that theory, I can't believe people even entertain it could have been a real organization

There is academic controversy about whether Catharism was an organized religion or whether the medieval Church imagined or exaggerated it. The lack of any central organisation among Cathars and regional differences in beliefs and practices has prompted some scholars to question whether the Church exaggerated its threat while others wonder whether it even existed.
