Your most recent example is 13 years ago, then 18 years ago. Do you honestly think 3 assassinations in 20 years is making CEOs so the right thing? Cause it sure doesn’t seem like it.
those were off the top of my head, there’s definitely been more.
these events tend to happen in bursts. it starts with one dead tyrant. then there’s another. then there’s general mayhem for a short while. then order sets in again.
it’s a cycle as old as civilization itself.
(not to be confused with that bullshit cyclical history theory… it’s “a” cycle, not “the” cycle and it’s neither guaranteed, nor predictable, necessary, nor regular. just to preempt any confusion about that)
another example:
The Defenestrations of Prague (Czech: Pražské defenestrace, German: Prager Fenstersturz, Latin: Defenestratio Pragensis) were three incidents in the history of Bohemia in which people were defenestrated (thrown out of a window). Though already existing in Middle French, the word defenestrate is believed to have first been used in English in reference to the episodes in Prague in 1618 when the disgruntled Protestant estates threw two royal governors and their secretary out of a window of the Hradčany Castle and wrote an extensive apologia explaining their action. In the Middle Ages and early modern times, defenestration was not uncommon
