Because I am one. No One Laugh!
I must say that one of the most surprising things there for me is "ceremonial monarchy". I mean, having a family of privileged individuals that are like a strange kind of diplomats, which hold their position because of blood... Sounds like ana extremely expendable thing. I am from Spain, and while I am not a republican (I am anarchist), I don't get why countries where monarchies are long gone or never existed hve people who would like having one.
Regarding the "woke" phenomenon, I will answer to your other posts regarding that with something very simple: I am a western European, white, cisgender, heterosexual and a man. So believe me if I tell you nobody has ever tried to ashame or attack me because of that condition while not being rude/discriminative or whatever you want.
Well-deserved win today, wonderful strikes from Van de Ven and Porro, great vision by Werner to create the own goal, great goalkeeping by Vicario. Top four in our hands again! COYS!
(Also glad we were able to help Luton Town potentially survive the drop by beating Forest, hope to see them still around in the Prem next season)

Before I came to the left I was one fo the writers for the American Royalist Party, so I'm uniquely able to give a lil insight on the phenomenon of neo-monarchy.
The shortest way I can put it is, in essence, they want a strong leader who is above the legal process. That desire is then paired with the fantasticalisation of monarchy.
Because Fascism is a dirty word for Americans, especially for those who like some degree of democratic process. It's like "who's capable of being a strong centralized figure of power, but isn't associated with either Fascism or Communism? Oh, that's right, a king or queen."
there's also the much more innocent "wow, monarchies look cool" crowd.
Plus, we have to remember that a part of the authleft is also very fond of personalization and centralisation of power. Mostly leninist currents, like stalinists & maoists can be strongly in favor of this. As a consequence, authoritarianism is a gate from right to left. Stalinists can become nearly fascists and viceversa. I personnallly began my road to libleft through a first passage from authright to authleft.
Forest are the type of team to buy a two whole teams worth of players, loan in class players such as Chris Wood, Keylor Navas, and more recently Gio Reyna and still be bottom five. Like come on! Quite embarrassing if you ask me.
Also rest in peace to former manager of teams such as Wimbledon, Luton, and Forestin Joe Kinnear. Won multiple trophies with Spurs during the late sixties and early seventies. You'll be missed.
Mmh, that's interesting and makes me run wild into political science hypothesis
It seems to me that the usual path of political-self evolution rotates anti-clockwise in the political compass, and based on the momentum of this motion you tend towards the center or towards the extremes, usually (for the middle man, and for most of people) the former
In fact, you went from authright, to authleft, to libleft... quite a route you did there
Circa my evolution, went from auth, to authleft, to libleft/progressive left
And I know people, friends even, that went from vaguely libleft, to libright, to conservative right
As well as older folks that went and go towards center the more time passes
I want to know if that holds true for most of you, it may be a new theory in my hands there haha
I could call it... the Toilet Flush theory!
Kinnear probably saw Porro's goal and the tribute to his mother (it was Porro's mother's birthday) and then figured he was happy enough to die peacefully, knowing that Spurs has another legendary RB in the making. Godspeed Kinnear, you will be sorely missed.

I was quite right before(both in economic terms and in social terms),but as I gradually get older I become more left-wing.
currently I would probably position myself as
economically far left and socially centre-left when it comes to the US and Europe,100%democratic in america,70%labour in the Uk(100% for Corbyn though),pretty much would vote for the SPD in Germany.
for my own country (China) it would be centre left both economically and socially.
For democracy and authoritarianism I am generally for democracy,but the transition to it remains a dillemafor me.(it didn’t end pretty in a lot of dictatorships and they still slip back.eg.russia and most of the nations flipped blue in the arab spring)
Ah Han, I am going to complain to the CCP for you supporting democracy. Oh yes! Did you hear? Minus 10000000 social credits for you!
Don't do this. This kind of theorizing is how we ended up with thinkers like Huntington and Fukuyama.
The CCP is a great,glorious,correct party that is always fighting the good fight for the common man and supporting people’s democracy,we always support its democratic pluralist one-party leadership and this definitely not some kind of propoganda.
By any chance your friend’s name is Ronald Wilson Reagan?
Excuse my Chinglish
你有病吗? 我真的很担心你会被CCP抓到 ok? CCP is no joke 我听说在中国CCP就会 torture and execute 笑他们的人.
Again I am sorry for the Chinglish and if you want to know the full meaning please google translate it. I express myself better while using two languages or more so yeah…
Funny, but no
It's my best friend: born in Italy, but in a strict muslim family, when I knew him he integrated more with us westerners, but was always conflicted between our liberal lifestyle and (in our friends circle) progressive thinking, and his muslim family roots and expectations. Though it seemed like he was going towards the former, he firstly heavily shifted his view, on economics and on personal lifestyle, with anime and youtube videos; the latter media also pushed him to conservativism more, and now is in a journey of muslim reconnection.
He is still my best friend, because he pushes me to develop my view through confrontation on these deep topics, internally or directly with him, something that most people I knew since ever would not, or cannot, do. But a lot of times, after some long discussions, I questioned myself if it was worthy the struggle, just for the sake of personal development. I reached a point where I don't sincerely care so much, and I care only for the positives... a zen state of some sort.
Looking like the Saints will need to play in the promotion play-offs if they get promoted. Three spots to go (Leicester, Leeds, or Ipswich will be the highest ranked team). Hoping we can do the impossible!
Thank you for your concern,but I am afraid you have watched too much anti-communist propoganda...
China isn’t North Korea,after all...
For great Soviet belly giggles, rate my flag. If you rate it poorly I promise you shall not be summarily executed for treason or placed in Gulag.... *Crosses fingers while fingering his moustache*

8/10, looks good and i dont mind the watermark as much
UCL Quarterfinal first fixtures! Brilliant matches which met my expectations. Madrid able to best Man FFP to draw 3-3. Late Arsenal goal let's the Gunners draw Munich. Sadly the Cherries aren't there. Or will ever be there. Also Chelsea, how do you draw to Sheffield!!

I was indecisive, but decided not to
Day two of the UCl Quarterfinals!! Barcelona had a great 3-2 victory against PSG. Hoping the next leg will bring just as much excitement. Jeez wonder what other 3-2 game there was, maybe a hat trick?
Atlético de Madrid got an easy 2-1 victory against Borriusa Dortmund. Could be trouble for BVB as they travel to Spain in their next leg. El Otro Clásico for the semifinals maybe 👀
