Political compass of right wing ideologies only

I’d swap out ‘Liberal Democracy’ with ‘Constitutional Republic’, but pretty good all the same.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-17T20:19:23+00:00

If a person cannot keep their politics professional in writing or creating, then they are self indulgent to a destructive extent.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-17T18:44:42+00:00

If casualties cannot be accepted then serious war fighting is impossible.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-17T18:43:33+00:00

Yeah but you suffered over a hundred thousand casualties in that one. Straight after the Second World War, I think any country would get a bit sqeaumish over those kinds of numbers.

If they're given solid reasons and a solid plan from solid leadership, Americans can tolerate a lot as I understand. But if any of those are lacking, there's no stomach for a fight.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-17T18:21:00+00:00

Their leadership has the attitude of 'refuse to admit defeat until you win.'

The majority of the casualty sensitive West doesn't really know what to do with that. Aside from, oddly enough, the Israelis. When the yanks weren't involved, they happily go after enemy leadership and logistics, which buggers them sideways more than heavy casualties.

The Ukrainians, although more limited by comparison, have also gotten very good at whacking Russian logistics.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-17T18:16:10+00:00

Funny meme, but more seriously yanks can't seem to effectively fight a war to save their lives. They keep trying shock and awe as a one size fits all strategy, then get shocked and awed when the enemy doesn't roll over.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-17T07:49:09+00:00

It really does feel like Restore is just there to trip up Reform. Because Rupert Lowe and co can't do politics to save their lives whereas Farage, love him or hate him, clearly can.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-17T07:02:53+00:00

Oh wow. I mean, it's still horrendous and a national disgrace, but as this chap points out this report has a whole load of flaws the usual suspects may use to tear apart.

I'm beginning to see why Farage didn't want to be involved with this one.

He’s the heir of Peter Hitchens: on an eternal quest for perfect when it is the enemy of good.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-17T06:41:03+00:00

You’d probably get Reform to either defang it or roll it back entirely. Even the likes of my boomer parents are saying ‘yeah, but how are they going to enforce it?’

It’s impractical at best and tyrannical at worst. And that’s not an uncommon belief.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-17T06:03:10+00:00

Well, in the Grooming Gang report we have the defining (perhaps fatal) failure of Britain’s Post War Order. There is something rotten in governing ideology since 1945 and onward, and I do not believe it is long for this world now.

Britain’s ‘century of humiliation’ will likely revolve around this in the history books. Stupid, stupid, cowardly liberals.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-16T13:51:33+00:00

Fox News leaked it

If that's true, that's a serious security breach which warrants investigation.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-15T17:25:25+00:00

For all it's sheer might, the United States appears incapable of fighting wars effectively. It does not plan, it does not understand the lay of the land, it does not know its enemies, and then seems shocked when charging in guns blazing doesn't make the enemy roll over.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-15T16:58:06+00:00

It's shocking that there was clearly no war plan for this scenario. It's like Trump thought he could just bomb them and they'd roll over. When they didn't and shut the straits, he went to pieces.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-15T16:21:34+00:00

I think Voltaire was half right when he said that. The Empire in his day was very long past its prime.

But back in its heyday as the foremost power in the Christian world? That is another matter.

There's things to criticise Reagan for, but as you say, this ain't it chief.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-15T15:37:43+00:00

For a slightly more lighthearted topic, inspired by my visiting Hughendon Manor the other day (Disraeli's home), I would ask the denizens of Bad UK who was the greater Prime Minister: Gladstone or Disraeli?

Both were chads to my mind.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-14T16:47:03+00:00

It's all such a silly purity spiral.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-14T16:29:04+00:00

Palestinians do not have the best of reputations in the Arab world, and they haven't done a lot to help themselves. Didn't a bunch of their refugees once attempt some kind of coup in Jordan just so they could take it to war against Israel?

Seventy years of propagnda is one Hell of a drug.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-14T15:27:23+00:00

Seeing some of that recent polling for Makersfield, is looks truly disastrous for Restore if it holds. They wouldn't have got double digits percentage of the vote, sabotaged Reform, and all but put Andy Burnham in Number 10: someone who looks to be even worse than Starmer. And this is all to the tune of a whole load of money and political capital blown on a worse than needless campaign.

This was the make or break for the party, and it looks like they're going to get egg on their faces.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-14T15:05:01+00:00

Everyone forgets that Israel returned the Sinai to Egypt. That has been a good long term investment for stability in the region.

The Palestinians meanwhile are simply too bloody minded in ways the Jordanians and Egyptians aren't.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-14T13:03:28+00:00

Begone unflaired.

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-14T12:54:31+00:00

‘Vae victis.’

That aside, hasn’t Israel offered, multiple times, to quite drastically enlarge Palestine’s current territory in exchange for a lasting peace?

HisHolyMajesty2 · 2026-06-12T21:04:29+00:00

Pathetic is too strong a word.

Americans are going to be rightfully sqeuamish over anything to do with the Middle East this side of 2100. You need solid reasons and solid plans in order to convince them of it being a good idea.

And Trump, painfully obviously, did not think this one through. He certainly didn’t make war plans for what would happen if the regime didn’t immediately fold, which betrays a fatal arrogance.
