Had never heard of it, do you have any context for its origin or how you’d described it? :)

I am not the most knowledgeable on this subject but didnt they just do what amounts to slavery in their colonies like in India? They had colonial rule over India until like sometime in the 1900s didn’t they? Like they were an imperial nation, I’m not sure it really matters if the the exploitation and bloodshed happened within their own landmass, but perhaps I don’t know the history of england very well
I just checked and Ireland didn’t gain independence until 1949. I think the idea that the British empire and it’s monarchy is better than the democracy that extended its benefits only to white men is kind of a hard sell. Its the British empire 😅
As bad as things are in the current moment I’m not sure theres a strong case that living under a literal monarchy with zero Democratic representation and no meaningful civil liberties was better 😅
The handful of merits of the American establishment may be currently disintegrating under the wright of neo-fascism, but the establishment the founders built, explicitly flawed though it was/is, is definitely a better establishment than imperialist monarchical British rule

2·3 days agoIf the midterms pass and hes unable to control them, the representatives coming in having a majority are the hope that something will happen to wrestle control back from him via democratic means.
Time will tell to what extent trump will be able to compromise the election, to what extent progressive candidates will gain a majority, and to what extent they exercise whatever level of control they get.
