We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Now for an end to the monarchy in the US.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Unless they're talking about the dumbass who literally said he's going to be a king during a political rally, IDGAF. I want that moron in prison and all his assets seized. I want his name tarnished beyond repair and his family EXPELLED from the country.

and his family EXPELLED from the country.

I mean, I prefer rotting in prison for the adults.

My new conspiracy is that Diana found out what Andrew was up to and he made sure she couldn't spill the beans

Prince Andrew is still more popular than Megan Markle.

America isn't the only country that hates black people more than pedophiles.

Why the fuck would a US congressman worry about monarchy?
I thought it was a no Kings reference, but the idiot is talking about the UK monarchy!
To which I say his opinion on that is completely irrelevant.

I highly doubt it, but could it also be the end of a presidency?

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 18 points 1 day ago

If it can't even take down a President why think it could take down a Monarchy?

Anybody who thinks the mere corruption will divorce a nation ( monarchists ) from their beloved exclusive-validity..

is baseless & delusional.

None of the nationally-exclusive-validities, not class-status, not monarchy, not oligarchy, not moneyarchy, not party-archy, not individual-fascism ( as opposed to party/committee-fascism, as the Communist-Party enforces, wherever it can ), not religious-nationalism, not political-nationalism, not ethnic-supremacism, NONE of the nationally-"exclusive"-"validities", will EVERY just-dissolve, just because of corruption:

Identity is more-fundamental then ego ( identity is the skeleton on-which ego is the "muscle" ), & it is the same as with any addiction: going from strong-addiction to no-addiction doesn't work, for nealy-all.

You have, instead, to go from toxic-addiction to good-addiction, like smokers going from cigarettes to ANY alternative/displacement, whether it be a different-social-context, or chewing-gum, or reading books!

Replacing monarchism with Empiricism would, for a few, work.

Replacing monarchism with addiction-to-learning would, for a few, work.

But to pretend that monarchism's going to die, rather-than take-down-its-whole-England, just because of the Epsteins among it??

That isn't the way unconscious-mind's nation-addiction works!

Pretence/idiocy.

See actuality, & see that MOST of humankind will be extinguished, before the majority of humankind are loyal to integrity rather-than ignorant-national-supremacism.

That is our-race's nature.

That is why there won't be anywhere-near 1 billion of us left, at the end of this century: addiction values itself MUCH more than the life it infects, & that includes national-exclusive-"validity"-identity addictions.


Prep, if you can: things are going to go from bad to catastrophic, when the tippingpoint gets crossed, & all non-Trump-cult people have their citizenship removed, in the elegantest 'coup" ever, in history: not-only Civil War Part2 ( the confederates only-pretended to surrender, & now have won ), but the geopolitical-dominoes which go down THE SAME DAY as when Trump finally exterminates all his opponents.. our world is going to be unrecognizable, very shortly.

& all the Democrats who are making-believing that the "checks & balances & established-rules" are going to guarantee they win if they just continue doing what they've been doing,

& all the people who hold that the English Monarchy is somehow removeable through evidence-based-rejection..

that's the same delusion: evidence falsified that paradigm, ages ago, now.

It's a ring toss game!

Ro Khanna should shut the fuck up and go back to sucking Thiel's dick.

thats JD vances job, his favorite pet politician.

[–] bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Ideally he should switch sides and start fighting.

Meh. Sex, scandals and betrayal have been part of any monarchy since the first dude called himself king.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 1 points 22 hours ago

It’s pretty much a defining feature.

The Brits are weak! Prepare the liberation troops to free the British people from their overlords!
