[From “Can Conservativism be Maintained in a Democracy?”]

American conservative media pundits argue that in order to restore liberty and conservative ideas: all the citizens need to do is defeat the Democrats and replace establishment Republicans with true conservatives. We are never told how this is to be achieved when the overwhelming majority of voters are raised by a government teaching them to hate conservative ideas while our culture promotes progressivism[…]
Even the times under the Articles of Confederation, and later under the Constitution were not the libertarian paradise[…]Just as the Tories warned replacing a king with politicians would do, it quickly became far more tyrannical under local and federal representatives than under King George[…]
American Christians celebrate our perceived conservative and Christian form of governance, but compared to the Middle Ages we would be viewed as secular and progressive[…]
By their nature, democracy, representatives, and legislative branches are progressive. Under medieval kingship, the law and government have no professional legislative branch. Law did not “evolve” or grow; it remained intact and protected[…]
So long as the democratic state exists, liberty and property rights need diligent protection. Even if you play great defense and win 95% of the time, the other 5% will drastically transform society[…]
Conservatives must be aware that the progressive ideas of the past are now being embraced and advocated by their own leaders and politicians. They reject only sections of the current progressive agenda[…]
Republican Party under Abraham Lincoln defeated the libertarians and reactionaries of the South and destroyed the last remnants of the Founder’s Republic[…]
What the Founders meant by “we the people” differed significantly from Lincoln’s or the modern Republicans’ belief in urban masses and voter expansion. The former meant the large landowning aristocratic representatives of sovereign states

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion

The likes of you, OP, are aware of just one thing: Good is now an alien concept.

I’m reminded of this by the narrator - Burt Kwouk - of the English dubbed version of the Japanese TV series “The Water Margin”:

The ancient sages said, ‘Evil must have Good to feed upon. And then, destroys itself’

At most, once a certain four years are up - if either Big Mac-induced heart attack or Section 8’d due to Senility doesn’t do for him between then and now - MAGA will die. And the likes of you will either end up eating each other or end up being the same irrelevant nothings the Teabaggers became post-Mitt Romney.

You are now aware of a new concept known as Hobson’s Choice.

How can we lose when you won’t win either way…?!

Under medieval kingship, the law and government have no professional legislative branch. Law did not “evolve” or grow; it remained intact and protected

Gross misuderstanding of history. Law, both local and national, changed constantly. Kings, lords, governors and local committees made and adapted law constantly. But it was rarely protected, the only constraint on what a king could do was what he could do without triggering a rebellion or a more powerful organization.
Professional lawyers already existed for the wealthy and helped rulers write new law.

Hobson’s choice: Take it or DERP OFF!

Am I correct? X3

Essentially so. The original Thomas Hobson rented out horses in the 16th and 17th centuries, and as you came up to his livery stable you could see the full gamut of 40. However, anyone who thought this was meant to be a selection of steeds was in for a disappointment–in order to avoid exhausting any one horse, Hobson would only rent to a given customer the horse closest to the door and rotate the others closer when one was returned. At least you could tell the health of the full complement for return visits when you more than likely would not be given the same horse as before.

At least, they admit that they are against democracy. Conservatives are now firmly reactionary.

can Christians celebrate our perceived conservative and Christian form of governance, but compared to the Middle Ages we would be viewed as secular and progressive

Well yeah, it was the middle ages. Fuck it, noone wants that, even you, posting on the web, nazi hypocrite. Except in video games where you don’t risk getting your head cut because you don’t want the landlord to rape your future wife. Savagery is unacceptable.

If you really want a life similar to the old times, go be a monk in a remote monastery. Or keep playing video games and don’t confuse them with reality…
