Yeah, the murder (and partial consumption) of the brothers De Witt was more or less the January 6th of the Dutch golden age. It's part of the reason why The Netherlands is a monarchy now rather than a republic. (Admiral is a pretty good movie about what was going on politically.)

But eat the rich, and all that!

Parliamentary democracy with proportional representation, affordable healthcare, affordable education, great roads and infrastructure with lots of cycling lanes, shops near homes, better labour laws, more vacation days, maternity leave, social safety net, less gun violence, police trained in de-escalation, affordable phone and internet plans, more affordable healthy food options, more egalitarian culture, none of those pesky hills or mountains, surrounded by countries that make good beer.
