    An aside: This person was not meant to cosplay the joker and should really have gone for a more distinguished look: The Penguin.

    No it hasn’t, almost nobody in holland actually knows the story or cares.

    What is more, the de Witt brothers were more like moderate statesmen who were progressive and not even that rich in comparison. They were besieged by Orangist who were paid for and cheered by the King who wanted these progressives out of his way.

    So in all it was more like the rich setting up the poor to besiege the moderates ( and, yes, the lynching led to peasants actually taking bites)

      My kids learned about it in school. So I kind of figure that everyone who went to school in Holland knows about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
