Time to get rid of the Monarchy?

[GenMarshall]

This year the GOP has turned it into a political issue to stir folks like you into action before this year's election and in anticipation of 2024. Fear mongering that you seem to accept as some kind of new reality. One news story is just cherry picking things to try and make it some global change. The story is not about drag Queens; it is about using such a story to twist the public into embracing false a understanding of reality to gain votes.

I have a hunch that Uncle Paul is not an American and won’t get the nuances of the movers and shakers of the GOP.

I only took it and applied it, somewhat in my own experiences when I used to watch fear mongers and grifters saying that “woke moralist SJWs are after your video games just like the moralist fundamentalists Christian’s of old and the wokescolds Marxists will throw you into the gulags if you don’t put your pronouns in your bio and accidentally misgender someone!”.

Not sure what can be applied for Paul’s experiences where he lives

Essentially, many on the left have rejected religion, but they have a new surrogate religion, "equality".

This I the first I’ve heard of this term. Normally I’ve heard it called wokeism, wokeness, or wokery. But referring wokeism to equality?!

But I don't like radical changes. The world was mostly okay 100 years ago.

I thought the world was ok 10-15 years ago before Gamergate and the explosion of Tumblrinas flooding Twitter. But it took me up until recently that it’s not the case.

Surely, there is some happy medium in between "The US becomes an ethnostate" and "the US accepts loads of refugees and becomes a minority-majority state that officially espouses multiculturalism and inclusion".

An ethnostate I highly doubt would even fly in the United States. It’s something that I don’t want to see happening here.

The way white minorities are treated in countries they once controlled is rarely pleasant. I mean, look at South Africa, where politicians (like Malema) constantly incite hatred against whites, sing songs about killing whites (and a kangaroo court declared it's not hate speech), constantly try to seize white land without compensation, etc...and that's the best case scenario. What happened to the whites of Algeria? Of the erstwhile Rhodesia? Heck, what happened to the Indians of Kenya? The Eurasians of Vietnam?

I’m wondering what sources you’re pulling these out of since it sounds too eerily like white supremacst talking points on how the minorities will enact their vengeance against the majority population.

For the record, I was too lazy to read previous posts, and was just reacting to one (very minor) point on Washington.
Damn, this won't end well.

I had to be honest. I had to do a double take on that and wonder if he’s conflating or confusing state capitals with our National Capital (Washington D.C.).

 

[Uncle Paul]

alas, some things cannot be more than dreams.

Literally calling for ethnic cleansing and for people to have their property seized on account of their racial/ethnic heritage.

Aaaahhh, I get it now. Transgender people don't exist.

Do people who wish to be/believe themselves to be members of the opposite sex exist? Yes.
Are they actually members of the sex they wish to be/believe themselves to be members of. No.

He made that pretty clear in the below.



Between "segregation is okay if it's private sector" and this you've already said more than enough.

I've a right to my opinions.

But what of XYY, XXY, X0 people, for example?

Because, so far he's 100% in agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran here.

There are rare cases of chromosomal abnormalities, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that XY = male and XX = female

Woke ideology is not confined to the United States.

It only ever goes one way...the Little Mermaid is now black, but no one would dare turn a traditionally black character white.

I thought the world was ok 10-15 years ago before Gamergate and the explosion of Tumblrinas flooding Twitter. But it took me up until recently that it’s not the case.

The world was better 10-15 years ago, but it was even better 100-150 years ago.

I never advocated for an ethnostate, but neither do I support a state with no ethnic/heritage component. You can have a state based around an ethnic/cultural group with a moderate amount of immigration from compatible cultures.

1. I have a deep respect for the Japanese and other East Asians. I am not a White supremacist.
2. It's widely known what happened to White farmers in the erstwhile Rhodesia, and the French pied-noirs in Algeria had to flee when the historically French territory fell to radical Islamic anticolonialists, often carrying only what they could fit in a suitcase.

So how does/would being ruled by the House of Windsor have benefitted the pieds-noirs again?

It doesn't, but this thread went way off topic somehow.

Well, that's my point exactly, you're dragging us off into the realm of gender subversion and probably culinary Marxism and what-not and yet you fail to provide any support for why Great Britain should remain a monarchic state.

But let's integrate it into the actual discussion.

You hold that men and women are not interchangeable. Why should Elizabeth II have taken the throne at all instead of whichever male cousin was the nearest kin to the king in 1952?

 

[Farm Boy]

His "teachings" brought nothing but misery and suffering to the world.

Yeah, but people call the CCP a product of his mind, which leads me to believe that it's pretty much exactly like priests ******* children claiming it's done in the service of Jesus. Total whatever level.

A man cannot become a woman and vice versa...that doesn't mean that men are better than women, more capable than women, etc...the only area where men have an inherent advantage is physical exertion, and even then, there are many women who are stronger than the average man, and many men who are weaker than the average women. Humans are sexually dimorphic.
But in terms of being a monarch, a politician, a writer, a scientist, a philosopher, etc...men are not inherently better suited to those roles than women are, or vice versa.

What leftist 20 years ago was putting "preferred pronouns" in their email signature?
What leftist 20 years ago was advocating for drag queens in elementary schools?

This is great evidence the left has move "right". When I was a yoof the left was all about practical measures to bring about violent revolution to implement a global sociallist utopia. Now it is more about pronouns and perhaps not making children who cross an imaginary line into effective orphans.

What leftist 20 years ago advocated that every single rich country had to become a multicultural immigration nation?

Most I was aware of.

Those who falter and those who fall must pay the price.

Most I was aware of.

But 100 years ago, most weren't advocating for that. I wonder where it all went wrong...maybe it's too late to turn back the clock.

I am not quite sure what your confusion is. In 1922 many "leftists" would be described in modern terms as classical marxists, which is internationist.

Marx is not my favorite Karl.

Sorry, that was irony. I thought it obvious that I really meant least favourate or something.

 

[sophie]

-Claims to hate Marxism
-Wishes to return to the period when Marxism was at its most popular and closest to achieving its revolutionary goals

Curious.

You yourself said you should be careful, I was simply observing that you have already failed to do so.
