      even if this song was in support of the Jacobites (and it isn't) the Jacobites believed in a unified britain they just wanted a catholic king in charge along with that divine right of kings nonsense that didn't care for democratic (for that time) parliaments. They essential preferred dictatorship over having a protestant king.

      This song is about Jacobites not Jacobins, and the Jacobites were monarchists who wanted to restore the Catholic House of Stuart to the British Throne following the glorious revolution. The Jacobins were a french revolutionary political club who sought to establish a strong centralized state founded on Republican ideals of Liberal Democracy.
      Neither of which accurately describe the Capital Hill Organized Protests. Which was formed to oppose police brutality in Seattle following the brutal suppression of peaceful demonstrations following the murder of George Floyd by four police officers.
