Right-Wing Discussion Thread VIII: McCarthy Was Right

[Lady Scylla]

I've a feeling I'm not going to like this answer, but why?

Because I like the alternate anthem, and I miss George V.

Well, that was a lot less repulsive than I was expecting.

George V was pretty great. Elizabeth's doing a pretty great job though.

I feel like Charles isn't going to be quite as good though.

What, did you expect something sexist? Nah, I like kings for the little things, like wearing military uniforms.

There may be some benefit in little things, but those have to do with foreign culture (e.g. Arab leaders might respect a king more than a queen) than with personal preference.

The thing I dislike about Charles is the womanizing in his younger years. I feel that brought a bit of shame to the family, and it was outright disrespectful of his late first wife to marry his former mistress.

[Bakery Hill]

I quite like Queen Elizabeth, but after decades of a queen, it will be nice to have a king on the throne again.

Also, Prince Charles' sympathy for Orthodoxy also gives me hope that, under him, Anglican-Orthodox relations will get fairly good, and that he could use his influence against theological liberals.

Your view's definitely in the minority.

Polls indicate that Australians would rather a republic straight up than King Charles.

I will never quite forgive George V for abandoning Nicky and Alix, but it is true that he was a good king with an irreproachable sense of duty.

Eh, I'd rather the commonwealth quit pretending it gives a shit about the monarchy. I'm not a huge fan of Charles' scandals either; it humiliated his late wife, and, by extension, the rest of the family; which is a shame, because the Queen and her consort seem like good people.

We all have mistakes we wish we could take back. At the time, I'm sure the idea that they would kill them, especially kill the children, seemed unthinkable.

We don't by and large. We're still here coz of inertia really.

He was a fucking dick. And in a highly personalised institution like a monarchy, that's not good.

Yes, and that is especially why I am against him marrying his former mistress. Honestly, he should have been skipped over for succession; a monarch's primary duty (in the model of the UK) is to be a role model for the people.

What's up with that article? The language appears to be very odd.

The one true language for good Anglos.

Delet this

The degeneration of English now has its own wiki as if it's a proper language. That's called Progress.

Scots and English developed together. The former is just less influenced from the Normans than the latter.

What you mean is this is a fancy excuse for poor English skills. Now the SNP have ran with it and ruined it for everyone.

Will he take the throne though after all this stuff?

Unless he were to die before the Queen (which is unlikely), yes.

He has been unfairly vilified in large part because Diana was better than him at maintaining a public image, and rather cynically manipulated the press and the public. In reality the marriage was undermined by serious issues on both sides, not just on Charles' part. But the whole debacle has continued to haunt him, with people like you being unable to let it go even decades later.

William seems like a nice fella. I like Harry more coz he'd probs be mad to get on the piss with. If I were Charles I'd abdicate for the good of the institution. But that's probably not going to happen. Instead we'll have a horribly unpopular king at at time when both Australia's PM and the head of the Opposition are staunch republicans. See ya later Mr Windsor.

People like me? I don't give a fuck who he fucks. What the English Kardashians get up to in their private lives is no concern of mine. Just pointing out that if you want to be a good monarch you've got to be a saint. And a saint Charlie ain't.

I agree with Bakery here. A constitutional monarch must be a role model, that is their main job. They aren't administrators anymore, and it isn't that hard to try to be an advocate for the traditional family.

If Harry were ever to take the throne, I wouldn't be able to shake the feeling that Syndrome from the fucking Incredibles is king.

Why just the traditional family?

Oh, right. Nevermind. Wouldn't be surprised if you advocated forcing a monarch to abdicate their throne if they came out as being lesbian/gay and married as such.

Yes, yes, we know you're such a loud supporter for LGBT rights. You don't have to keep informing us.

Because anything non-traditional is obviously wrong.

Billy's doing great there. He seems like a nice and genuine bloke, he's got a lovely wife and two kids, you seem them on the telly over here pretty often, and despite my red convictions they just seem so damn nice. If I were a monarchist I'd be hoping that Charles abdicates, else its a white knuckled ride until he carks it. I'd be expecting to lose a few outlying commonwealth members to the scourge of Republicanism at the very least.

Of course they'd have to abdicate. Not only would their marriage be contrary to the teachings of the Church of England, which as Sovereign they'd be oath-bound to uphold, but they would be unable to fulfil their duty by producing a legitimate heir to the throne.

All the more reason for him to be king really.
