The “people” in /r/conservative are either bots or raised on leaded water.
They literally clapped while King Charles fucking dunked on them.
These people just believe whatever the fuck they want. I could convince them that Jesus was actually a mass murderer and they’d be all for it as long as the victims were brown.
It would work depressingly well, especially since the Manosphere has been trying to rebrand Christ as a “Warrior King”
Is this meant to argue that it isn’t a sign of disingenuous values for “anti-authoritarians” to recognize and legitimise a literal monarchy (no matter how “ceremonial” it is)? Democrats are very much not against dictatorial rule, they’ve been complicit in its enforcement all over the world and have participated in its construction in the US (even if you want to think this is something new).
Y’all are letting the other side control the narrative, don’t talk about King Charles - focus on Donald trying to be a Monarch/Dictator.
They want you to have their bad faith argument so you don’t talk about the actions of Trump.
It is actually very relevant to talk about the performative actions liberals take to “challenge” authoritarianism while legitimizing their own claim to power. Liberals have mostly criticized Trump for the disgraceful or embarrassing presentation of his administration, not with critiques on the fundamental immorality of hierarchal and inequal systems of power.
To present someone respectful (classy, polite, civil, etc.) as legitimate is in fact an effective way to redirect systemic criticism into individual criticism. Democrats will not discard whatever authoritarian policies Trump’s admin succeeds in implementing, as they didn’t from Bush or even Trump’s previous admin.
Also Charles is a King in title only. Hes a tourist attraction. He has no real power.
Unlike what Trump is trying to do/become.
Initially they said “US is not UK, it has no kings”. It implies “UK is not US, it has kings”.
there where protests before his coronation, one dude was arrested for holding a sign as well. No one in a dck suit though from memory, apart from him of course ;)
anyway, fuck that guy as well.
It’s not stupidity, it’s malevolence.
It’s No KingS. We’re allowed one
Fuck him too, for what it’s worth.
We should make it a capital offense for a monarch or inherited noble of any kind to set foot in the US. Being a monarch of any kind is a crime against humanity. I don’t care how “constitutional” a monarch is. You’re still talking about a monster that dares to claim power over others simply by right of birth.
We should still be open to diplomatic relations with monarchies. I’m willing to deal with diplomats, but this land should be unsullied by the rot of kings. The US really should be one of the most anti-monarchist nations on Earth. In fact, whenever I see one of my fellow citizens fawning over British royalty I want to call them a traitor to the Republic and everything the nation is supposed to stand for. Kings and Queens are not good people. Even the Constitutional ones are mincing freaks quietly waiting on the political sidelines, hoping for the day when democracy trips up and they can reclaim full power. Do you not think that deep in his heart, Chuck wishes he could be an absolute monarch just like his ancestors? He absolutely does. They all do. And that’s why they all should be forced to either give up their crowns or give up their heads.
It should be a capital offense for any monarch or noble to set foot on US territory. Simply being a monarch on US soil should be enough to get your head cut off. Honestly, monarchs deserve far worse.
Does your country simply want to have someone that fills the role of a king or queen? Fine. Hold an election and elect a non-hereditary, ceremonial king. That’s perfectly acceptable. But actual hereditary monarchs? They all deserve to have their head in a basket. Being a monarch is a crime against humanity. I consider crazed ax murderers to be better people than kings.
A king is nothing more than the descendant of a serial killer that killed so many people he was able to claim total power.
Are you okay?
No.
While I’m personally against the monarchy, we’re all descendants of questionable people, at some point. For a few hundred years the Royals have been born into it. Some have maintained a vague sense of duty and decency, others have been self-absorbed idiots. I don’t think being anything your born into is a crime, as such. I actually think Elizabeth II did a decent ‘job’ and Charles likewise. I just think the entire institution should be abolished.
It shows that they even missed the major point that a monarch from the country we freed ourselves from came here to address our Congress on the importance of saving the environment and keeping checks and balances in place to maintain democracy.
He either brilliantly roasted Trump, or us if we never do anything to stop Nazis and rebuild and reform our country.
Most of them look like they honestly don’t give a shit. I see one guy who looks enthused.
Also, “No Kings” means “The United States of America has no kings.” It bears no relevance to our diplomatic relations with monarchical states.
My favorite part was when a huge part of the internet went down and suddenly, the amount of conservative posts/twitter users went silent.
And Republicans were the guys assassinating kings
