I feel like this is giving them a bit too much credit, it’s pretending like they had the dignity to be indignant in the first place. In reality Nicholas had no idea what was going on, his last moments weren’t begging in powerless rage. His last words were literally “what?.. What?”.
I feel like most people like to portray the romanovs like they were from game of thrones, when in reality it was a lot more like if Buster or Gob from arrested development ran a totalitarian empire.

Nicky had a lot of “kill them all, bring me their heads” moments.
I think that’s par for the course for most fail sons in situations where they are in it over their heads.
The kids were the hardest to kill. all the jewelry sewn into their clothing stopped a lot of the damage from the initial rain of bullets, so their deaths were the hardest of all. That seems like a metaphor or something.
This is a copied right-wing meme, from the art to the flippancy with human life to the lack of substance beyond “u mad?”. Why are we copying them? You don’t fight fire with fire, etc.
A socialist meme would clown on reactionaries who pearl clutch about the Romanovs while ho-humming countless workers’ deaths, or clown on the historical ignorance of what would have happened had they made it out alive, or contrast this with Puyi.
I also don’t like wojacks but, to be fair, this is shitposting.
And it’s pretty funny.
The child is just done with it.
