Yeah, no, no, she's great. No negative notes on Sophie. In 1898, there were these food riots in Italy, and the government was like, well, a specific general was like, why don't we just murder the entire crowd that's rioting? And so they did that. And when people think food riots, they usually think like, oh, everyone lost their mind and was running around and burning things or whatever.

These were organized strikes that were met with lethal force. At least 80 protesters and two soldiers were killed. Jesus. And so King Umberto I What did he do? And everyone at the time was like, oh, the king is the true, you know, a lot of like populism is based on the idea that the government's bad, but the king's good.

Yeah. No, totally. Yeah. We see this again and again. And so I think everyone was kind of expecting Umberto to come in and be like, well, you probably shouldn't have done that. Oh, I did promise you more than one Umberto, and this is one of them. There's going to be another one probably on Wednesday. But what Umberto I did is awarded the guy who ordered the Massacre a Medal of Honor.

And Catano Bresci, he didn't like that. He was living in New Jersey with Sophie. He'd started an anarchist paper with some folks, and he'd put up a fuckton of money to start that paper. It was like 200 bucks at the time, which is like several thousand dollars now. He didn't want anyone else to get in trouble for what he decided to do, so he didn't tell anyone. He didn't tell Sophie.

He just told her he had to go deal with some stuff like family stuff in Italy. He didn't tell his comrades. He went into the newspaper and said, hey, all that seed money I put in, I need it back now. And they were like, why? And he was like, not your business. Give me my money back. And so everyone kind of thought he was a sellout and he was just like getting his money to go fuck off, right?
