A sinner and a Fediverse Advocate.

I hate strawmen.

  • Ah yes, British democracy. The bringer of Brexit, Boris Johnson. The mess we are in now cannot at all be blamed on His Majesty the King or her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, but on the democratically ruling public. Sure, democracy in it's current form is definitely good for keeping the government to account, (a ranked choice system would be nice but that was democratically rejected in a refurrendum) but I do not trust the British public with selecting a head of state at all. America already made a pigs ear of it, the only country that seems to do it decently off the top of my head is Ireland, which has been rather untouched by populism and has a population of 5.4 million. And even then, I wouldn't be surprised if they elect a knobhead at some point.

  • The King can appoint anyone he likes as prime minister and anyone he likes as lords. The Royal Family only follow a predictable tradition. The King carries command over the armed forces, police, etc. I do not trust an elected official with that role. The fact is, the Windsor family (as they are now called but have gone through different name changes) have been custodians of this land for almost 1000 years and in the last 300 have done an excellent job at keeping it. The biggest threat was Edward VIII who was swiftly removed from power anyway.

  • Matthew 24:24-27

    For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

  • Tbh I think we have a lot to be thankful for in the BBC. I don't think it's possible to have a perfect system or broadcaster. The monarchy has worked for the UK for centuries. We haven't slipped into fascism - the type of coup people describe Trump as doing would most likely be impossible in our lifetimes in the UK under the monarchy (depending how George Wales turns out, but he has good parents)

  • George V was also pretty based. Essentially, the House of Lords kept rejecting the Common's bills to limit the Lords so he threatened to fill the Lords with people who won't reject it.

    We've been pretty good with monarchs in recent history anyway, barring Edward VIII

    Sure, you can complain about the system, but now we have a funny old man who likes nature and pedestrian based affordable towns who's worst flaw is that he cheated on his wife compared to his clownterpart across the pond who's done it several times.

  • But we do on rational charitability. You know what's right and what's wrong. You can believe in good and evil without believing in the same God who put it there. Just how someone can also believe the summer is especially warm without believing in man-made climate change.
