We are going to make this board active from now on. Whenever you browse this board and there are no new posts outside of here, make a post to revive this board! Everything from general banter, smaller monarchist thoughts or just what happens to be on your mind. We will create a community if everything goes right.
To get this started: How did you become a monarchist? For long have you been one? Do you live in a monarchy currently? Or anything else you want to talk about?

Well, it looks like I'm using this, giving that thread >>422 broke for some reason. It's just as well, a new thread makes things fresh.
In any case, recently I've found monarchism and traditionalism incredibly appealing, but…I just can't stomach the religion stuff. I understand that it's important to the foundation of monarchy, but I simply don't "have the faith" to get my mind around the inconsistencies I see of religion.

Supporters of monarchism cover a variety between these who believe in the principles of the Golden Bull and Magna Carta and constitutional monarchy, those who think that 'figurehead' monarchies play a very important religious/traditional/cultural function, supporters of the ancien regime, and those who support "l'etat c'est moi" absolute monarchies. Maybe instead of pithy greentext shitposts the two of you could actual discuss what your opinions are and present actual arguments behind those opinions?

The fact that you think a constitutional monarchy is a "figurehead monarchy" just further proves how clueless you are. You basically just responded to the question "does anyone here live under a monarchy" with "i don't think anyone here is a saudi! DOHOHOHO! SEE HOW CLEVER I AM, GUYZ!" and when it was pointed out that there are plenty of countries in the world that have either hereditary or elected monarchies, you tried to save yourself from looking stupid by saying "b-b-but those don't count! they're just figureheads". This response was stupid for the reason that a constitutional monarchy does not mean that the monarch has no executive authority since in many constitutional monarchies, the monarch holds certain limited executive powers. The second reason is that even if the monarch is a "figurehead" (a word you don't actually even bother define) people are still living under these figurehead monarchs and can still relate their experiences in response to OP's question. Nobody asked you what you consider "real monarchy".
tl;dr stop being a faggot or just fuck off

How about this you tard, any democracy where they call certain celebrities kings, queens, princes and/or princesses is not a monarchy. Which is to say, Saudi Arabia is the only monarchy today.

I think the word you're looking for is absolute monarchies.
Also, technically Brunei, Qatar, Oman, the UAE, Swaziland, and the Vatican are all absolute monarchies along with Saudi Arabia. So, even then it's not just Saudi Arabia.
I don't know how you'd classify nations like Morocco, Bhutan, Liechtenstein, and Thailand.
I also don't know how you'd classify Belgium either. It certain isn't 'figurehead' given the role of King Albert between 2010-2011, but it certainly isn't an absolute monarchy. And therein, I believe, is what >>579 's point is.

I've only played Demon Souls. Would I like the Dark Souls series if I enjoyed that or did they change a lot of things? I keep hearing people say that Dark Souls is just watered down Demon Souls.

Whatcha all doing this weekend?
I'm going to tell a story about how much of a pleb I am. It's about the first time I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion.
<story>
I watched it with a bunch of friends, we somehow didn't know anything about it. I don't know how a bunch of us both knew that it was a famous show, and didn't know anything of its 'significance.' But it just happened that way. When we watched it, we gave it the MST3K treatment. We thought it was Plan Nine hilarious. Especially towards the end when they started dropping down storyboards like it was an actual show. And especially the ending where they started going into Plan-Nine-esque circular soliloquies. We laughed it up and had a great time.
About a week later I remember thinking, "Oh man, that show was hilarious, people have got to have some funny stuff about i–" and then I found out that it was almost completely and unanimously acclaimed as the anime to end all anime. That it meant a lot to nearly everyone who watched it, it wasn't funny at all, and was a serious piece that deserved enormous amounts of critical attention. I still don't know how to take that.

Always was a monarchist, most people are in this country. But I didn't start getting into the theory behind monarchy until I started studying politics and history at school. I live in England which means we're pretty much one of the oldest running (ignore the English civil war, that was just a hiccup) monarchies in the world, Queen Elizabeth's royal linage goes all the way back to the first Wessex kings of England. My only criticism of our monarchy at the moment is that they're pretty inactive politically (although the Queen reads and gives assent to every law we pass). Maybe King Charles III might change that though.

Case in point:
>"Nothing gets me like when the first knock comes. When Parliament is in session, the doors remained closed; no one is to leave but also, perhaps most importantly, no one is to enter. When Parliament is formed, Black Rod, in the name of the Monarch, slams on the door and demands it to be opened. The Members of Parliament must immediately stop what they are doing and have the door opened, then leave for the House of Lords, where the Monarch is awaiting their arrival. There's only one human alive for whom that door would open, because there's only one human alive who would ever knock on that door. The Monarch may not step foot in the House of Commons. To do so is an act of aggression on the representative rights of the House, and the government would immediately be cast into a Constitutional Crisis. By doing so, Charles III here has committed that ancient act of aggression. However, Parliament is so taken-aback by the action that no one seems to realize it. The fact that Charles has chosen not to call his ministers to the House of Lords but instead to enter the Commons is as significant as the entire action itself; to dismiss His Majesty's Ministers in their own House has not been heard of since Charles I. In some ways, calling the Ministers to the House of Lords reminds them of their common nature, of their positions as subjects. However, by entering the House of Commons, Charles in this circumstance does not demean himself, but has, instead of lowering himself to the Commons, projected His will upon them and reminded them of their place. The commoner is so low that Black Rod, mouthpiece of the Crown, does not lower himself by addressing the peasants, but instead will only speak to the Speaker of the House. Furthermore, listen to the stark difference in education, heard purely in the words of the Prime Minister and the King; the Minister's words are quick and to the point, but the King's, as if from a play written by Shakespeare himself, are masterful in their art of conveying meaning with total understanding and justification. The House of Commons is traditionally loud, exciting, and full of the heat of "ayes" and "nays", as democracy is. But all falls silent when the Rod hits the door. You can see it in the Speaker's face, the sudden realization of all herebefore said, the complete and total silence of the room as all eyes fall upon the door, and like rambunctious children playing when their parents come to investigate the squalor, all stiffen-up and widen their eyes; "The King is here." Fucking art."

>How did you become a monarchist?
I wouldn't call myself a monarchist per say, but lately I have been peering over the fence from libertarianism, which I've been an advocate of for a number of years, and have found monarchy to be more suitable for the needs of a healthy nation than a republic. The Mad Monarchist, as well as Hans-Hermann Hoppe in particular has been largely responsible for this shift in my ideology.
>Do you live in a monarchy currently?
As I currently live in burger land, the most well known "republic" in the world, I would say that this is not the case, and it will most likely remain so barring a complete and utter collapse of the government. Even then, the installation of a monarch would be nigh impossible, as most would find it to be completely alien. It is a depressing thought, but perhaps we might go the way of the Roman Republic instead.
>Anything else you want to talk about?
Sure. What do you guys think of cynicism, or the thought that dogs are the supreme animal over all, including humans?
