I highly doubt it, but could it also be the end of a presidency?

If it can’t even take down a President why think it could take down a Monarchy?

Ro Khanna should shut the fuck up and go back to sucking Thiel’s dick.

Ideally he should switch sides and start fighting.

Meh. Sex, scandals and betrayal have been part of any monarchy since the first dude called himself king.

It’s pretty much a defining feature.

Why the fuck would a US congressman worry about monarchy?
I thought it was a no Kings reference, but the idiot is talking about the UK monarchy!
To which I say his opinion on that is completely irrelevant.

The Brits are weak! Prepare the liberation troops to free the British people from their overlords!

Prince Andrew is still more popular than Megan Markle.

America isn’t the only country that hates black people more than pedophiles.

Anybody who thinks the mere corruption will divorce a nation ( monarchists ) from their beloved exclusive-validity…

is baseless & delusional.

None of the nationally-exclusive-validities, not class-status, not monarchy, not oligarchy, not moneyarchy, not party-archy, not individual-fascism ( as opposed to party/committee-fascism, as the Communist-Party enforces, wherever it can ), not religious-nationalism, not political-nationalism, not ethnic-supremacism, NONE of the nationally-“exclusive”-“validities”, will EVERY just-dissolve, just because of corruption:

Identity is more-fundamental then ego ( identity is the skeleton on-which ego is the “muscle” ), & it is the same as with any addiction: going from strong-addiction to no-addiction doesn’t work, for nealy-all.

You have, instead, to go from toxic-addiction to good-addiction, like smokers going from cigarettes to ANY alternative/displacement, whether it be a different-social-context, or chewing-gum, or reading books!

Replacing monarchism with Empiricism would, for a few, work.

Replacing monarchism with addiction-to-learning would, for a few, work.

But to pretend that monarchism’s going to die, rather-than take-down-its-whole-England, just because of the Epsteins among it??

That isn’t the way unconscious-mind’s nation-addiction works!

Pretence/idiocy.

See actuality, & see that MOST of humankind will be extinguished, before the majority of humankind are loyal to integrity rather-than ignorant-national-supremacism.

That is our-race’s nature.

That is why there won’t be anywhere-near 1 billion of us left, at the end of this century: addiction values itself MUCH more than the life it infects, & that includes national-exclusive-“validity”-identity addictions.


Prep, if you can: things are going to go from bad to catastrophic, when the tippingpoint gets crossed, & all non-Trump-cult people have their citizenship removed, in the elegantest 'coup" ever, in history: not-only Civil War Part2 ( the confederates only-pretended to surrender, & now have won ), but the geopolitical-dominoes which go down THE SAME DAY as when Trump finally exterminates all his opponents… our world is going to be unrecognizable, very shortly.

& all the Democrats who are making-believing that the “checks & balances & established-rules” are going to guarantee they win if they just continue doing what they’ve been doing,

& all the people who hold that the English Monarchy is somehow removeable through evidence-based-rejection…

that’s the same delusion: evidence falsified that paradigm, ages ago, now.
