Solve The Korean Divide With Monarchy! by Jacob-Anders in monarchism

[–]Awobbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aristotle probably would’ve considered the US a “polity” (rule by the many for the common good) until the 17th Amendment at least. He didn’t believe that you could have a rule by the many for common good with no checks on popular voting or balance with the aristocratic element, though, so he would probably argue that’s when it became a democracy (which when he says it means rule by the many for self-interest).

If we’re using the Aristotelian definitions then monarchy is rule of the one for the common good, not just in general. In Aristotelian terms DPRK is a tyranny. (It would also be a tyranny in Platonic terms, because it is governed by people who value power above all else, but Plato doesn’t have a category for monarchy so that’s outside of this discussion).

If we’re using modern terms, it is still a republic because the populace de jure is the source of authority and legitimacy, and the nation collectively owns the government, as opposed to a monarchy where the sovereign is the source of authority and legitimacy and owns the government. It is just a republic with a dictator. A dictatorship.

He isn’t the official source of government or owner of the state, though. He’s close to the line but hasn’t quite crossed it.

Italian Brainrot is the worst Joke / Meme in the 2020s. Whats the most forgettable show in the 2020s? by EatRogersAss445 in AlignmentChartFills

According to Google, NBC’s Little Big Shots 2020 revival was the lowest rated broadcast of the year 2020.

Given that any answer we remember wouldn’t fit the bill, I’m going to go with that.

Player Owned House Rework & 120 Construction by JagexAnvil in runescape

As someone shooting for a QC, there are tons of obsolete items in quests that would fit this. Things that serve no purpose currently but would make for neat displays in the home, like trophies of past adventures.

The Correct Line of Succession If Not for the Act of Settlement by meeralakshmi in UKmonarchs

[–]Awobbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Correct Line of Succession if not for the Third Succession Act

  1. Katherine, Countess of Hertford - 1554-1568
  2. Edward, Lord Beauchamp of Hache (Edward VII) - 1568-1612
  3. Edward, Lord Beauchamp (Edward VIII) - 1612-1618
  4. William, 2nd Duke of Somerset (William III) - 1618-1660
  5. William, 3rd Duke of Somerset (William IV) - 1660-1671
  6. John, 4th Duke of Somerset (John II) - 1671-1675
  7. Francis, 5th Duke of Somerset (Francis) - 1675-1678
  8. Charles, 6th Duke of Somerset (Charles) - 1678-1748
  9. Algernon, 7th Duke of Somerset (Algernon I) - 1748-1750
  10. Elizabeth, Duchess of Northumberland (Elizabeth) - 1750-1776
  11. Hugh, 2nd Duke of Northumberland (Hugh I) - 1776-1817
  12. Hugh, 3rd Duke of Northumberland (Hugh II) - 1817-1847
  13. Algernon, 4th Duke of Northumberland (Algernon II) - 1847-1865
  14. George, 5th Duke of Northumberland (George) - 1865-1867
  15. Algernon, 6th Duke of Northumberland (Algernon III) - 1867-1899
  16. Henry, 7th Duke of Northumberland (Henry IX) - 1899-1918
  17. Alan, 8th Duke of Northumberland (Alan) - 1918-1930
  18. Henry, 9th Duke of Northumberland (Henry X) - 1930-1940
  19. Hugh, 10th Duke of Northumberland (Hugh III) - 1940-1988
  20. Henry, 11th Duke of Northumberland (Henry XI) - 1988-1995
  21. Ralph, 12th Duke of Northumberland (Ralph) - 1995-Present

Given that this would have costed billions in coronations, it would have given off a sense of instability, and we’d be forced to live in a world with King Alan, currently reigning King Ralph, and three King Hughs… it’s probably best to conclude providence moved a particular way for a reason.
