>Yes, I quintessentially believe my monarch is a slobbering hyena ready to bite at any moment, so we put him in a straightjacket and make him wear a muzzle; >You see monarchies are instituted when people believe their rulers are retarded inbreds like King Charles II of Spain or malevolent actors and not on any ideals of majesty or pre-eminence, but only in the most seedy homages to representative democracy or something; yeah, I know politicians actually promise to give people gibs or tax cuts with grandiose visions of political ut0pia, but we offer plain & simple representative democracy, checks and balances, uuuh more mixed constitutionalism with nobles or something >''We don't believe he is wise, his ministers or prime ministers are really the experts but not him, our view of the monarch in monarchy is like a child who needs guidance from strong, capable ministers who actually know what they're doing >We don't think he provides or does anything essential to the economy or is meaningful to our way of life (if he does anything, it is more of a hindrance than a boon in our view), the Church has that covered and the Free Market runs itself democratically, the monarch is just there as a symbol and overall insignificant compared. >And that's why we let his children succeed after him and give him the highest honours of our country that he alone gets to enjoy and why he gets to rule for life and have all this wealth. <because that hyena in a straight jacket is our symbol of unity or something

<But not really, we're not totalitarian or actually even believe in the political ideals of unity, we want decentralized party structures like multi-party democracy or the rule of many noble estates and petty kings, not a one-party state or absolute monarchy. >too much unity is a heckin' bad thing, have you read your Aristotle? uuuh, so the ideal of unity doesn't even actually count for much.

<we will give him the highest honours and have a ceremonial monarch to prevent actual monarchical rule over the political constitution: >I call it the 'seat is taken' mentality, >if there's a ceremonial monarch then no actual monarch will come to rule the political constitution like a dictatorship or someone who could lead the country into more of a monarchical form <yes, we are that heckin' committed to the ideals of Aristotle's mixed constitutionalism >that it is not right for the country to be formulated on monarchy, but only private estates. >what? dictators could just sit on the lap of figurehead royalty and rule in their name? that has never happened before.

>as a constitutional monarchist, my ideal ruler is Bill from King of the Hill >this is the ideal ruler I will soyjak over >to quote our anarcho-monarchist prophet JRR Tolkien Tolkien: Give me a king mostly interested in stamps, railways, or race-horses; Or, what Umberto I said to Victor Emmanuel III Remember: to be a king, all you need to know is how to sign your name, read a newspaper, and mount a horse. <does that sound boring compared to rulers who actually had ambitions? to Hitler who wanted to rebuild Berlin and unify Germany? to Mussolini who wanted to rebuild the Roman Empire? that is ambition, and ambition is bad >even though I am probably of the frame of mind that ambition is a good thing in any other field

>we constitutional monarchists love appealing to Plato's adage that the best ruler is the one who doesn't want to rule <'''but nevermind the whole part about forcing this person to rule. > we'll let him actually not rule and the prime minister rule instead. >or make him so insignificant it wouldn't matter to begin with

Peasant 04/14/2025 (Mon) 14:14:50 No. 7884

<that is right, the best person is the one who really doesn't want to do his job. >If someone hates their job, they're probably the best suited for it. >if I had to choose between a person who came to an interview well dressed, ambitious, ready for the job, was overall gigachad <or the second person who showed no interest or ambition and was unkempt >I would not only pick but force that second person over gigachad everytime.

>the only cutting edge we'll allow the monarch to have is high church culture and the privilege of being symbolic, denominational jewelry in an increasingly secular age where church attendance is at an all time low <but in some cases not even an ecclesiastical office that ministers the church

Peasant 04/14/2025 (Mon) 16:35:00 No. 7886

>in regard to high church, we won't even grant any notion of majesty or pre-eminence to the monarch, since the Church builds monarchy on the basis of the monarch's inferiority and everyone must know the monarch only in second or third terms in return for upholding Christianity. <If you dare attempt to magnify the majesty of the monarch with religion rather than only magnifying the monarch's submission to the Church and his eventual martyrdom after being deposed, otherwise people will actually be invested in the fate of the monarchy and think it is meaningful in their lives in the here and now which is secularism.

>then as a catholic traditionalist, I will assert the idea of decentralization and one among equals for monarchy and the idea of a Europe of a Thousand Liechensteins <although I would NEVER peddle those same ideals for the Pope as one among equals among the bishops nor abide well with a thousand Protestant denominations being like a pagan pantheon in every country.

>then in return for all this, we will show our confidence in monarchy by constantly alluring to the idea of tyranny (in association with the idea of the monarch) and our need to utterly kill and replace the royalty so people know to rise up and kill royalty and spit the name of TYRANT at them.

Just the tip of the iceberg of all the insanity surrounding constitutional monarchists.
