Well when “personal habits” add up they can make a huge difference; for example, if an entire town decides to overthrow the town and institute anarchy

I think the only people who were ever in the habit of overthrowing their ruler were the french

Something that occurs over multiple generations is not a habit, a habit is something you do in your everyday life. Revolutionaries all had this habit of revolutioning until revolution's done. The point I'm making is these are not "personal habits".

I agree. It was meant to be a joke about the french beheading that one ruler after the other during the french revolution ;)
