Curiously this was an objective of the French Reign of Terror, to create consequences for an oppressive ruling class so dire it would make tyranny unthinkable. It didn't work in the short term (as demonstrated by the recurring piles of heads when the aristocracy forgot about the last batch.)
Of course, French history doesn't have oracles, but the Hellenists did, and still nobody listened to Cassandra.
