You forget that the killing of corrupt nobles was the norm until the last couple centuries.
Also I love this notion that humans have become “better” than our ancestors when all evidence points towards to that just being false.
Humans are just as brutal and violent and stupid as ever. The only difference now is we have the resources and luxuries (depending on where on earth you live you might not even have that) that distract us enough to not kill each other over them. If you really think we wouldn’t immediately devolve into tribalism the minute those resources become scarce you’re fooling yourself.
