We did have a pretty serious discussion about the Plagues this year, caused by Thing 2 asserting that they didn't understand why the Egyptians couldn't change their minds in the face of plagues. That Americans have just demonstrated in ample detail how resistant people can be to changing their minds in the face of an actual ongoing year-long plague was a little too on-point to ignore.
An awful lot of people object to various environmental catastrophes (ash blocking out the sun for weeks, water becoming undrinkable, massive crop failures) but don't have sufficient organization and power to fix the problem. Living in an absolute monarchy makes that sort of thing even harder.
