/monarchy/ - STOP THINKING LIKE REPUBLICANS

Post your favorite uniforms and colors.

Personally, I like the French dragoons. A guilty pleasure.

Despite being in the Napoleonic army, they're pretty ornate and likeable.

Please keep these to monarchical armies, or somewhat relatable.

Is having a Monarch the ultimate cuckoldry?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than having a Monarch. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are building, managing and improving a society so that it can be enjoyed by another man. All the hard work you put into your beautiful Polis, toiling the fields, building ports for trade, recruiting men for war, training daily in the Gymnasium to be fit for war.. All of it has one simple result: the society can serve a man who uses it for his own pleasure

Created the perfect society? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random man, who had nothing to do with the way it was build He gets to enjoy the fruits of a civilization .He gets the benefits of a Polis that he had no part in building yet will use it for his own purpose.

As a man who has a Monarch, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least your life simply to raise a society for another man to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.

This is the new Grace Chan thread.

And here is the latest piece to Grace us.

Hello /monarchy/, lolberg from /liberty/ here. How would history change if, at the end of the Revolutionary War, Thomas Jefferson was declared the first monarch of the United States? With my admittedly limited knowledge, these are the immediate implications I can see:

>French Revolution can't use it as a historical precedent, or ideological motivation. Revolution might still happen but won't be nearly as popular or widespread.

>Without FR, Marx and his shitty ideas have far less influence, assuming Marx even tries to peddle his nonsense at all.

>Without American democracy and/or FR as inspiration, no pressure for other European nations to become democratic

>Without the European divide between monarchies and democracies, and without democratic warmongering and nationalism, world stage no longer set for WWI

>Even if Marx managed to influence some people, without WWI Germany never smuggles Lenin back into Russia

>Without Lenin Communist Revolution never happens and Marxism (again, assuming it even survived this far in history) never becomes widespread

>Without Treaty of Versailles and economic clusterfuck of WWI, WWII never happens

>Without WWII, and without commies in Russia, Cold War never happens

>Without Cold War fucking hippies never happen

>Modern world is far less war-torn, far less cucked, far more prosperous

And that's not even taking into account the internal changes in the US:

>No more incentive to continue increasing gov't size by appealing to demographics

>Progressive Era, even if it happens, need not have influence over policy

>No Prohibition

>No Central Bank and no fiat currency

>No Keynesian fantasies

>Great Depression much less 'great', assuming it happens at all

>No welfare state

A containment thread for Yankees and Thomas Paine lovers.

Hear yee, hear yee, the Homestead belongs to Peasants. Post banter and do whatever you want in the Homestead. It is the place for peasant dialogues, peasant banter, and peasant media. The Homestead is the place of free reign and unbridled peasantry.

Aristocrats are welcome to sit and laugh at peasant LARPing. Even talk with peasants, but this is the peasants' turf.

What is your favorite symbol of monarchical authority? I'm a fan of the daṇḍa – which was just a staff, or scepter, of punishment wielded by kings in ancient India. The Sanskrit term just means stick but apparently it also, due to this association with kingship, acquired a sense of the administration of justice and punishment, both of which were considered duties of the king. Interestingly, the daṇḍa was also associated with the sage. Even today you can see police officers in India caring around daṇḍas to whack people with.

Bees are the monarchist insect, but ants are communist pests.

<as Joseph d'M*istre states:

>“If sovereignty is not anterior to the people, at least these two ideas are collateral, since a sovereign is necessary to make a people. It is as impossible to imagine a human society, a people, without a sovereign as a hive and bees without a queen: for, by virtue of the eternal laws of nature, a swarm of bees exists in this way or it does not exist at all. Society and sovereignty are thus born together; it is impossible to separate these two ideas. Imagine an isolated man: there is no question of laws or government, since he is not a whole man and society does not yet exist. Put this man in contact with his fellowmen: from this moment you suppose a sovereign. The first man was king over his children; each isolated family was governed in the same way. But once these families joined, a sovereign was needed, and this sovereign made a people of them by giving them laws, since society exists only through the sovereign.

>Everyone knows the famous line,

>“The first king was a fortunate soldier.

>This is perhaps one of the falsest claims that has ever been made. Quite the opposite could be said, that

>The first soldier was paid by a king.

>There was a people, some sort of civilization, and a sovereign as soon as men came into contact. The word people is a relative term that has no meaning divorced from the idea of sovereignty: for the idea of a people involves that of an aggregation around a common center, and without sovereignty there can be no political unity or cohesion….”

What are your animals, /monarchy/?

This is a no-anime zone. Post high-quality aesthetic paintings and quotes of historical or fictitious kings and monarchists. Bonus points for realistic depictions of medieval (or fantasy) knights.

Bring in the most iconic pictures.

Let's have a content dump for all images we cherish.

The ultimate affront to all ideologies is being an imperialist.

They all hate the legacy of empires.

This is not the imperialism of colonial empire, but the long-spanning imperial domain of ancient civilizations and the imperial domain of holy ranks and great emperors. Emperors were once a strong symbol.

Monarchies are not only afraid of going extinct. Empires are. True empires. I am not referencing "pseudo-empire" and those who point to Zionist hegemony or the current state of the Commonwealth. What the nationalists refer to "globalism" is not the imperialism I love. The glory of imperialism could be as national and local as it is powerful. Emperor is the rank above king. It is the ultimate status.

Before anyone whines about colonialism, I'm going to point out that an anti-imperialist is basically an anti-monarchist. Look no further the 20th century and the most prestigious monarchies were empires. The British Empire. The Austro-Hungarian Empire. The German Empire. The Russian Empire. The Brazilian Empire & 2nd Mexican Empire. The whole basket of great imperial regimes. The only Emperor left in this world is in Japan.

Absolutism only appeals to aesthetics-fags and semi-reformed fascists. It is better than democracy, but worse than the monarchies of the middle ages. It has created a worthless class of nominal aristocrats in France, and forever tarnished the name of aristocracy. It has directly spawned democracy; you couldn't reform a society in the middle ages to be democratic, as the sovereignty wasn't vested in a single entity to begin with.

Absolutism appeals to authoritarians and totalitarians, and to esotericists who imbue the state with spiritual forces. Their views are historically unjustifiable, as absolutist governments were still very liberal for modern standards, but they are still hard to get rid off, as these kinds of people don't care for facts so much as for narratives and aesthetics. We will have a hard time getting rid of people who think that absolutism is just upgraded fascism as long as we fawn over every guy with a silly beard wearing a 19th century military uniform. Let's face it: Monarchs can be mediocre, too. They can be progressive, and they can be heretical. Kaiser Wilhelm II was a zionist and esotericist tool, and to drool over him for the sake of aesthetics is ridiculous. I'd take him over Merkel any day, but "better than Merkel" is not a sign of great quality. And don't get me started on Frederick II, who was most likely gay, and who was definitely influenced by Voltaire.

Society is supposed to be symbiotic and organic, and it was during the middle ages. Not so much during the era of absolutism. Again, absolutist government, in the grand scheme of things, was still a fine form of government. It is also most exemplary of monarchy. However, we should be very careful about advertising it too much. It might be effective for attracting people, but that won't be of much use if half of them end up as buffoons who talk of "liberal ontology" like it means something and cannot think of people as anything other than subjects to a king.

>TFW you live in the most corrupt republic on the planet specifically created out of a peasant revolt against the british crown, which no claimants over the entirety of the modern country's territory whatsoever, and who's only claimants over certain parts of it are a ceremonial british hag and a deposed Hawaiian cheiftain

Fellow burgers of /monarchy/, how do you cope with your beliefs in such a society where monarchism is completely alien? Is the Mad Monarchist correct in the assertion that we all should just give up hope or move back to the Old World?

I myself am a Russian descendent from White Immigrants (grandfather was a minor noble who fought for Monarchists in the Russian Civil War)- and considering the fact that I can't seem to find any legitimate American Monarchist organizations- should I just get the hell out of dodge and join the Monarchist Party of Russia?

What should be done with America? In an ideal world.

Would you have a Kingdom of America? What religion or culture would the monarch be from? Would it be a centralized realm or very decentralized like the HRE? Elective monarchy or hereditary? Would it have to be cut into multiple kingdoms? (Say Kingdom of Dixie, Kingdom of California, Kingdom of Texas… some ideas maybe).

How do you deal with the clusterfuck of religions, races, and ethnicities on this continent basically? Or do you just nuke it from orbit? Have fun with this thought experiment.
