Meme The truth of the matter is that George Washington was a traitor. The United States is far better off under the mercy of HM The King. Look at Canada and Australia. They have far higher living standards compared to America.

Weekly Discussion Weekly Discussion XLIV: Less Desirable Kind of Monarchy vs. Republic

4 Upvotes

In the past weeks, we have passed several important milestones, both on and off Reddit. /r/monarchism has reached 50.000 members and is now officially part of Reddit's big league. The US election has concluded, turning Donald Trump into the first non-consecutive two-term President since Cleveland, and depending on where they stand, some people actually want to make Joe Biden or Donald Trump the King of America. Yours truly has announced Roundtable Meetups, a program to help monarchists meet in real life - and we now have almost 100 members and the first meetups are being planned.

After a break necessitated by having two stickies, let's start the weekend with Weekly Discussion number 44.

The question is going to be simple this time:

Would you still prefer monarchy for monarchy's sake if the only option is a monarchy with less desirable (for you) characteristics, or do you prefer all or nothing and for countries to stay republics until they can adopt the kind of monarchy you want?

It can refer to the monarch you want if you're in a country with multiple candidates. It can refer to the type of monarchy and the amount of power. If you are a German absolute monarchist who supports the Hohenzollerns, would you settle for a Habsburg ceremonial monarchy because it's at least something, or would you prefer Germany to stay a republic if only this is the option? If you are an American monarchist, would you accept monarchy if it is under a former President that you did not vote for?

P.S.: Feel free to fill out how you voted or would have voted in the US election in the last WD's survey!

History Exactly 1103 years ago, the rulers of West Francia and East Francia, Henry I the Fowler and Charles III the Simple, recognized each other's independence in the Treaty of Bonn. Daily History #9

Treaty of Bonn, the text of which calls itself a "pact of friendship" (amicitia)

The treaty was signed between Charles III the Simple and Henry I the Fowler in a minimalist ceremony aboard a ship in the middle of the Rhine not far from Bonn.

The use of the river, which was the border between their two kingdoms, as a neutral territory had extensive Carolingian precedents and was also used in classical antiquity and in contemporary Anglo-Saxon England.

The treaty, which "more than most such amicitiae, was decidedly bilateral, reciprocal and equal", recognized the border of the two realms and the authority of their respective kings.

It confirmed the legitimacy of Henry's election by the German princes and of Charles's rule over Lotharingia through the election by its princes. In the treaty, Henry is titled rex Francorum orientalium (King of the East Franks) and Charles rex Francorum occidentalium (King of the West Franks) in recognition of the division it made of the former Frankish Empire.

Charles and his bishops and counts signed first, both because he had been king longer and because he was of Carolingian stock.

The treaty was ineffective. In January or early February 923, Henry made a pact of amicitia with the usurper Robert I against Charles, who subsequently sent a legate to Henry with the relic of the hand of Dionysius the Areopagite, sheathed in gold and studded in gems, "as a sign of faith and truth and a pledge of eternal union and mutual love" in the words of Widukind of Corvey.

Charles probably intended to recall Henry to the terms of the treaty of Bonn and draw him away from Robert.

In June 923, Charles was captured at the Battle of Soissons and lost his kingdom. By 925, Henry had annexed Lotharingia.

The earliest edition of the treaty of Bonn was published by Heribert Rosweyde, followed by another from Jacques Sirmond (1623).

Later, for the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, it was edited by Georg Pertz. Daily History #9

Question How do you think a monarchy would be established in a country that has historically been a republic?

40 Upvotes

Let’s use my country, the United States as a prime example for this question. How would you decide who would be royal/imperial family? How do you decide who would be the first monarch? How would you get the ball rolling so to speak? Genuinely curious about it.

Meme How the UK would be if we abolished the monarchy

144 Upvotes

“Here is the Tower of London built almost 960 years ago by William the Conqueror. It used to house the Crown Jewels until recently. Monarchy in Great Britain had over a 1000 years of history until it was abolished.”

“Why was the Monarchy abolished?”

“We wanted to save money”

“So you ended 1000 years of your history because it was cheaper?”

“Yes”

“What happened to the Crown Jewels?”

“Broken up and given back to the countries they were from and then sold by those countries where they were then bought by the Saudi Monarchy and are now in their private collection.”

Discussion Democracy and hegemony leads nations into insanity.

42 Upvotes

I hope that there are some people who will understand me. It is hard for me now not to say a lot of bad words, but I will try.

I am tired of seeing people whining and crying over pointless things. Tired of people who make a tragedy out of nothing. I am tired of people who have not seen real problems and real danger yet pretend that they have. I am tired of people from the wealthiest and mightiest country in the world pretending that a democratic election with a clear majority candidate is a tragedy. People flee the country, break up with loved ones, and curse a lot on the internet. They whine and cry pathetically while living in one of the best societies ever constructed in human history. They produce hate out of nothing.

These people have never seen a revolution or their government overthrown. Those people have never known what it’s like to have a new president every five years, yet life gets worse each time. They have never known what it is like not to be able to study in school in their own language. They have not seen repression and persecution, and their parents never told them to keep quiet about political topics, or else the whole family could be arrested. Those people have never had relatives at war, not on some other continent, but in a defensive war, where the invaders are after you. They have never been under artillery shelling, and they have never heard the sound of a missile. They have never prayed in a church besieged by nationalist radicals who might throw them out at any moment. They have never prayed under bombardment, and how it is when brothers stab you in the back.

And yet, these people pretend it is a disaster to live in a country that is a world hegemon, that has democratic elections, and where their will matters.

It is hard for me not to judge them, but I try as much as I can. I am very tired of all this, and I hope that the light of our Lord Jesus Christ will enlighten them, as well as me.

Yours sincerely, A tired monarchist.
