Thread 18126582

This guy beheaded the king, suspended Parliament, ruled using direct military rule, died and everything was gone after his son deserted the throne. One might be tempted to ask, in rhetorical fashion, what the fuck is this guy's legacy? Is there anything he did that remained?

Tell me, Lord Protector, if you can: you have destroyed so much — what is it exactly that you have created? Can you name even one thing? I thought not

He was the proto-chud
Hated fun, nobody understands whats his endgame, 0 charisma

His corpse. Lol

Being a good goy

he fucked the british monarchy irreparably, cemented the political ascent of the bourgeois class and entrenched protestantism even further.

i genuinely have no clue why people think cromwell was a good person for england

>>18126582 (OP)
lol, who even cares? King Charles I fucked around and found out.

>>18126664
Not really. Charles II was both a crypto-Catholic and unapolegetic absolutist and this was years after Charles I was executed. It was the Glorious Revolution that dramatically shifted Britain's political future, not Cromwell. Cromwell really was a total failure because absolutely everything he did was undone by the Restoration.

Yeah and then Charles II was restored and had many of the men that killed his father tortured and executed so brutally that even he was sickened watching it. So I guess they fucked around and found out too.

>>18126697
Because he was, which is blatantly obvious if you're not a midwit who only knows him from the memes and you have even the most basic understandings of what was happening in post-Elizabethan England

This is a low-IQ post even by /his/tard standards

>mfw Cromwell wasn't even present in Parliament in the months leading up to the Charles' beheading because he was busy putting down the rebellious Welsh
>still gets all the blame
Why is /his/ such an ahistorical board?
