Yo <@578804170342137867> why was Apollo banned?
He says he's sorry and won't post anything like whatever it was again
@ThunderFuck He spammed the channels with rubbish.
Nesselblatt, I'm talking feudal Parliaments, not early modern ones. The French Assembly was of course a disaster, but i think its important to reflect on monarchy before this period, and how they worked. Powerful monarchs expanded the roles of their Parliaments so they could expand their tax collection, and weak monarch minimised the role of their Parliaments so they could secure their hold on the throne. If you have a noble title, if you represent a wealthy city, you should negotiate with the ruler as to the taxes you give to said ruler.
Of course the monarch should be powerful in and of themselves, but absolutism is a modernist occurrence, and it was that centralisation of power which led to the revolution. Power should be dispersed throughout the estates, and not just legally like some liberal separation of powers BS, but by the actual reality of power held, and they will hold eachother in check, and in the aim of furthering their own interests (the clergy, nobility, bourgeois and commoners) they will progress the general interest of the civilisation.
I was referring to feudal parliaments like the one in Britain or France
In practice the nobility and monarch negotiating to raise taxes for the sake of the country just didn't happen
Parliament wasn't used except as a way for them to avoid taxes
The way you keep the monarch from excessively taxing the populace is by having the state be decentralized to some degree with other ppl with tangible power to collectively oppose royalty if there are genuine excesses
It's easy to veto taxes if you're a comfy landed noble who will never face consequences for obstruction
It's hard to on your own to oppose a king over some petty tax you'd like to avoid, easier to do when the entire class is pissed off about genuine excessive taxation
What you do with parliaments that vetoes taxation is first of all nothing since parliament would rarely be called into sessions to begin with the monarch finding creative ways to tax without calling it taxation (for example forced loans) until eventually some sort of crisis gives a parliament leverage over the monarch which they can use to enhance their own powers etc.
@Endeavour do you have a folder filled with boomer memes on your phone/computer for whenever you see a boomer statement
I have a q-boomer friend that understands the race realism but buys believes in the "demkkkract plantation"
I don't know how he can combine both of race realism and and boomer views on race but he managed to do it
Like he told me he thought candace owens was based
just thought of him when you put that up
@EYEFORKNOWLEDGE156 Ask him if he really thinks that he'll be able to convince black people to accept less welfare paid for by white people or affirmative action since they can't complete in a free market due to lower average IQ. The other thing to point out is that they get status by being on the left. It gives them power over white people which is really appealing to them.
@Endeavour I'll ask him the next time I see him but I don't see him too often when he told me that I thought he was joking at first because I had already shown him my power level he picked up his race realist views because he grew up in a white working class neighborhood that was being absorbed into the ghetto he has a lot of crazy stories from those times.
It was basically a situation where most of the whites would view you as a friend because you were white and most blacks viewed you as an enemy because you were white. He also has to be one of the strangest person I have ever met.
sorry it took me a minute
its only possible in a democracy

@everyone What kind of content would you like to see more of?
- Political theory (eg. Lies of the Enlightenment videos)
- Cultural commentary (eg. The Gettysburg, Frankenstein, or Athens videos)
- Personal Experience (eg. My political journey, authenticity, or my leftist family member videos)
I have several ideas, but I'm wondering what people want more.
Political theory
Bloodsport /s
@Liechtenauer I've never done bloodsports and I'm not going to.
I really enjoy your political/philosophical videos
They have made me reconsider a lot of my ideas about life and society in general
Political theory
/s denotes sarcasm. Honestly answer would be to pick up where trudiltom left off by exposing new ideas / esoteric political theory
Political theory
cultural commentary
Political theory.
Political theory would be great
