The German system was even more retarded and convoluted than it is now. It would basically be like Trump gaining the presidency because of a Biden EO.

What about no government whatsoever?

If you're sick or weak you lose

The party is not right wing. 'You' doesn't necessarily denote the party.

The real issue is the uniparty. Let's face it. Those billionaires who are out there pulling all the strings for this are corrupted. That includes Trump, Bezos, Musk, Gates, Buffet, Soros, the whole lot of them.  The commies showed up on Trump's inauguration day. They couldn't be touched, prosecuted, and the MSM did nothing in the way of notable coverage except to say they were nothing more than an idea.

Well, therew were several people in congress, most notably the'Squad', who were out there happily marching with and supporting that idea that was violent towards America in ways we haven't seen since the civil war. The MSM largely under-reported the violence, and mislabeled white supremacy as being the root cause, when, Antifa, BLM, and their ilk got away with murder.

Now, here's the rub. The old school democrats, like Hillary, were fighting the communist infiltration in their own party, and they swore up and down that Trump was in bed with the commies and had been for a long time. Funny how coincidentally the commies showed up the same time that he did. With their representatives in congress, and in the White House, plus, control of the media, and they could snow a large portion of the population with their BS because people believed them and mistrusted anything the conservatives were saying.  Mostly because they were supporting Trump, who, in their eyes, was a hard core leftist.

Any time the right resisted what was going on, they were quashed by the government, the media, and these loon job lefties who were willing to say anything, because they were actually convinced that we were the bad guys. The TV told them so. Their reps in Congress told them so. And Trump was too busy sticking his foot in his mouth every chance he got on twitter, which did nothing but reinforce everything they already believed.

As soon as you can imagine Trump actually in bed with the lefties, he and everything else that happened here bears a strange resemblance to the way that happened in Russia. His business ties. His eastern bloc wives. His TV career. Yeah, he was an actor too.  Plus, we know he paid off a lot of people in the democratic party when he was a democrat, and probably already had a lot of them in his back pocket well before any of this ever began. He then switched party's and bought some republicans as well.

Get this. Daily, everyone posts about this whole slide into communism here. In the same breath, they talk about how wonderful Trump was, and how he would fix everything. In fact, he's the only guy who can fix it. No one else. Every other conservative is a RINO on the payroll of the swamp.

But not Trump. He's not on anyone's payroll. Other people are on his. And people lap up his kool aid. They laugh about being blamed for the violence. They fail to realize that more than half the country believes it. The whole time, Trump's real goons, those untouchable commies out there who we're all imagining, are still getting away with murder. And everyone is lying to cover it up.

I wish it weren't true. I can't not believe it.

I hope it happens

I hope that lasts long enough for the last libertarian to get his head bashed in with the last surviving hard cover copy of Atlas Shrugged by some 85 that only never read Das Kapital because he reads at the average Baltimore Public High School level.

You will survive this chain of events because I know you aren't actually autistic, and will join me in the best private army ever fielded in the history of Fuedal war lords.

Lose to whom?


The government (by whatever name)

I'm going to use my recreational McNuke because the government violated the NAP

Nope.

I think "progressive" is a late 19th century/20th century term that doesn't really correlate to the left/right thing at all.  

I build your recreational McNuke with a fail safe. Launching it at my is just giving it back so I can sell it again.

Libertarians and LGBTQIA's+69 will disappear at the first hint of reality.

Return to Machiavellian

It took me a decade after completing a degree in Political Science to realize the only two pieces of required reading I was assigned that weren't absolutely batshit retarded were by Machiavelli and Hobbes.

B A S E D

So many thoughts...

The Enlightenment sewed the seeds of the existential crisis we face today, but was The Enlightenment, itself, a symptom of the inevitable decline of our civilization?  Oswald Spengler's magnum opus, "The Decline of the West," makes a strong case that it was.  I agree with him.

We have been collapsing for decades, and we will continue to do so.  The high water mark for Faustian man was probably 1914.  We are about to enter a new dark age, and there's nothing we can do to stop it.

That being said, much of liberalism is against nature.  The idea that "all men are created equal" is absurd.  Hierarchy exists in nature.  (Though inherited social structures are rare.)    The notion of a lion pride or wolf pack led by the weak is unthinkable.  There is no voting our way out of this, but the sooner our people realize that liberalism was flawed from the start, the sooner we can abandon the futile effort to "right the ship" and focus on strengthening our families and communities.

That's the opposite of what even liberals constantly repeat. I'm always hearing...

"The American left is just barely left of center when compared to Europe. AOC and Bernie would be considered center left."

@RustedAceI don't have time to read the thread, but I'm thankful someone else is finally starting to make sense.  There are a couple of brothers in Australia who apparently have the Plantagenet claim.

Do I get to keep what I kill? Also, is their an employer matching contribution to the loot pile?

People who ask these kinds of questions are NGMI. Gravity issue.

People who ask these questions very much GMI. Last I checked, boarding and pillaging is still a time honored tradition.

It's funny because it's true. Brodie btfo.

If you're asking questions you're still mentally under a failed paradigm. The future is for action, not politics. Questions are political by their very nature. Only weak men and women ask if they're allowed.

Locke wrote about a make believe world with a population of responsible intelligent adults, Hobbes met the general public.

Liftocracy is the answer

Is a Constutional Monarchy more or less conservative than an Absolute Monarchy?

THIS is the "right wing"

Imo it was really our first civil war, fought mostly in the back country by our committees of safety.

Than it would seem a good thing for GOA to work towards tightening up the state constitutional language.

If we ever get over the delusions of our current "the feds run everything, dur hurp" with the states getting off their knees, it'll need to be addressed.

You would be carrying the problem with you.

It looks back at every human when we look in the mirror.

Heads up, he's flat out wrong on calvinism. A common mistake.

Stuff like that is... well. No school should recieve any tax funds. No government should have any control of curriculums.

I'd also like a money tree that doesn't cause inflation too.

Less.   A conservative would say that the only "right" is the divine appointment by God of the king to rule.   No asterisk.  Full stop.

Constitutional monarchies place deliberate limits on the rights and powers of the king to rule.  Evincing the notion that his permission to rule comes not from God but from consent of the people.   The very notion of "government by consent of the governed" is liberal.

Private enterprise and free markets are liberal ideas too, for that matter.    A conservative would say that the land all belongs to the King by appointment of God.  You're just borrowing it at his leave.  Start a business?  Not without a royal charter you aren't.

IMO the vast majority of real Liberty comes from self control and conforming yourself to what is in reality morally good.

A people who are not self controlled and do not pursue being good will never have liberty, they will pursue anarchy, and stupidly think that being unrestricted is having liberty.  We see the wreckage of individuals, family, society, government, and the physical world because of this.

It is a goal.

You can't get an (edit)OUGHT (facepalm) from that is.

Biology can never tell you what ought to be.

That should have occured to you already.

The amount of conversations I have had with people like you, who are nothing but unapologetic and relentlessly uncompromising monarchists is staggering, so I won't indulge here....

But just because some people choose to believe in the efficacy of religiosity within the individuals running a secular government that has worked for hundreds of years in light of a changed world where no major country still practices a *functioning* theocracy or monarchy, I don't think naysayers to the timeless adage of 'moving on with the times' like you are going to convince any sizeable segment of the population to betray their patriotic ideals...

I have lots of conversations with people that will be moaning about their patriotic ideals throughout their entire struggle session and the last thing they say as they march into the ditch they get herded into is gonna be some uber cringe boomer posting about muh constitution.

I keep having them, because its lolz.

The amount of approval that a person has for the Passion Bearer Nicholas II is an excellent test of that person's character.

Miami, it was Jesus who democracy regicided.  Don't be so flippant on the subject.

The only appropriate rating

When I studied philosophy in the 90s they pushed Rawls (veil of ignorance/original position) at every turn.

Even when I was 20 it was pretty clear that experience showed you can't motivate people to be productive by supplying them a comfortable living even if they aren't productive, but the philosophy professors were in LOVE.

With writers who lived pre-1900 or so it seemed like the cold hard reality of scraping together enough resources to keep starvation at bay kept them sane.

The French Revolution led to an era of darkness and was one of the worst things that has happened to France.

Le roi est mort, vive le roi.

Now this is the entertainment I come to GD for.

Can you let the rest of us know when the mass murdering is set to begin?

With personal liberty comes personal responsibility. A number of people don't have personal responsibility.

So what you're saying is neither a monarchy nor a constitutional federal republic is capable of stopping human nature.

That's a real convincing argument you have there.
