What the fuck?

>>7666 Checked And what's up?

>>7248 leftypol also has a royal colony on their site also I'd argue as a commie that it's possible for an absolute monarchy to be socialist, the monarchs would have to read and practice marxist theory, which is unlikely to happen. also a socialist monarchy would be way better to have than any capitalist republic. >why can't we have constitutional monarchies that are socialist huh? we can, just very unlikely. >What's wrong with that? I see no issue with it tbh instead of republics or monarchies, another alternate structure of power would be of worker's councils that would be unified nation-wide to manage an entire country, thousands or even millions of worker councils would manage a country instead of a republic or a monarchy.

If we ever go back to /icup/ again, these anthems we'll use.

/monarchy/ is invited to the 3rd 8moe Duels Soulcalibur 6 tournie. You are welcome to add another character (if you want) or re-roll your character's fighting style fighting style. The event is being hosted at >>>/icup/5943 It will be sometime this upcoming weekend.

I was touched when you made this thread. Still am I guess. I never really got to know you, but I did enjoy interacting when we did. You helped make this place fun sometimes y'know? Well. Anyways. I am going and I won't be back. No one's fault, nothing anyone said or did. It's just something that happened, and it means I won't be around on this earth much longer. I don't wanna spend that time moderating. Take care your royal highness. And may God bless you and all your future endeavors. Goodbye.

>>7346 This sounds very bad. I hope for any potential recovery or mitigation if possible. I feel sorry you're leaving the community b/c you were a pillar to 8moe and the funposting that happened here. >I was touched when you made this thread. Still am I guess. You helped introduce me to the 8moe community & other jannies & to use the BO name. & participated in so many events. & helped in so many ways. I did very little and I was surprised you stuck around since there wasn't much on this board to offer except the notes I'd scrawl out in my containment thread from my personal studies & inner thoughts and frustrations and autism. Besides the OC & mingling with the other boards. I tried to be more comfy to be around and more interesting personality, but the way I think and act, maybe through a force of habit, inhibits me from being a better funposter to be around. Speaking for myself, I think I'm gradually self-improving and learning to be a better funposting that I'll eventually be able to bring this board out of simply being a place for political tirades & blogposting into being something better. I feel I've mastered my own politics enough to move into more brevity & soul than trying to desperately and autistically explain everything like a leftist meme, & I know that is a personal flaw of mine I've grown over the years here. ... I try to be a better poster and bring more fun to the table. >I was touched when you made this thread. I thought about promoting you to a Duke to honor you earlier, but felt you preferred the namesake of Baron. That & the bronyposting really amused me. >You helped make this place fun sometimes y'know? I thought about hosting another event next weekend (if you're still interested somehow).

/tkr/ loses to Grace in a tickle fight.

Esther and her best friends. Colour version HD coming soon...

Now, I promised: Esther and her best friends Avellana of /av/, Grace of /monarchy/ and Lila of /tkr/ Colour version and HD

Before I compare HLvM to the same in Aristotle's Politics, let me talk about my overall distrust of "NeoAbsolutism" as an OG Absolute Monarchist. I mostly distrust "NeoAbsolutism" b/c it's filled to the brim with Evola-stanning Traditionalists; that might be an odd complaint, but I see it awfully trendy & all-consuming. You needn't look far to see what I mean, when these sorts take over a hobby or niche group on the Right. Look at what they've done to Fascism. You have Fascists basically ridiculing Actual Idealism & repeating Evola's snubbery against Giovanni Gentile's Anti-Intellectualism. I see myself as a Guardian of Old Absolutism against the innovations of NeoAbsolutism. The way NeoAbsolutists are all Bertrand de Jouvenel, with a bit of homage to Filmer, & total absence of Jean Bodin in discussing Absolutism & Sovereignty is criminal to me. Just within Fascism, these sorts have kind of made a mockery of Giovanni Genitle, I also fear the same with Old Absolutism & that is what Bertrand de Jouvenel derides. Thinking about Fascism & how trendy Traditionalism & all the e-Fascists gobbling it up, it's really sad to me... that Cultured Thug is the only e-Fascist I've ever met to recognize Evola's snide remarks like "I'm a Super-Fascist" is mostly a ridiculing of Fascism. Just as these e-Fascists don't seem to be consciously aware of the punches Evola is throwing at Fascism, so also I really wonder if NeoAbsolutists are fully aware of Bertrand de Jouvenel's punches against Absolutism & the roots of it with Tocqueville & Aristotle.

Here's another area where Bertrand de Jouvenel is running contrary to a tendency in Absolutism: Absolutism embraces the idea that political & economical don't differ. Here, Bertrand de Jouvenel is asserting exactly that, & going along w/ Aristotle in "two degrees of authority". <De Jouvenel / Monarchical vs Senatorial >According to which of these two hypotheses is adopted, the conclusion is reached that the "natural" government is either the monarchical or the senatorial. But from the time that Locke utterly smashed up Filmer's fragile structure, the earliest political authority was considere to be the senate composed of fathers of families, using the word "families" in the widest sense. >Society must, therefore, have presented two degrees of authority, which were quite different in kind. On the one hand is the head of the family, exercising the most imperious sway over all who were within the family circle. On the other are the heads of families in council, taking decisions in concert, tied to each other only by consent, submitting only to what has been determined in common, and assembling their retainers, who have outside themselves, neither law nor master, to execute their will. Bertrand de Jouvenel obviously hates State Corporatism, but in his appeal to "Republic of Old" -- Bertrand de Jouvenel is also stressing how back then there wasn't State Corporatism. >It thus appears that the rulers do not form, as in our modern society, a coherent body which, from the minister of state down to the policeman, moves as one piece. On the contrary, the magistrates, great and small, discharge their duties in a way which verges on independence. That is also very Aristotelian.

This should be helpful.

>>6741 >your IP is from a known spammer Well guess TOR not working.

Anyone noticed that Graceposter basically disappeared once King Charles took to the throne?

>>7438 I assume you're referring to >>7436 That was me. I am very much a newfag. My only other posting in /monarchy/ was >>6998 Based on the culture section of picrel, I had assumed it was normal to use Aristocrat. Based on the 2 reactions I've had here, apparently that's a thing of the past. It's a fun idea nonetheless. I'm sorry if I got your hopes up; maybe I should stop using this name. Also, while I'm responding, I prefer the new logo because I feel it gives off a truly royal aura, unlike the old logo, which was more generic(although also more humorous).

>>7454 It has been roughly 3 years. Right now I have namechanged from Ramses II to 8corgi as 5th King. 5th King name is officially 8corgi now.

>>7641 No. In some monarchies, it's simply the case that the monarchy is predominately wealthy and owns the critical wealth (like the oil rich monarchies). If we're aiming for a full & simple monarchy, then without a doubt, people should get comfortable with the idea of the monarchy having such a portion of the state budget and wealth at his disposal. & those monarchies usually provide for the public. Probably the most grievous examples I can think of are the Shah of Iran or Bokassa's coronation & tbh that isn't enough altogether to make me say they should have been overthrown for that reason. Now constitutional monarchies today like the UK are making such a huge grievance over a tiny portion of the budget and the coronation, that a man like Charles III should have all that wealth and these titles by right of birth -- that alone is enough for the full fledged republicans to cry tyranny, even over a small consumption tax. If we allow monarchies to tax as much as our contemporary democracies, it should be more than enough even though people would call it the greatest tyranny because a monarch is doing it and not the pretense of the People doing it. Though even the rulers who have been historically deemed tyrants were more conscious about how much they taxed their subjects. Emperor Tiberius, for example, reprimanded his governor of Egypt for taxing too much. Tiberius said, >I would have my sheep sheared, not flayed. Anyways. >Is it right to remove him from office in hopes of another, better monarch taking his place? You hope, but that's not guaranteed. It could be the end of the Monarchy (in that case, don't count on a restoration) or a usurper who is even worse. If you browsed the board long enough, frankly said that is my position (& it is the fringe position, non-resistance and the absolute monarchist stance was routinely mocked well after the 1700s). That said, it's even more peculiar to me how constitutional monarchists are such staunch legitimatists well after a monarchy is overthrown and expect a restoration centuries afterwards, but for most of them the question of deposing a monarch is easy-pudding. -- That contrast between their staunch legitimatism & easy-going regicide *cough* tyrannicide calls doesn't have virtue in my book... loyalism for them (esp. with saintly martyr kings) is amplified after a monarch is overthrown, but the virtue of loyalism and keeping a tight belt through good and bad times should be there when the regime is alive. The absolutist stance is more sensible imo b/c there's dogged loyalism when the regime is still around, and then it is inevitably accepted once a regime is overthrown decades later and it's apparent they aren't coming back. Restorationism after 100+ years, no question about it -- is time to move on and consider new blood and new leadership.

Again, I personally don't think with Monarchy (tbh with ANY form of State) people should jump ship or abandon it at the first slight of inconvenience. People should expect to go through both good and bad times, not only good times perpetually (overthrowing a State because it hits a bump in the road is purist thinking and does more harm than any tyranny itself).

I was here for Halloween 2024! Does this make me more likely to receive a royal land grant? Also, Grace looks very nice in Egyptian attire.

Grace is cute

The Stuarts + Julio-Claudians are my favorites. I also have a soft spot for the Kim dynasty.
