I'm think it's time to revert back to a monarchical system. |
|
I think we're ludicrous. I think the way we talk to one another is ludicrous. There's no exchange of ideas - only a gigantic pissing contest and each day we are subject to the smell of everyone else's ammonia. The Enlightenment has totally failed. People cannot govern themselves, and the more we flap our lips about relative trivialities (oh - wouldn't it be great if the Sudanese could ruminate over whether a candidate may have fabricated a memory instead of, say, whether they will be able to EAT TOMORROW!!!) the more I believe we ought to hang it up and dredge up some watered down descendant of King George and reestablish the monarchy. There. Now our collective bullshit can reduce to a factor of one. A monarchy. A blessed, tyrannical, yet discursively whole monarchy.
After all of this talk about a "movement" ("Yup, it's a movement all right," I tend to utter to myself) I wonder if we even understand what the fuck the term means. Yet with a monarchy we'll be able to politicize old-school. A kick in the pants to reacquaint ourselves with what "overthrowing 'The Man'" (or, oh heavens, 'The Woman') really means. A truly incorrigible asshole-in-charge for us to collectively hate. And hate we will as our running about with signs that read "Change" and "Help Make History" would actually have some type of profound meaning.
So go ahead, toss your spitballs and ammonia-soiled invectives my way. Maybe this whole thing worked "way back when," but now all I see are too many people who think they're all too fucking important.
So there! Poo!

7. The Habsburgs were so pathetic. George III wasn't really all that bad. |
|
I've read extensively about him and I've come to the conclusion the guy gets a bad rap.

3. Hillary would love that. |

If we thought she was bad over a Presidential election, just think of what she'd do to be queen for life.

6. Elizabeth II is a "watered-down" descendant of King George III. |
|
We could just be like Canada and make her head of state.
