Disavowing devine authority is a post-enlightenment idea. Up until then and through all of human history rulers were considered either divinely inspired or gods themselves.

Romans did it

Egyptians did it

Scands did it to an extent

Greeks did it

Maybe it's my Scandinavian roots showing

I think its more Prot concept to have no hierarchical order

I understand the concept fully, you see a man that seems to "walk amongst the Gods" because he does things that are so brave, fierce, etc., it does make sense. But I still think it's gay.

My grandparents are literal immigrants from Norway I'm a third gen american.

way back when in pagan times even scandis had a pseudo divine-right concept

And at the same time he expected people to shower him with gratitude and reverence regardless of personal weakness. The unwillingness of the Russian Whites to cooperate with other white movements was the nail to their coffin, as they refused to cut their losses. Mannerheim and Finnish White Guard volunteered their support to Whites to re-take St. Petersburg from Petrograd Soviet, but Yudenich refused because that would have equaled recognition of Finnish independence, even if it would have guaranteed capture of St. Petersburg and breaking the spine of the newborn communist state.

It's prot education that tells you no such thing exists

Your concept FullMetal doesnt make sense but agree to disagree i guess

Scandinavians were only catholic for like 100 years so the concepts of Prots took root a lot better there than in other countries

@Kombat-Unit muh russians wont accept I exist

Joke's on them their country stopped existing.

I'm third gen as well Bowlsta

Grandmother's maiden name is Johansen

She married a fuckin mick >_>

My surname is still incredibly scandinavian

Norwegian specifically

I think there is some truth in it , it is also a huge part of American education to mock divine rule

As if it was some crazy guy who said i speak for God now bahahaha

The same way they speak of abstract concepts of the righteousness of democracy

Yeah divine right isn't some crazy guy saying god speaks to him

Founding a country on enlightement values and masonism not even once.

It's more of a pointing out that metaphysical inequalities exist thing

Elaborate on that more

Metaphysical inequalities exist

And every ruler pre democracy was a " Tryant " lol

Not everyone is equal in the spiritual realm or on earth essentially.

Some people have more spiritual clarity than others as an example

And to clarify, I don't assume divine right is some crazy guy saying he's God.

The king is the king because all material comes from and is a mirror of the metaphysical and since he is better than you in the physical one can say he is better than you in the metaphysical

It's more nuanced and communally organized

Essentially

you can replace king with dictator or emperor or whatever you want

muh jesus being a carpenter

Lol

I never understood the point of using hinduism to explain EH like I understand it works but European native religions also can foot the bill and I've even seen some EH use germanic paganism for a fill in
