the u.s president has the same role as a 17th century english king
his powers are basically identitical
no the powers are identical
if you're saying that the american president doesn't have the powers of a monarch then you're saying that the position it is copied from, which is the king of england, isn't a monarch
it's constitutional monarchy
that is how the english system works
the english king required approval from the lower hosue too
you don't seem to understand the history of the u.s and its political system
and the funny thing is that, as iirc abraham lincoln's advisor said, while the u.s is an elective monarchy the u.k became a hereditary republic
the u.k has this fucked up fake system of two monarchs and doesn't function properly
@Cobra Commander it's literally what david starkey, the leading historian on the subject, lectures about
laugh til it hurts
the entire system of u.s is a carbon copy of england
of course u.s.a was created by englishmen who wanted their own england and rights as englishmen
magna carta, provisions of oxford, petition of right, all flow directly into u.s constitution
the u.s constitution is just the english bill of rights
so they recreated their own english system in the u.s but further democraticsed it
becuase the u.k has changed, no the u.s
the u.k is very different now, but the u.s is the true continuation of england
the u.s has simply been further democraticsed and rationalised and systematised
but the u.k is just an incoherent mess of politics with no functioning true executive
to paraquote starkey:
if you look at the senate it is merely an elective house of lords. to begin with you were indirectly elected, remember the constitution amendment providing for direct election to the senate is only on the eve of the first world war, but if you look at the senators each rejoices in a quasi-noble status of two per two
per state
the kind of duke of minnesota and earl of oregon. they have effectively life tenures. they have, like the british peerage, access to loot and pillage and reward their followers, sometimes they get found out and there are processes, going directly up to the president itself of impeachment, which is taken straight out of the medieval constitution
the process that clinton narrowly escaped of trial before the senate with the lower house acting as prosecutors
what are the house of represenatives? they are simply the commons of england. their presiding officer is called the speaker just like in u.k parliament
even the administrative officer is the sergeant at arms. why is the u.s lower house run by the sergeant at arms? because the sergeant at arms is the administrative official of the house of cmmons in england since the reign of henry viii
we're not looking at how systems are furhter democraticsed but the structure ofthe system
of course originally when u.s was founded it was only white male property owners who could vote
the founders of the u.s were not concerned with democracy, they were concerned with liberty
that's why washington d.c is so beautifully laid out so that you can easily machinegun rampaging mobs from strongpoints
to continue:
the president is a monarch. i used to say, until reagan was elected, the president was simply geroge iii without a wig, but then reagan came along and the joke fell almost flat as his hair was bouffant
the u.s president also has a court, as all monarchs have their courts; america is ruled by a cabinet chosen purely by the president, and the key officers do not sit in the cabinet but are genuine courtiers, rogues of the night
right, and overtime it changed and evolved, but no
many people could vote, it changed back and forth overtime, but it was more a matter of property owners
you voted for your local knight to go to parliament or if you lived in a town voted for your burgess
not too dissimilar to parliaments in other european countires, at least on a surface level quite similar but really world's apart in the fundamentals which is why u.s.a and u.k and anglo world so different in politics to european countries
which we see with u.k leaivng e.u today that european politics is a roman model and roman law while anglo world is english law, which is sort of inverted
in the 19th century we get mass suffrage coming along both in u.k and u.s and other countries, and the whole thing is a sham
it's just politicians realising that you can bribe people with their own money
you mean when? 800 years ago in the beginnings? yea and it changed overtime
back then most of hte population weren't even freemen but were slaves and serfs
similarly in the u.s.a slaves could not vote
women could not vote
non-whites could not vote
people who didn't own property couldn't vote
through the high middle ages far more people are represented as serfdom collapses and by late 1300s/early 1400s you have most population become freemen
but there are arguments today against universal suffrage and that the people would be better represented if less people could vote
another interesting thing is that there was a far higher level of rerpesentation the further back we go
like if we go back to high middle ages a few thousand people to even a few hundred people had a represenative
we look at today and we are alienated from political power where it is even millions of people to one represenative who just toes party line
so if this stuff you're going on about is as if somehow people have less political power today then you've got to be kidding
even slaves could talk to their knight and influence them
what power does you average person in the u.k or u.s today have over their local mp or congressman or women?
when are you talking about? you keep doing this weird thing of talking about britain and u.s withotu any context of time
no the common people in america rebelled as they had no represenation
they wanted and deserved their own parliament
70% of people in u.s owned land when?
5% of people in britain owned land when?
the u.k system was messy and corrupt already by the early 1700s as there were so many seats with virtually no population
there was a term for that i forget of basically seats on populationless areas
when? historically england was very powerful militarily because its commoenrs were allowed to own and train weapons, and the peasants got very rich from it
this goes way back, like hundred years war peasants got very rich from hundred years war and were paid very high salaries
by around 1500 serfdom had virtually disappeared
latest season's swimwear collection fyi
are you defending serfdom?
the collapse of serfdom in england is the catalyst for creation of modern civilisation
it drove the late middle ages urbanisation and most of the population going into towns becoming competing tradesmen, within 2 centuries population went from something aorund 10% literate to 90% literate
huge tax revenues, huge infrastructure spending, this all creating economic viability of mechanisation
like no point in a water-powered factory when you only sell to a small local market, but when you sell to tens of thousands of people then mechanisation is economically viable
so what if they didn't own land?
the "private" farmers with enclosure was far more efficient creating way more food with less workers breaking the malthusian trap and creating modern civilisation
human civilisation was basically stagnant for the previous 10,000 years
and it could have continued that way for another 10,000 even
real change always happens from the ground up
and as for your meme
that's ridiculous as serfdom was miserable, and you can see some people today living similar lives who by their mid 20s look like old people with broken backs, malnutrition and so on
the real meme of that is hunter gatherer vs agricultural cuck
humans living as hunter gatherers as they evolved for is how humans truly should live where they eat healthy varied diets, live in close communal tribes and so on
serfdom was just a far worse version of all the problems present in modern industrial civilisation
and was like living in sierra fuckning leone lol
have you seen the homicide rates of english villages?
"wasn't sustainable"? humans lived in it for hundreds of thousands of years
your average small english farming community in the high middle ages had the homicide rates of like african warzones today
natural resolves itself, if there are too many humans then some will die off
well now you're just discussing the supposed inevitability of settled agriculture, but we're not discussing that it happened and will happen but are discussing recognising that it sucks balls
get redpilled
right but what point are you making?
but they lived miserable lives
humans live more fulfilling lives as nomads and hunter gatherers
or whatever comes of industrial civilisation
what do you mean by "not really"? malnutrition, regular famines, oppression - we're talking about a people who repeatedly rose up and fought for freedom even though they knew they had previously been crushed
we can see the physical effects too from looking at skulls where they all had fucked up teeth. the superior chad jaws of hunter gatherers is testament to the true natural lifestyle man is made for
no cavemen needed braces, they had perfect teeth. serfs were all mouthbreathing chinless virgins
why would that be? the people in cities were richer and suffered less from malnutrition
based on what do you say that?
these people lived off mostly grain
