      Well yes but they’re also spiteful; if I recall history correctly, the disenfranchised elite in France during the Revolution sought refuge in neighboring territories and then hired mercenaries and private armies to try to return and recapture their villas.

      So it’s not like “they just flee”, their egos are too damn large to remain in quiet wealthy exile.
