@hismajesty6272 Why doesn't the King of the United Kingdom currently care about his people?

You've made a great point here. Software is objectively perfectible and yet the Linux kernel still has unfixed and undetected vulnerabilities.

This is the correct answer. There is no refutation for it. Those who disagree are utilitarians.

@Erdwick Yes, they idealize the best, the most regulated, in the sense of the most ordered, the most well put together, the best in Nature.

@hismajesty6272 How do monarchists explain Switzerland? I could be for the monarchy but Switzerland seems to show it is completely unnecessary.

7:03 - "I'm going to argue here that leftism is what Christianity was to the whole of history is to the modern world." What?

@bottledwater4484 nazism is just on the left, not a third position. All big state, dictatorial, totalitarian governments are on the left. Extreme right wing would be Merchant Capitalism.

What's more based than Hoppe's Libertarianism?

@hismajesty6272 Read Hoppe. You're wrong.

@lautheimpaler4686 I don't know, I was not asking rhetorically, I really want to know in order to decide if monarchy is the best system.

@RlsIII-uz1kl "Christianity is the foundation of society" And Paganism is the foundation of Christianity. Hence Paganism is the foundation of society.

Since you'd choose a king/Caesar, how do you explain Switzerland's success with zero monarchies in its history? Genuinely curious. This is the only major block for me regarding monarchism.

@wittymystic7361 No, the issue is he doesn't understand he could simply have said he is a Stoic who worships Logos (the same God Einstein worshiped) and that is the basis of much of Christianity. That's what he meant.

How about a return to not caring about anything east of the Balkans?

Thank you, great comment.

Only if we're lucky.

That's called Objectivism.

"It's the only one to conquer lands and make them better." The Portuguese when they left Angola left it better than both Portugal at the time and better than the Angola of the past.

The answer is Hoppe.

@Erdwick You're right there. It was a different focus, to avoid chaos, rather than any emotional reason.

Hoppian (anarcho-capitalist) Libertarians (the true Libertarians) don't believe in any blank slate.

37:06 - "I've heard that's a Celtic thing" - pardon me? Do you mean a British thing? The native Britons are Celtic speakers but they are not Celtic people, so nothing can be a "Celtic thing" just because a Celtic-speaker Briton does it. The Celtic people are those in France you called Occitans along with Iberians (they are both the same exact people genetically). No one north of Auvergne has ever called themselves Celts nor have they ever been called Celts by any ancient historians - even Strabo and Siculus both said that Celts in Gallia only exist in Narbo and Marseille in Narbonensis and that outside of this province everyone else were Galatai and not Celts. If an Iberian does something, is that a "Roman thing" just because they speak a Romance language? No. The language your recent ancestors spoke does not grant you the right to extend the name of that linguistic branch to your culture. Please don't confuse Celtic speakers with Celtic people, it detracts from your credibility.

@Miasas56 The same thing applies to the Irish. They are just Celtic speakers. Nothing else about them is Celtic historically. The Romans called Ireland "Britannia Minor". They were part of "the British Isles" until a recent change to add them separately. They are of the same genetic stock as the Britons, properly the Welsh. Forgive me if I used linguistic shorthand to refer to the Irish as Britons - and they're the same ethnicity! - so I'm sure you can now appreciate how even more disappointing it can be to see someone confuse Celtic speakers with Celtic people who are of a different ethnicity entirely (Iberian and Occitanian).

Yes, this was much more hazy and unstructured, or better yet, aimless.

@lucianjaeger4893 I get that part, but why did they let it get this way? Presumably the point of having a monarchy is to protect its people like the whole video is arguing, so why did the UK let them become impotent? This is precisely what I'm asking.

@johnteixeira1791 That is de facto, not de jus. By law he could interfere and have power.

Saying that your opponents "simply don't know what they're talking about" (in regards to the historicity of Jesus) is called "poisoning the well" and is a logical fallacy. 12:26, 18:16 - These maps are pure fantasy. There were no Iberians outside the Iberian Levant. There were also no "Latins" outside the Italic peninsula. The ethnic group identified as "Gauls" should take all of Iberia except for the Levant (where Iberians were), Celtiberia (where Celtiberians were) and the Basque country since the Roman Empire started. Even if we assume Tartessian was not a Celtic language, the ancient Greco-Romans did not categorize peoples by languages, but by ancestry first, then other attributes, as Herodotus tells us; and other Greek writers do inform us that the Turduli, an offshoot of the Tartessians were "of the same stock as the neighboring Celts", of which they did not say about the Iberians; hence, if choosing whether to represent Tartessians and Turduli by either Iberian or Celtic, Celtic would be preferred. In fact the name Gallos was never used in Iberia except to properly identify foreign Gauls from Gallia proper settling in a stretch of Iberia, near Celtiberia. Celts and Celtic were the two names strictly used for western Iberia, whereas eastern Iberia was only ever called Celtiberia. As for France, the Gauls proper (Galli, Galatai) were only on the whole northern side of France, whereas in the Center and South, the Celts occupied; so the map currently wrongly overextends Gauls south of the center of France, which was not the case. Central France and Southern France are more genetically similar than Central France and Northern France to this day.

@thek2despot426 Thank you, you've changed my mind.

@TheRagingPlatypus It wasn't clear to me, I thought you meant out of all Europeans.

Occitans are ethnically Iberian - or vice versa. This spectrum includes the Swiss French (so from Auvergne to Swiss French it skips that middle "alpine hub" you showed on your map at 15:33).

Why not Hans Hermann Hoppe?

" Like you said, no one has disproven this. " Where is this part on the video? Do you have a timestamp for it?

@Tehz1359 I don't believe he said it.

@Wraize1 Steven Spielberg interviewed all the survivors he could find; he could not a find a single one who said they were mistreated in any way. Did you watch the tapes? I did.

Orthodox Jews barely participate in gentile politics and they are not the "Jews" that the right complains about. In fact the right is perfectly aware that the "Jews" they dislike torture Orthodox Jews who publish the truth about WW2.

@RlsIII-uz1kl The foundation of Christianity is Stoicism and the only thing in common between all Christians is that same foundation.

The answer is Natural Order, aka Hoppe Libertarianism.

35:45 - "How are we this gullible?" It all started when the Romans imposed Christianity on everyone. How gullible do you have to be to believe foreign stories and a foreign god over your own?

@talisikid1618 Can you give me a source?

What about the concept of virtue in paganism, was that not ridding from corruption?

I used to think the same until a few seconds ago when a post above explained that the original Left/Right wing terms had nothing to do with State size but simply with progress versus tradition.

What right do we want? Hoppian.
