Right-Wing Discussion Thread

There's a lot more to erotic love than reproduction. Nibbling your spouse on the ear, for instance.

I'm aware of that. But removing it from being a part of erotic love, as contraceptives do, gives a lie to an act of total self-giving.

That's true. I'd agree that contraceptives make sex is less complete, though I wouldn't say they make it a sin.

For one thing, it means the head of state isn't tied to politics.

Which doesn't matter, as they don't have any power.
Also, It's not true. It's tied to conservative politics, monarchism, etc.

This is important because they make better symbols in times of crisis.

How is an inherited title a good symbol in crisis?

Also, in theory the vast majority of constitutional monarchs do have actual power; not absolute power, though. I am aware that this is not true in practice; this should change. I am not a monarchist because I am a traditionalist, I am a monarchist because Constitutional Monarchy has consistently been the system that has lead to and maintained democracy the best, with the least violence. You are right that monarchism does not have to be right wing, however the Poll equates it with right wing thought and that means it is a valid point of discussion.

Can you demonstrate causation, not just correlation?

As I stated before, in the majority of Constitutional Monarchies, the monarchy at least in theory has some power. Regarding being a symbol, this is a matter of personal opinion, but it is born from my hatred of politicians. I would rather fight for someone who has represented my nation from birth than for someone who lied and bought their way to power, and who I might not have even voted for. For example, it wasn't themPrime Minister who was a symbol of resistance in occupied Denmark during WWII, it was King Christian X. Finally, the reason why Constitutional Monarchies are better at creating democracies than Republics is that Constitutional Monarchies create democracy with the cooperation of the upper, middle, and lower classes, while Republics are almost always born from revolutions. Revolutions being an almost inherently violent affair, they also empower the people most willing to use violence. In France it was the Jacobins, in Russia it was the Bolsheviks, in Germany it was the Nazis, in Cambodia it was the Khmer Rouge, etc. In Constitutional Monarchies, meanwhile, cooperation leads to democracy, and is cooperation not the essence of an ideal democracy?

While I am a most calm person and keep most of my opinions in my collection of written essays and among friends, there does arise times where I find it most pertinent to bring up my position to common folk or other academics in the daily life. Between these discussions and those I read online, I have come to have a particular hatred for the terms and associative qualities of "Civilized", "Progress", "Freedom/Liberty", and "Human Rights". The attitude of their importance being unquestionable is ludicrous, hypocritical, and frankly insulting.

Ugh, those words annoy me too. I kinda wish that they'd shut up about them, really. Especially "human rights" and "Freedom"

Im glad you agree comrade from across the Asian landmass. I find that such terms in use are nothing more then barriers to true meaningful debate and discussion, 'Civilized' is subjective, 'Progress' is simply towards one agenda or the next not a straight line to a better society, the existence thereof being subjective itself, 'Freedom' isnt real but an illusion for the strong to control the weak in a deceptive manner, and 'Human rights' are simply an excuse for one to be a self righteous indignant. Once people understand this, they will be much easier to converse with.

While I don't personally object to the use of any of those words except progress(and even then, it's mostly because it gets used to describe things no reasonable person should consider progress/exclude good things), it annoys me when people misuse them incessantly.

"Progress" is probably the most irritating appeal that's consistently employed.

I am a conservative and a monarchist of Protestant faith who believes that God and Country come first before one's own politics however I also view that the left is nothing more than a pack of traitors willing to betray the people for some scraps of silver.

NO SURRENDER!!!!

Merrily ignoring the tendency of Protestants to be efficient merchants, because it's actually all about the silver, I see. Your knowledge of history is sorely lacking, but that doesn't really surprise me.

"true conservatives" aren't Raegan and Thatcher worshippers?

Even Anglican conservatives tend to be Anglo-Catholic rather than Protestant (Scruton, John Milbank, Peter Hitchens, T.S. Eliot, etc.)

Define "true conservative". There are multiple forms of conservatism.

People will laugh, and the singaporeans will fail and make it illegal to use the word "syria".

Bashar Al Assad will announce he's going through gender reassignment surgery.

And Al-Baghdadi will announce he's converting to Judaism.

Because Singapore colonizing Syria is just as likely.
